Starting Out: Closed Sicilian (Starting Out - Everyman Chess)

From the Back Cover The Closed Sicilian is an ideal weapon for players who wish for an aggressive way to attack the Sicilian but have neither the time nor the inclination to learn the seemingly endless mountains of opening theory associated with Open Sicilians. In the Closed Sicilian an awareness of the typical themes is far more important than memorising variations. White's play is logical and the basic strategies are simple to master, while the deliberate and slow burning attack on the black king appeals to many.In Starting Out: Closed Sicilian Richard Palliser takes a fresh look at this famous opening. The early moves and ideas are introduced and care is taken to explain the reasoning behind them - something that is often neglected or taken for granted. As with previous works in the popular Everyman Chess Starting Out series, the reader is helped throughout with a plethora of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital characteristics of the Closed Sicilian and of opening play in general.*User-friendly design to help readers absorb ideas*Concentrates on the key principles of the Closed Sicilian*Ideal for the improving playerRichard Palliser is a young English International Master and former junior international who is quickly carving out a reputation as a skilled and prolific chess writer. He's a regular columnist for CHESS and ChessMoves, and his debut book for Everyman Chess, Tango!, provoked enormous interest from the critics and the chess public alike. About the Author
