In Sicilian Attacks, Grandmaster Yuri Yakovieh, who has more than thirty years of experience with complex Sicilian systems, analyses the Najdorf, the Scheveningen, the Dragon, the Taimanov and the Richter-Rauzer Variations. He teaches how their pawn struc­tures dictate typical methods of attack for White, but he also gives the best defending techniques for Black.

This book provides cutting-edge analysis full of original ideas, but also contains useful verbal guidelines to help you to recognize typical Sicilian plans and counlerplans. An abundance of highly in­structive games illustrate the various strategic and tactical themes. At the end of each chapter you will find practical conclusions.
