Description
This a completely new edition, developed and extended from the original 2009 publication. Involves important changes in the basic framework of the repertoire and gives lots of new ideas and hundreds of novelties.
The Sicilian Defence is the most famous played chess opening, both at club level as well as between top grandmasters. Since Black gets dynamic play in almost all variations, Black players of all levels will probably carry on to play the Sicilian for a long time to come.
It has been hard for White to obtain any advantage in Sicilian sidelines, and this book therefore presents a complete repertoire for White in the most important main lines: the Open Sicilians with 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3. Each variation is presented with its main ideas, its typical tactics and strategies, and with instructive games. The authors always summarize the most important features.
