Master the Anti-Sicilian: Practical Repertoire with the Moscow Variation and Key Sidelines

This second and final volume of the Anti-Sicilian series provides a complete guide for White against all Sicilian lines that avoid 2...Nc6. The spotlight is on the Moscow Variation (3.Bb5+), the only true alternative to 3.d4 that has posed real challenges for Black. The recommended lines aim to create practical problems and dynamic opportunities for the active player.

✔️ Two clear options vs. 3...Nd7 – castle immediately or play 4.a4 first
✔️ Strategic alternatives against 3...Bd7: choose between 5.c4 (Maroczy style) or 5.0-0 (French Advance structure)
✔️ Modern treatment with 6.h3 instead of 6.c3 to limit Black’s counterplay
✔️ Coverage of 2...e6 systems with both 3.c3 and 3.g3 options
✔️ Bonus analysis of rare second moves like 2...g6, 2...a6, and 2...Nf6 – including Accelerated Dragon setups

Though released later than planned, this volume rounds out a lifetime repertoire against the Sicilian, offering flexibility, depth, and resilience against future theory. Ideal for club players, tournament competitors, and any 1.e4 player seeking powerful Anti-Sicilian weapons.
