Description
The Sicilian Defence is one of the most popular and sharpest replies to 1.e4. After 1.e4 c5, an exciting, unbalanced position is guaranteed — one where Black can play for a win from the very first move. The Open Sicilian covers all variations where White plays an early d2-d4, leading to the rich, complex positions that have defined modern chess.
In this Fritz Trainer course, IM Andrew Martin introduces you to this exciting world so you can begin playing the Sicilian in your own games. The main themes and ideas of the Open Sicilian are discussed, followed by a clear summary of all the accepted main lines — giving you the knowledge to choose which variation suits your style.
