The Sicilian is far and away the most popular chess opening,
and many players prefer to side-step the Open Sicilian with one of the
Anti-Sicilian systems at Whites disposal. This book equips Black to fight
against all these lines. The Anti-Sicilian systems include: positionally
motivated lines such as the 2. c3 Sicilian and the 3. Bb5 systems; slow but
tricky attacking lines including the Closed Sicilian and the King's Indian
Attack; aggressive but loosening ideas like the Grand Prix Attack and a variety
of gambits. In the most critical variations, Rogozenko provides a choice between
a solid and an aggressive option. He caters for those who meet 2. Nf3 with the
three main moves, 2...d6, 2...e6 and 2...Nc6.
Dorian Rogozenko is a young grandmaster from Moldova who
lives in Romania. He plays in the German, Romanian and Dutch leagues and has
represented his country at four Chess Olympiads. Rogozenko also qualified for
the 2001 FIDE World Championship and is a recognized expert on opening theory.
This is his first chess book.
