White sacrifices a wing pawn with 2.b4, deflecting Black's c-pawn and aiming to build a strong central duo with c3 and d4. A surprise weapon that catches unprepared Sicilian players off guard, leading to sharp, open positions where White's central majority and rapid development can compensate for the pawn deficit.
