The Sicilian Chekhover Variation is a chess opening named after its most famous practicioner Vitaly Chekhover. [Vitaly Chekhover] Although the Chekhover Variation is rarely played in grandmaster games, it is actually not uncommon among amateurs. [Commoness among amateurs] On move four white ignores the standard opening advice to not move the queen out early in the game (as it may become a target in the center). The move order goes 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Qxd4?! [Sicilian ECO: B53 ]

Responses for Black

*4...Nc6 - The most popular response
**5. Bb5 - Pinning the knight: 5...Bd7 6. Bxc6 Bxc6
**5. Qa4?! - Avoiding an exchange and keeping the light squared bishop
*4...a6 - Preventing a future pin: 5. c4 Nc6 6. Qd1
*4...Bd7 - Preparing for 5...Nc6
*4...Nf6 - Avoiding exchanges and continuing development
