The Sicilian defence remains the most popular Black defence, particularly in club and tournament play. This book provides a viable alternative to the main lines and covers a system which will provide sound and interesting middle games. The first edition of this work has been revised and updated and now includes gambit lines with an early Bc4. Sicilian exponenets will find this work invaluable as many of their opponents will prefer 2 c3. Murray Chandler is a Grandmaster.
