For the aggressive 1.e4 player...How To Turn Up The Heat
And Press For The Win Against 1...c5 - The Smart Way!
If you love uncompromising chess and the prospect of winning against 1...c5 excites you, then the Open Sicilian is the opening to play.
"But isn't that too theoretical for club players?"You're right on the money!
However, that doesn't mean we can't use smart shortcuts to keep things simpler for us - and extremely dangerous for the opponent. This is where Chessable author
National Master mn79 comes to the rescue with a complete open Sicilian repertoire. After having dealt with Kan, Taimanov and Hyperaccelerated Dragon
in the previous edition, inside
The Complete Open Siclian Vol. II, mn79 shows you how to deal
with variations arising after 2…d6!.
A Sicilian Repertoire For White
That Goes Beyond The Moves
In
174 trainable variations, you will learn how to turn an advantage in development and central control into a raging initiative against:
💥 The Classical (5...Nc6)
💥 Dragon (5...g6)
💥 And Najdorf Variations (5...a6)To make the lines easier to learn, NM mn79 chose similar development plans when possible.
Against the Classical and the Dragon Sicilian, NM mn79 recommends set-ups with Be3, Qd2, and f3 followed by a kingside pawn storm.
Against the Najdorf, he opts for strategic, aggressive, and less theoretical Be2 and f2-f4. 12th World Champion Anatoly Karpov loves the rather risk-free play he gets from this line - and you just might, too.
NM mn79's smart selection of variations keeps the theory as manageable as it can get. Plus, thanks to the
Quickstarter guide with 19 core lines, you can start playing the Open Sicilian in as little as an hour.
But beyond variations and move orders,
The Complete Open Sicilian Vol. II also teaches you the art of dynamic play (an indispensable skill in modern chess).
Here are some of the exciting stuff you'll learn inside the course:
💥
Aggressive prophylactic moves that eliminate potential counterplay, allowing you to pounce on Black's position like a crazed bulldog.
💥
Bizarre but super-effective ways to stop Black's queenside attack, while keeping their pieces in a tangle. NM mn79 patiently explain these non-standard, engine-approved ideas. So you can play them with complete confidence.
💥
Easy-to-remember guidelines that leave you with better pieces and keep your attack burning - even after the exchanges.
💥
Know when to crank up your play to the third gear - and when to slow down and build up your game. It all depends on subtle changes in the position, and NM mn79 breaks them down for you.
💥
Classy waiting moves that maximize your positional gains. So when you finally break open the position, your pieces explode into action. (After which, Black must tread accurately to survive.)
...And plenty of
instructive positional and tactical themes, which you can use in other openings.
This course is the final part of NM mn79's two-part repertoire versus the Sicilian. If you want to set the toughest problems for Black and generate winning opportunities after 1...c5, right here is your ideal starting point.
