Sicilian Defense: Sozin Attack
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Sozin Attack is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B86.
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 11 plies — specifically the moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Bc4.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Sicilian Defense: Scheveningen Variation, part of the broader King's Pawn Game system.
Use the board to walk through every move, check how the position has scored on Lichess, or take it head-to-head against Stockfish.
