The Sicilian Defense is a chess move by Black of its Queen's bishop's pawn forward by two spaces ("c5"), typically in response to a White opening of "e4" (King's pawn moved forward by two spaces).
The Sicilian Defense is so successful that its lowers the "e4" opening by white to a rank of #2 behind "d4" in terms of the most successful white openings.
Be careful in using the Sicilian Defense to protect against a quick attack by the whites pieces. As a bit of a flanking maneuver, the Sicilian Defense is an aggressive long-term strategy which has some short-term vulnerabilities.
Statistical Outcomes
White Wins - 37.4%
Draw - 29.7%
Black Wins - 33% (remarkably high)
