White plays c3 with the aim of avoiding the classic sicilian lines. as both the closed sicilian and open sicilian have been extensively studied, their use involves a lot of theory to become comfortable with them.

Chess Opening Theory/1. E4/1...c5/2. Nf3/2...d6 - Wikibooks, Open Books For An Open World White solved one problem but now must contend with another: how to develop their knight, whose normal space c3 is now controlled by black's pawn. White usually plays 4.d4 or 4.nf3. if white played 4.bc4, or 4.g3, black is fine after e6 and eventually d6. [1]. With 4. d4, white ignores the attack on the e pawn and counterattacks black's central pawn on e5. black's best move is to choose a central pawn to capture, 4 exd4 or 4 nxe4, though white has ways to recover the pawn. 4 d5 is also playable. The evans gambit is an opening out of the giuoco piano variation of the italian game. the first recorded usage of the gambit is from 1824 when a welsh sea captain with the surname of evans played it in a tournament.

The evans gambit is an opening out of the giuoco piano variation of the italian game. the first recorded usage of the gambit is from 1824 when a welsh sea captain with the surname of evans played it in a tournament. White opens by playing 1.e4, which is the most popular opening move and has many strengths – it immediately stakes a claim in the center, and frees two pieces (the queen and king's bishop) for action. the oldest openings in chess follow 1.e4. bobby fischer wrote that 1.e4 is "best by test.". This move continues development for black. it puts pressure on the e pawn, and aims to protect the d5 square. this variation is marginally preferred to the 2 d5 response, and is statistically a better win rate for black (as per chessbase.com). After 1.d4, the center stays closed, there is less contact between the pieces and this leads many times to long strategic battles. one thing you have to be prepared for if you decide to open the game with 1.e4 is the theory you will need to learn. In chess the open systems are all openings which begin with the moves 1.e2 e4 e7 e5. characterising them as open is historical in nature and not to be taken literally. for example, the main variation of the ruy lopez can lead to closed positions with a blocked centre.
