Tame Black's most dangerous opening with this flexible Open Sicilian repertoire for White
Dear busy yet driven 1.e4 player,
If you believe in principled chess and LOVE to play for the win, then the Open Sicilian is your best reply against 1...c5.
And therein lies the problem.
When you play the Open Sicilian, you need to be ready for the combative, unbalanced, and highly tactical play that ensues. Worse, Black also has over a dozen main lines and sidelines in their back-pocket. Each demanding thorough preparation.
The opening can be a theoretical nightmare for time-strapped club players, like you and me.
But that's why NM mn79's opening trainer is a god-send.
Inside this Open Sicilian course, you will learn to grab the initiative and fight for the advantage...minus the nerve-racking "do or die" attacks.
The Complete Open Sicilian for White Vol. 1
Chessable author mn79 is a young and energetic master, who fearlessly plays the Open Sicilian against anyone. Even 2500+ GMs.
His bold and principled approach led to resounding upsets against players rated up to 300+ points higher. And he shares his winning formula, analysis, and novelties inside The Complete Open Sicilian for White Vol. 1.
We follow a flexible and straightforward plan that develops the bishops to e3 and e2...while wisely holding back from castling until Black reveals his hand.
The result is a repertoire that dodges Black's counter-play; builds up our advantage through good positional chess; AND still offers plenty of chances to WIN the game with a direct attack.
Here's what you'll learn inside:
✔️ Over 200 trainable variations that challenge the Taimanov, Kan, Accelerated Dragon, Scheveningen, Four Knights Sicilian, Kalashnikov, and Black's second-move sidelines.
✔️ A Quickstarter chapter with the 24 must-know variations. Learn these lines in under two hours, and be ready to play your first Open Sicilian game.
✔️ Bully Black into a queenless middlegame where you have more space, strong advanced pawns, and active pieces.
✔️ How to win against the Kan as early as move 9. The variation examined here is played ALL the time in online chess...by players rated 2000+ no less!
✔️ Precise exchanges that snuff out Black's typical Sicilian counter-attack...giving us the easier-to-play position and a persisting advantage.
✔️ A simpler way to play the Maroczy bind. Black is left cramped, without his usual counter-play. Meanwhile, you get rid of your "problem piece," leaving you with a favorable minor piece match-up.
✔️ Prophylactic moves that neutralize the opponent's aggressive ideas before he even sees them. So you can build up your attack smoothly and without delay.
✔️ Little-known idea against the Accelerated Dragon that cuts across Black's plans. If Black plays like in the main lines (and many of them will), you're guaranteed a sizeable edge.
✔️ And of course, you will also see in action the thematic pawns and piece sacrifices in the Open Sicilian. From bayonet-like e-pawn thrusts to piece sacrifices on d5.
The Complete Open Sicilian for White Vol. 1 is the first in a two-part series. And if you want to set the toughest problems for Black...and maximize your winning chances against 1...c5, this opening course is your ideal starting point.
