[1542]

2011, 440 Seiten, kartoniert, englisch

The Sicilian Defense, 1.e4 c5, is one of the popular chess openings.
In this book several chess grandmasters present state-of-the-art analysis of lines where White meets the Sicilian by avoiding the Open variations.

The editors,  2007 British Champion GM Jacob Aagaard and three-time Scottish Champion GM John Shaw, have recruited a line-up of strong chess grandmasters to share their expert opinions both on how to play the Sicilian Defense and how to play against it.
