Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Dunne Attack
Overview
Sicilian Defense: Lasker-Dunne Attack is a specific line in the Semi-Open Games family (ECO B20), arising from a recognised theoretical position.
The Semi-Open Games group covers semi-open games — replies to 1.e4 where Black declines the symmetrical 1…e5 in favour of an asymmetric pawn structure.
It begins with 3 plies and takes 1. e4 c5 2. g3 to reach the canonical position.
The line refines Sicilian Defense, which traces back to the root opening King's Pawn Game.
