The Grand Prix Attack: Essentials (White Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A White repertoire built around the Grand Prix Attack against the Sicilian Defence (1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4, or move orders transposing into it). Covers the structures a student needs to actually understand the system: the main line vs ...g6 with the characteristic Bb5 trade, the central ...d5 break after an early ...e6, the Bc4 plan and the thematic f5 break against the delayed ...d6 move-order, and the sharp, forcing sequence that follows Black's immediate 3...e5 counter-strike. Every line and sideline stays within White's first 10 moves.
