Sicilian Defense: Prins VariationBETA
The Prins variation is an interesting alternative to the main lines that occur after Nc3. Rather than play actively for a kingside attack, white attempts to build up a Maroczy bind setup with c4 and e4 to clamping down on the d5 break. Black can choose to either play energetically and break down this bind immediately, or play solidly and accept the bind under reasonably favorable circumstances.
