The Kan is an ideal choice as an opening weapon against 1 e4, as it
is one of the easiest variations of the Sicilian to learn and play.
This is because, unlike some variations of the Sicilian, you don't
need to memorize loads of opening theory in order to be successful.
The Kan is relatively theory free in the traditional sense, and
success is more likely to occur through the understanding of
development systems and a deep study of the tactical and positional
ideas for both sides.In this book Johan Hellsten draws upon his
vast experience in the Sicilian Kan, revealing his secrets and
showing how Black can adopt this opening and play it with
confidence. He provides the reader with a dependable repertoire,
demonstrating what to do in the main lines as well as how to deal
with White's tricky alternatives. *Detailed coverage of an
easy-to-play Sicilian*Includes answers to all of White's main
options*Written by a renowned Kan expert Johan Hellsten is a
Grandmaster and a former Swedish Champion who has represented his
country in numerous Olympiads and team tournaments. He has enjoyed
many tournament successes and has won individual gold and bronze
medals at the European Team Championships. He is currently employed
as the chess teacher at the Universidad de Tarapaca in Arica,
Chile. This is his first book for Everyman Chess.
