Former US Open Champion Timothy Taylor presents a repertoire for White against the most popular opening in chess the Sicilian Defence. Taylors repertoire is based first and foremost on the Open Sicilian, which is regarded as Whites most ambitious and challenging response to the Sicilian. He focuses on the classical Be2 lines, which were popularized by the success of former World Champion and chess legend Anatoly Karpov. These lines are easy to learn and generally lead to solid positional play, but with a drop of poison. Taylor covers what to do against all the Sicilian variations. He examines the most important games, studies in depth the main plans and tactics for both sides, and highlights the key practical issues. Read this book and you will be ready to slay the Sicilian!
