Maroczy Defense 7/5/2024

The Maroczy Defense is a chess opening that arises from the Sicilian Defense. It is named after the Hungarian Grandmaster Géza Maróczy. The typical setup is known for its pawn structure, which creates a strong and flexible position for White, but the term “Maroczy Defense“ is not commonly used. Instead, it’s usually referred to as the Maroczy Bind when discussing this pawn structure.
