The Sicilian Classical: Essentials (Black Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A Black repertoire built around the Sicilian Classical Variation (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6). Covers how to meet the historically vital Richter-Rauzer Attack (6.Bg5), how to play the Boleslavsky Variation against 6.Be2 (6...e5), and how to meet a Sozin-style 6.Bc4 and the calm Fianchetto treatment (6.g3).
