In the Anti-Sicilian Nc3, you will face 2…e6 from players who play openings like the Taimanov and the Kann against the Open Sicilian.

Also, the logic behind 2...e6 is simple to understand. Black wants to grab the center with …d5 and meet exd5 with exd5.

After months of research and testing the lines with engines, our Grandmasters found the most dangerous way to play against it begins with 3.f4 – The Grand Prix Attack...
