Grandmaster Repertoire 6A – Beating the Anti-Sicilians The Sicilian Defence is the most combative way to meet 1.e4, but Black’s hopes of reaching his favourite Dragon, Najdorf or Sveshnikov

are often quashed at an early stage. In Grandmaster Repertoire 6A – Beating the Anti-Sicilians, grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias provides full coverage against White’s many attempts

to steer the game away from Open Sicilian territory.

Vassilios Kotronias

Beginning with sidelines on move 2, and extending all the way to variations tested at World Championship level, the author provides expert recommendations against all White’s sensible

deviations (as well as some not-so-sensible ones!) with specific advice tailored for 2…d6, 2…e6 and 2…Nc6 players.

Beating the Anti-Sicilians

Be it tackling Wing and Morra Gambits head first, outmanoeuvring 2.c3 and Closed aficionados, bashing 3.Bb5† or ruining the Rossolimo, this book contains everything you need to make your

opponents wish they had played 2.Nf3 and 3.d4!

 

Vassilios Kotronias is an experienced grandmaster and ten-time Greek Champion. A Sicilian expert, he is feared for his profound opening preparation.

Grandmaster Repertoire 6A – Beating

Beating the Anti-Sicilians is a repertoire book for Black which is especially recommendable for correspondence chess players and for club players at a higher level. The repertoire provides Black

with lines if White avoids the Open Sicilian. It not only covers proven lines but also unknown variations and novelties in several cases.

“As a reference book for game preparation I find it very successful.”
