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.A
