The Sicilian Scheveningen: Essentials (White Repertoire)

By Theo van Stratum

A White repertoire against the Sicilian Scheveningen (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6), one of the most solid and flexible ways Black can meet 1.e4. Covers the modern main try, the English Attack (6.Be3) with opposite-side castling and mutual pawn storms; the quieter Classical Variation (6.Be2) with f4; the aggressive Keres Attack (6.g4), aimed straight at Black's kingside before it can castle; and the 6.f4 treatment.
