Play The Open Sicilian Part 2 + PGN

IM Kushager Krishnater continues his Open Sicilian project with another wonderful database – Play the Open Sicilian – Part 2.

In this part, the author provides a complete repertoire for White based on 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4

The most important variations that are covered in this database are Taimanov, Kan, and Four Knights Sicilian. Of course, IM Krishnater also deals with the Scheveningen and all the sidelines.

True to his analytical approach, the author chooses relatively unexplored lines that lead to fresh positions with room for creativity. At the same time, all the suggestions are fully reliable, even according to the top engines. If your opponent is not sufficiently well prepared, he will face huge practical problems.

The material consists of 15 theoretical chapters, 15 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (3 hours and 8 mins).
