How to Beat the Sicilian Defence: An Anti-Sicilian Repertoire for White

The Sicilian Defence is by far the most popular chess opening. If you play 1 e4 as White, on average you are likely to meet the Sicilian in virtually every other game! You need to be prepared to face the Sicilian at all times, and a ready-to-use repertoire against it is an indispensible weapon.

In this book, Gawain Jones confronts the challenge of meeting the Sicilian head on. He has constructed a comprehensive Anti-Sicilian repertoire for White, which is based on lines he has successfully employed at grandmaster level. These are sound, reliable options for White, but dont be fooled - they also contain more than a drop of poison. Variations covered include the popular Kings Indian Attack, various Bb5 systems and weapons against Blacks offbeat tries.
