The Bishop to b5 Sicilian by Richard Palliser

The Bb5 Sicilian — covering both the Rossolimo (3.Bb5) and Moscow (3.Bb5+) Variations — has become one of the most popular and respected Anti-Sicilian systems, employed successfully by elite grandmasters including Vishy Anand, Mickey Adams, Peter Leko, and Garry Kasparov in his famous Internet game versus 'the rest of the world'.

In this comprehensive study, Richard Palliser examines both the crucial main lines and the more unusual tries for White and Black, using illustrative games to highlight tactical and positional ideas as well as important move-order nuances. A study of this book will allow the reader to play both sides of this opening with confidence.
