Reader Reviews:
A great introductory guide to the sicilian defence (1/1 people found this helpful)
This book is a great introductory guide to the sicilian defence. It covers well known systems such as The Dragon, The Najdorf, The Scheveningen, The Classical, Open Sicilians, Bb5 Systems, and the c3 Sicilian not to mention, Other Systems.
What make this book interesting is that the sicilian is played from both the Black and the White perspective. There are plenty of illustrative games provided throughout each chapter seeing both Black and White win.
In terms of variations for the sicilian, there are probably more in this book than I have found in any other so far. This is definitely a good general guide packed full of ideas for both sides and is very clear on strategies.
