I like positional games, and the Sicilian defence is very dynamic, however the B42 Sicilian defence is quite positional, but the pawn structure has some weaknesses. I would like to learn more about the B42 pawn structure and the name, or where to seek more information on the B42 Sicilian pawn structure.

    Why don't you describe this Sicilian Pawn structure with a diagram? I was familiar with Chess Informant / Openings Encyclopedia terminology some 30 years ago, but nowadays I hardly remember it. Not everyone knows it by heart.

  • As a start, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… It does not mention B42 (Kan Sicilian) explicitly, but most everything should apply.
