Calling Sicilian players - this is for YOU!
Let's be clear, as a Sicilian player you don't get the game you want nearly enough.
The main reason is: there just are too many chickens out there who try to shut you down with Anti-Sicilians. Either that or they want to launch gung-ho systems like the Grand Prix Attack.GM Alex Colovic's
Break Down Anti-Sicilians is here to remedy both problems and offer the ideal bolt-on course to really hit back hard at Black. Not only that, he guarantees against transpositions to an unfavorable open Sicilian.
Be fully-equipped against the party poopers!
In this extensive new repertoire, our Macedonian Grandmaster aims to counter all White's attempts to blunt your game and present an alternative that ensures you won't be tricked by a move-order transposition.
REMEMBER, that is a key danger when facing Anti-Sicilians: finding yourself back in an open Sicilian, not of your choice. It is an all-too-easy trap to fall into.
Along with The Najdorf Sicilian: Simplified, this repertoire completes GM Colovic's full repertoire against 1.e4
Break Down Anti-Sicilians is suitable for ALL Sicilian players up to move 2. Anything White tries is covered. But please note:
after 2. Nf3 d6 is on the board you need to be either a Najdorf, Scheveningen, Dragon or Rauzer/Classical Sicilian player.
It is everything you need to know as a 1...c5 player aside from the Sicilian itself and sits harmoniously with GM Colovic's
The Najdorf Sicilian: Simplified. Together they form a complete repertoire against 1.e4.
The Anti-Sicilians are a wide array of variations that offer various types of play to White.
Some of these systems have become increasingly complex with mountains of theory that rival even the open Sicilians.
White can play calmly, as in the
Moscow or go for a sharp attack like the
Grand Prix. There are also among others the
Alapin, the
Closed Sicilian and the
Morra Gambit.
Each has its own challenges and little tricks and transpositions to be aware of.
This course will teach you to:
🔵 Dodge White's transpositional tricks;
🔵 Tackle all deviations on the way to the open Sicilian;
🔵 Learn to understand positions, not memorize lines;
🔵 Equip yourself for independent play with middlegame plans;
🔵 Play lines inspired by new theory from Magnus Carlsen.As Anti-Sicilians get more and more popular, having a plan against them is becoming an increasingly vital part of a 1...c5 player's preparation.
Be honest, how often do you play the Sicilian you really want? It doesn't always happen so be prepped for everything else.
