A fresh System for White: 1.e4 c5 2.b3 vs. the Sicilian!

There are a number of good Anti-Sicilian options out there, however I believe the 2.b3 Sicilian to be one of the most overlooked and underrated systems available to White. This modest move came back to the fore as a legitimate Anti-Sicilian weapon when none other than Vladimir Kramnik used it in a few games to frustrate his Sicilian diehard opponents.

In this DVD, I have refined a number of key lines which will bamboozle a lot of Sicilian players who are used to getting their favourite systems on the board and instead will have to think on their feet from the start. This opening is by no means a refutation to the Sicilian, nevertheless this ostensibly harmless move has a more venomous bite than one would suspect and therefore is an excellent addition to any first player’s repertoire.
