Sicilian Defense: Grand Prix Attack
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Grand Prix Attack is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B23.
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.
It begins with 5 plies and takes 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. f4 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Sicilian Defense: Closed, Traditional, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
It continues primarily into one named line, Schofman Variation.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
