40. Paulsen Defence in Sicilian Defence

Paulsen Defence Sub Group (B01.302.SI – B01.315.SI) is a flexible and resilient setup within the Sicilian Defence.
It starts with 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6, allowing Black to delay early pawn commitments and maintain structural balance.
The Paulsen structure often leads to rich positional struggles and dynamic pawn breaks.
This MICOS Sub Group captures the essential ideas and move orders of the Paulsen Defence.
