Sicilian defence moves

Sicilian defence moves-This move is a specialization at beginning of the game, varying widely in character from quiet positional play to very aggressive. This move comprises of following stages;

Ø Development: To place the bishops and knights on useful squares where they will have an optimal impact on the game.

Ø Control of the center: Control of the central squares allows pieces to be moved to any part of the board relatively easily, and can also have a cramping effect on the opponent.

Ø King safety: Keeping the King safe from dangerous possibilities. A correct timing for castling can often enhance this.

Ø Pawn structure: Players often avoid the pawn weaknesses such as isolated, doubled or backward pawns, and pawn islands – and to force such weaknesses in the opponent's position.
