	OPENING FOR WHITE ACCORDING TO ANAND: VOL. 8(CODE x8253) Alexander Khalifman Volume 8 in this popular series begins to examine the Sicilian Defence and proposes a repertoire for White based on the praxis of top Indian GM Vishy Anand. Systems considered here are the Nimzowitsch Sicilian (1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3,Nf6;) The O'Kelly Variation (1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3,a6;) various counter-attack lines which Black can play after 2..e6; (e.g. the pin variation) and the Paulsen-Kan System which occupies the main part of the book. Recommended lines include 3.Nc3 against the Nimzowitsch System, 3.c3 against the O'Kelly and 5.Bd3 against the Kan-Paulsen System. As usual for this series former World Champion Alexander Khalifman offers high quality analysis and explanation with theoretical conclusions at the end of each chapter. Pub. 2006, softback, 320 pages.

	SICILIAN KAN(CODE p4302) John Emms The Sicilian Kan arises after 1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3,e6; 3.d4,cxd4; 4.Nxd4,a6; and this book offers a complete survey of current theory via 75 annotated key games in three major sections: 5.Bd3, 5.Nc3 and 5.c4. These games demonstrate the positional and tactical possibilities available and each chapter has a useful summary of the best lines and ideas for both sides. The Kan is a flexible system and often quite confusing for White to meet since so many transpositions are possible. It also rules out the currently popular 3.Bb5 systems. If you want a tricky defence to 1.e4 this could be the one for you! John Emms is an English Grandmaster. Pub. 2002, softback, 190 pages.

With this in mind, the emphasis is on explaining typical plans and strategies in the context of 25 extensively annotated, high level, key games.

The material is divided into six chapters: 1) Probing Bishop and Maroczy Bind Variations 5.Nb5, 2) Taimanov Introduction 5.Nc3, a6; 3) White's Sixth Move Alternatives 5.Nc3,Qc7; 4) Flexible Variation 5.Nc3,Qc7; 6.Be2, 5) Sharp Variation 5.Nc3,Qc7; 6.Be3, 6) Paulsen Main Line 5.Nc3,Qc7; 6.Be3,a6; 7.Be2. Chapter introductions and conclusions emphasise the key points of each system. James Rizzitano is an American I.M. and author with extensive experience playing the Taimanov Sicilian.
