Description
The Sicilian is Black's most dynamic, asymmetrical reply to 1. e4. It produces the psychological and tension factors which denote the best in modern play and gives notice of a fierce fight on the very first move.
The Sicilian Defence became recognised as the defence that offered Black the most winning chances against 1.e4.
Great players like Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov favoured sharp, aggressive play and employed the Sicilian Defence almost exclusively throughout their careers, effectively dismantling White attacks.
The Anti-Sicilian Bible provides you with a variety of weapons to counter White's set-ups in the best and most dynamic ways possible.
The material provided is up-to-date as of May 2022.
