Dismantling the Sicilian A Complete Modern Repertoire for White Chessable PGN Only

The Sicilian Defense is the most widely played chess opening, both at club level as well as among top grandmasters.

It is an opening every 1.e4 player should look at as it is fundamental to chess learning.

Since Black gets dynamic play in almost all variations, black players of all levels will probably continue to play the Sicilian for a long time to come.

Here Jesus De La Villa, author of the classic 100 Endgames You Must Know, and his co-author, the Australian GM Max Illingworth, present a complete repertoire to rebuff Black’s most challenging try.

Combat the Sicilian Defense

It has been difficult for White to obtain any advantage in Sicilian sidelines, and this book therefore presents a complete repertoire for White in the most widely played main lines: the Open Sicilians with 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3.

All of Black’s possible answers are covered. ‘Dismantling the Sicilian’ is clearly organized, and each variation is presented with its history, its main ideas, its typical tactics and strategies, and with instructive games.

The author thoroughly explains the relevant themes and always summarizes the most important features.

This Chessable edition is adapted from the latest edition of Dismantling the Sicilian, which was updated and extended from the original 2009 publication.
