Master the Openings - Sicilian Defense

This course teaches play in all the major lines of the Sicilian Defense, including the Moscow Variation (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bb5), which has regained popularity thanks to Magnus Carlsen, the Dragon (...g6), Scheveningen (...e6), Najdorf (...a6), Richter Attack (6. Bg5), Sozin Attack (6. Bc4), Sveshnikov, and the Paulsen System (...e6 and ...a6), among others. The Sicilian Defense is the most popular chess opening and has been the main weapon of many legendary players, including Tal, Fischer, and Kasparov. The positions are highly dynamic, and success depends on a deep understanding of the subtleties.
