4...a6 · Kan Sicilian

[edit | edit source]

The Kan is a highly dynamic opening. Black intends to put their pawns on light squares and control the dark squares with their pieces. For now they take a "wait-and-see" approach, developing only after White has committed their pieces.

5. Bd3
5. Nc3
5. c4: Sicilian, Kan, Maroczy bind (Reti variation)
