SICILIAN DEFENCE
(to) Paulsen/Scheveningen Variations

White's P-Q4(d4) challenge supported 4.P-K5, confident of equality in any immediate P exchange.
Black's QBP usually removes White's QP (to stop White gaining space by P-K5) and invites capture so as to gain a 2-to-1 centre pawn majority. Compare to Orthodox and Dragon vars. B-Alt.
