Moscow Variation

The modern anti-Sicilian against 2...d6, where White plays 3.Bb5+ to disrupt Black's normal development. After ...Bd7, White trades bishops and steers the game into a calmer, slightly better structure. Hugely popular at top level as a practical way to avoid the enormous theory of the Najdorf and Dragon.
