The Modernized O'Kelly Sicilian: A Complete Repertoire for Black

The O'Kelly Sicilian is a provocative and underexplored sideline that has been gaining traction at the highest levels, with strong GMs like Vladislav Artemiev scoring impressive results in rapid and online events.

In The Modernized O'Kelly Sicilian, Jan Boekelman constructs a complete and playable Black repertoire from this somewhat offbeat starting point. He provides deep coverage of both the 3.c3 and 3.c4 variations — the two critical tests White has available — and gives Black the tools to navigate the resulting positions with confidence.

• A complete Black repertoire from a surprise weapon
• Deep coverage of 3.c3 and 3.c4
• Practical, well-tested analysis
• Follow the footsteps of GM Vladislav Artemiev
