A Modern Sicilian That Checks All the Boxes
Are you exhausted with the complexities of the Najdorf? Looking for a more solid option than the Dragon? Or maybe you’re just starting out with the Sicilian and looking for a solid variation to play?
Grandmaster Alex Colovic brings you a Sicilian that checks all the boxes and more:
The Modern Scheveningen.
Lightning-fast development ✅
Central domination ✅
Flexible pawn structure ✅
Super piece activity and attacking possibilities ✅
Safety and counterattacks against White’s plans ✅
Once thought to be outdated due to White’s challenging Keres Attack (6.g4), the Classical Scheveningen fell out of favor in top play. But opening experts like GM Colovic have rebuilt it to be
better, stronger, and faster than ever before. Even the great
Garry Kasparov was working on a Scheveningen “secret weapon” just before his retirement!
In fact, GM Colovic has launched a
course on it with
200+ trainable variations that will arm you with a reliable Sicilian weapon for years to come. He’s done it superbly with his course on the Najdorf, and now the veteran Chessable author and Sicilian expert injects fresh attacking ideas into the Scheveningen and prepares you for anything White can throw at you. Keres Attack, English Attack, Fischer-Sozin Attack, you name it -
it’s covered!Now you can try out the Modern Scheveningen for
free in this
20-line Short & Sweet course and see the awesome power of this modernized approach for yourself. And if you like what you see, be sure to check out the
main course, where you can refine your Sicilian play to top level with this cutting-edge variation.
