The Sicilian Defence is by far the most popular chess opening. If
you play 1 e4 as White, on average you are likely to meet the
Sicilian in virtually every other game! You need to be prepared to
face the Sicilian at all times, and a ready-to-use repertoire
against it is an indispensible weapon.In this book, Gawain Jones
confronts the challenge of meeting the Sicilian head on. He has
constructed a comprehensive Anti-Sicilian repertoire for White,
which is based on lines he has successfully employed at grandmaster
level. These are sound, reliable options for White, but don't be
fooled - they also contain more than a drop of poison. Variations
covered include the popular King's Indian Attack, various Bb5
systems and weapons against Black's offbeat tries.

fighting the Sicilian. It leads to a sharp, complex battle from the
very beginning, and White's play is characterized by its lightning
attacks against the black king. The opening became a powerful

where victory is everything and draws are not enough. It steadily
became more popular and even gained the seal of approval from some

Short and Michael Adams, who have both utilized it with success. In
