Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 vs The Sicilian II

Descripción

Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 vs The Sicilian II The third volume of the Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4 series tackles many challenging Sicilian lines – the Dragons, Rauzer, Sveshnikov and Kalashnikov. Building on a foundation of critical main lines, Negi reveals an arsenal of new ideas, making this an essential addition to the library of every ambitious player.

The Sicilian II

Parimarjan Negi is a former child prodigy who is the second-youngest player of all time to obtain the Grandmaster title. He was Asian Champion in 2012, and played on Board 1 for the Indian team which won bronze medals at the Tromsø 2014 Olympiad.

Reviews of the previous volumes:

“It’s so good! It shows everything that you need to produce world-class preparation… Negi’s book is absolutely stunning. My jaw kept dropping at the attacking ideas that Negi exposes in this book.”
GM Matthew Sadler, New in Chess

Parimarjan Negi

“Every now and then, every once-in-a-FIDE-cycle, a book comes along that seriously impresses me. And recently, I received another of these rare, pleasant shocks. Indian GM Parimarjan Negi’s first book of his 1.e4 repertoire series is a real stand-out, an excellent piece of chess authorship.”
GM David Smerdon

Another instalment of Parimarjan Negi’s continuing quest to make all opening books for Black against 1.e4 obsolete.

Grandmaster Repertoire – 1.e4

Negi is actually a godsend for a book reviewer because I can more or less repeat what I said in my previous columns! Once again this is a work of the very highest quality. I’m not a lifelong Open Sicilian player so I sometimes feel a little insecure judging the quality of the analysis. I tend to compare the lines Negi suggests with other books I’ve read recently to see whether he addresses their recommendations. He rarely fails me!.
