<DIV><P class=MsoNormal>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.</P><P class=MsoNormal>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.</P><UL><LI><DIV>A Grandmaster's repertoire against the Sicilian</DIV></LI><LI><DIV>Packed with new ideas and critical analysis</DIV></LI><LI><DIV>Highlights key tactical and positional ideas</DIV></LI></UL></DIV>
