Fritz Trainer: Flexible Taimanov Sicilian w/Robert Ris

The Taimanov Sicilian. Rock-Solid. Flexible. Built to Win Without Unnecessary Risk.

Looking for a realistic way to play for a win with Black against 1.e4 without taking unnecessary risks? The Taimanov Sicilian — 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6 — is one of the best options available. IM Robert Ris delivers a complete Black repertoire covering the full Open Sicilian.

Unlike many Sicilian variations, the Taimanov doesn't require memorizing long forced lines just to maintain the balance. The goal is a playable, solid position out of the opening — and then outplaying the opponent in the long run. White players trying for a quick attack will find Black's position impregnable.
