""Dutch IM Robert Risis back again with a companion volume covering all of White tries besides 3.d4 in Beat the Anti-Sicilians. This is a popular topic and this reviewer would estimate that over a dozen books have been written on the subject - this volume is one of the best. Why? Because it is not only well researched and well explained, but also well thought out."" -IM John Donaldson March 2022.

I have aimed to find a good balance of verbal explanations without ignoring the hardcore variations you have to know.

In case you find some of the analyses a bit too long, don't be discouraged! They have been included mainly to illustrate the thematic ideas and show in which direction the game develops once the theoretical paths have been left. That's why I have actually decided to cover 37 games in their entirety, rather than cutting off my analysis with an evaluation. I believe that model games help you to better understand an opening, but certainly also the ensuing middle- andendgames.

p>Just as in the The Modernized Sveshnikov, also in this book I have made frequently use of correspondence and engine games. With a lack of over the board (elite) tournaments, most elite playersmade their switch to the world of online chess as well. These games with a shorter time control are often full of mistakes, but the opening stage is still relevant. Hence, I have decided to include these online games whenever I thought them to be a useful addition to our repertoire.

With the completion of this work and The Modernized Sveshnikov, I think I have succeeded in offering the reader a complete, ambitious, and sound Black repertoire against 1.e4. I am incrediblysatisfied with the result of this work, as I think the mix of new ideas, beautiful variations, model games, extensive analyses and explanation of key concepts will inspire many chess fans. I would like to wish you all an enjoyable read and hope that you will be able to apply some of my recommendations in your own games. You no longer have to fear any Anti-Sicilian!

Reviews for Beat the Anti-Sicilians

Back in 2020 Dutch IM Robert Ris produced an excellent book on the Sveshnikov. Now he is back again with a companion volume covering all of White tries besides 3.d4 in Beat the Anti-Sicilians. This is a popular topic and this reviewer would estimate that over a dozen books have been written on the subject - this volume is one of the best. Why? Because it is not only well researched and well explained, but also well thought out. IM John Donaldson March 2022.
