Classical Sicilian

CLASSICAL SICILIAN by Anthony Kosten After the moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6, the basic position of the Classical Sicilian arises on the board. This is the position which has been examined by our English author. GM Kostenīs very committed work is an exclusive database with "only" 942 entries. His expert preselection of relevant material considerably facilitates the study of this quite extensive opening sector for the learning player. The individual variations are presented in 27 detailed texts with links to 915 sample games (22 games from Kramnik) of which 200 are annotated (40 games analysed by Kosten exclusively for this CD). The training database features 25 test games with 55 training questions where you can gain points sweating against the clock. Moreover, the CD contains a reference database with more than 8.000 games (i.e. all games available in ChessBase format) and a tree of all games. Language: English and German
