Rossolimo Sicilian 4…e6 – Full Repertoire

This section covers the Rosolimo lines after 3…g6 when White chooses 4.Bxc6. We go through the two main setups: 5.b3 and 5.d3. Both of these moves steer the game into quieter, more strategic waters compared to the sharper d4 lines. With 5.b3, White is aiming for a fianchetto and long-term pressure on the dark squares, while 5.d3 keeps the structure solid and flexible, preparing c3 and central expansion later. These options are practical weapons if you want to avoid the heavy theory of the mainline and still put Black under pressure.
