The Maroczy structure – named after Hungarian star Geza Maroczy (pictured) – is one of the most popular setups against the Sicilian: White has pawns on e4 and c4 which guarantee a space advantage. Black, on the other hand, has a solid position and good counter-chances, often based on breaking through with …b5 or …d5. Jan Markos takes a closer look at this structure, focusing on the role of the „inconspicuous hero“ of these positions. | Photo: Cuba News
