PLAY 2..Nf6! IN THE SICILIAN

 

Ref: a3116

Price: £20.65

Quantity:

Grigory Bogdanovich
This system (1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3,Nf6;) was first played by Nimzowitsch in 1911but remains obscure to this day with few devotees and very little literature on the subject. International Master Grigory Bogdanovich has been playing the 2..Nf6 Sicilian for 30 years and has distilled his experience of the opening into this manual.
Using a combination of analysis, explanation and key games he offers an objective evaluation of the 2..Nf6 Sicilian. Part one of his book considers lines where White does not play 3.e5. Part two examines the tricky 3.e5, Nd5; 4.d4 system as well as Larsen's 3.e5,Nd5; 4.Nc3, e6; defence. Part three looks at the key line 3.e5,Nd5; 4.Nc3,Nxc3; whilst the concluding chapters explain how to link the opening to the middlegame and how to handle the typical pawn structures. A chapter of annotated reference games ends the book.

DISMANTLING THE SICILIAN

 

Ref: n1294

Price: £20.85

Quantity:

Jesus de la Villa
This book offers a repertoire for White against the Sicilian Defence with 1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3, and 3.d4. The author recommends meeting main line Sicilians (e.g.Najdorf, Scheveningen, Dragon etc) with main line attacks as these are most likely to offer an advantage. Secondary defences, usually your opponent's pet system, are met with secondary attacks, so the element of surprise remains on your side and unsound variations are met with the refutation!
Grandmaster and twice Spanish Champion Jesus de la Villa uses a combination of analysis, explanation, complete games and chapter summaries to provide a comprehensive and well laid out repertoire for White against one of the most popular Black defences. Each variation is clearly organized with its history, ideas, statistics, examples of tactics and strategies, and instructive games.
Pub. 2009, softback, 336 pages.

NEW SICILIAN DRAGON

Quantity:

Simon Williams
Grandmaster and Sicilian Dragon expert Simon Williams recommends a new way of playing this famous opening. Concentrating on his favourite Dragadorf Variation, (1.e4,c5; 2.Nf3,d6; 3.d4,cxd4; 4.Nxd4,Nf6; 5.Nc3,g6; 6.Be3,Bg7; 7.f3,a6!?) Williams constructs a cutting-edge repertoire for Black, one which is ideal for the modern Dragon player. In the introduction Williams explains the key tactical and positional ideas for both players and highlights crucial themes such as the importance of move orders. The main chapters contain 62 fully annotated, illustrative games which show Black's ideas in action against all of White's main attacking options, including the Rauzer and Classical systems. Williams also devotes a chapter to the Accelerated Dragadorf (6..a6!?) which is an interesting and little-explored alternative to the standard Dragadorf. This revolutionary repertoire book is packed with exciting games and original analysis.
Simon Williams is an English Grandmaster who is acclaimed for his dynamic and spontaneous attacking style. He has represented his country at both junior and senior level, and has enjoyed numerous tournament successes.
