The Lazy Man's Sicilian: Attack and Surprise White
The Basman-Sale Variation is a relatively unexplored weapon for
Black in the Sicilian Defence. After the perfectly normal moves 1.e4 c5,
2. Nf3 e6, 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Black lashes out with 4…Bc5! English IM
Michael Basman and Croatian IM Srdjan Sale were the pioneers of this
cunning chess opening system. The advantages are clear: it is
surprising, aggressive and easy to learn. Compared to the complexity of
mainstream Sicilian variations it requires little theoretical
preparation, while you don't run excessive risks. That is why The Lazy
Man's Sicilian is ideal for club players who don't have much time to
study opening theory (or are not too fond of hard work anyway). This
easily accessible and up-to-date book offers everything you need to get
started with the Basman-Sale Variation. In well-organized chapters it
describes the history and underlying ideas of the variation and explains
the pawn-structures, the strategies and the tactical themes. What's
more, if you play the Basman-Sale system, there is plenty of room for
your own creativity as well!
