Sicilian Defense: Chekhover Variation
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Chekhover Variation is a variation within the Semi-Open Games family, indexed as ECO B53.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
The line arises from 7 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4.
It is a variation of Sicilian Defense, which itself descends from the root opening King's Pawn Game.
It continues primarily into one named line, Zaitsev Defense.
