Have you always wanted to play the Sicilian as Black, but been discouraged by the abundance of options for White? Here is the solution to becoming a lifelong successful Sicilian player! In a separate course, all the critical lines of the Open Sicilian (Taimanov Variation) were covered.

In this course, all the relevant Anti-Sicilians are covered in depth. Starting with the move-order 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6, White has been prevented from playing a variation with 3.Bb5. Popular alternatives on move 3 are tackled first (3.b3, 3.g3, Kings-Indian Attack etc.). On the second move, White has many more options to deviate from the Main Lines, but since White often has the opportunity to transpose back to the Open Variation, it’s strongly recommended to study both volumes. The lines arising from the Closed Sicilian Variation with 2.Nc3 and the Alapin (with 2.c3 or 2.Nf3 e6 3.c3) are effectively countered as well, to avoid any move-order problems. Last, but not least, popular systems at club level, e.g. the Smith-Morra and Wing Gambit should no longer be feared! The video course has been complemented with 24 exercises to test both your theoretical and practical knowledge, 10 positions to play out to develop a better feeling for these types of positions, as well as a database with over 230 model games.
