The O'Kelly variation of the Sicilian Defence (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 a6) is
a wonderful system for those who enjoy playing Sicilian positions
but don't want to get bogged down in heavy theory. The O'Kelly
relies far more on an understanding of general strategic ideas and
middlegame planning than on rote memorisation of opening moves. One
of the benefits of the O'Kelly is that White's natural continuation
of 3 d4, although very frequently played, permits Black confortable
development and an easy game. In Play the O'Kelly Sicilian, highly
experienced chess author and coach Andrew Martin guides the reader
through the complexities of the O'Kelly and carves out a repertoire
for Black. He examines all aspects of this fascinating opening and
provides the reader with well-researched, fresh, and innovative
analysis. Each annotated game has valuable lessons on how to play
the opening and contains instructive commentary on typical
middlegame plans. * A complete repertoire for Black against 1 e4. *
All key variations analysed in detail.
