Sicilian Defense: Velimirovic Attack
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Velimirovic Attack is a named branch in the Semi-Open Games group of chess theory, classified under ECO B89.
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 15 plies and takes 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 d6 6. Bc4 e6 7. Be3 Be7 8. Qe2 to reach the canonical position.
In the opening tree, this line branches off from Sicilian Defense: Sozin Attack, Main Line, 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.
