The Sicilian Defence, played for the first time in the sixteenth century in Italy , is characterized by the moves: 1.e4 c5
already mentioned in the Treaty of Lucena in Gottingen manuscript, in Polerio and Joachim Greek . The sequence of moves that characterize it is stated in the Treaty of Pietro Carrera, a prolific writer of Sicilian Seicento . For more than two centuries, the "Sicilian defense" remained neglected, until Janish and Staunton expressed themselves very favorably about him.
However, the official appearance of this opening, with its accompanying results can testify to its validity, dates back to 1870 , when the German Paulsen, one of the major players of the time, devised a system of development, still considered perfectly valid. It is part of

Black, with his first move, so now fighting for the center, and in particular for the home d4, but pushing the pawn 'c' create a position that usually leads to unbalanced positions in general complex where White has the initiative on the side of the King (the e4 pawn looks to the side of King), while Black up to woman, and in particular on the column where the half-open c pawn on this column was changed to that of the central White (as in variants of the open Sicilian ).
Today's explosion of Sicilian Defence is comparable to the spread that had the English Match in the early 1900s. Currently it is played against the best answer 1. e4 at all levels. It is not surprising therefore that its extension theory is huge with tens of thousands of variants. Adopt
in its repertoire the Sicilian Defence constitutes acceptance of a game sharp, potentially facing the fight without compromise.
