About this Item

Thissecond and final volume of the Anti-Sicilian series covers our approach for allalternatives to 2.Nc6. The choice against 2.d6 was obvious. The Moscow variationis the only critical alternative to 3.d4 that has caused any concerns for Black- by developing with a tempo, we force Black to make an immediate decision onmove 3 and wait for the right moment to open the position. Whilst in theRossolimo book we have tried to achieve an objective advantage against every line, our choices in the Moscow were mainly selected by their ability to create practicaldifficulties for the opponent. Naturally, it is not possible to find anadvantage in every variation but we have ensured to add many detailedexplanations to guide plans and aid understanding in the various positionswe'll encounter.

Synopsis

This second and final volume of the Anti-Sicilian series covers our approach for all alternatives to 2…Nc6. The choice against 2…d6 was obvious. The Moscow variation is the only critical alternative to 3.d4 that has caused any concerns for Black – by developing with a tempo, we force Black to make an immediate decision on move 3 and wait for the right moment to open the position. Whilst in the Rossolimo book we have tried to achieve an objective advantage against every line, our choices in the Moscow were mainly selected by their ability to create practical difficulties for the opponent. Naturally, it is not possible to find an advantage in every variation but we have ensured to add many detailed explanations to guide plans and aid understanding in the various positions we’ll encounter
