Against the Sicilian
53 variations · 3 practice sets
The Sicilian Defense begins with 1.e4 c5: Black challenges the center with a flank pawn. These White practice sets offer three distinct responses: the Closed Sicilian fianchetto, the Grand Prix Attack, and the Alapin with 2.c3. The first two begin with 2.Nc3; the Alapin prepares a pawn-supported d4 center. Choose a set before learning or quizzing so each shared position has one expected answer.
