Sicilian defence - Lubomir Ftacnik

Lubomir Ftacnik is a renowned opening analyst with great experience and expertise in the Sicilian Defence. In this book he reveals his secrets to provide a complete repertoire for Black against 1.e4 with 1...c5. The meat of the repertoire is the Najdorf variation -- the perennial favourite of those who want to attack with Black. It is no coincidence that Fischer, Kasparov and Anand have all relied on the Najdorf. Naturally, White's less critical tries are also covered, such as the 2.c3, 2.f3 d6 3.b5+, and the Closed Sicilian. Features: A sharp yet sound complete repertoire; Critical lines explained by an expert; Hundreds of novelties; Busts many recommended lines.
