Product Details
Overview
This opening manual completes the Black repertoire against the Sicilian that uses the Kalashnikov as the main line. When possible, Black will opt for the adventurous moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 e5, covered in the book King's Kalashnikov. But if you play 1... c5 you must be ready for all those lines where White declines to play an Open Sicilian. In this volume King provides you with a repertoire against the so-called Anti-Sicilians, including the Rossolimo, the Alapin and the Grand Prix Attack. Other less frequently played variations such as the Morra and the Wing Gambit, are covered as well.
Grandmaster Daniel King has played the Sicilian for over forty years and his clear explanations and practical approach will help you achieve your own successes. Additionally, there is a selection of annotated model games by grandmasters such as Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri, as well as King himself, which demonstrate how the recommendations are applied in real games.
The two volumes provide a compact and versatile repertoire for Black, focusing on the most important lines, and always aiming for dynamic middlegame play.
