Kopec: Mastering the Sicilian

Kopec: Mastering the Sicilian

The Sicilian Defence, famed for its exciting counter-attacking potential, has long enjoyed great popularity at all levels of play- from club amateur to world champion.In this instructive book, part of the acclaimed Batsford Mastering the Openings series, International Master Dr Danny Kopec explains the Sicilian from Blacks point of view in terms of pawn structures, tactical themes and plans, rather than dense analysis of specific lines of play.By going through the mastery lessons, step by step, the reader will gain true understanding of the ideas behind the main variations of the Sicilian and the confidence to progress thereafter to a study of more advanced theory.
