Sicilian Warfare is a practical guide to the most dynamic defence against 1.e4, starting where opening theory ends and the middlegame begins. Ilya Smirin breaks down the strategic battle into easily understood elements and then looks at them in a dynamic setting. With illuminating annotations of Smirin’s best Sicilian games with both colours, Sicilian Warfare offers a feast of attacking chess and a world-class guide to the most ambitious reply to 1.e4.
"The attack-loving Israeli GM's "King's Indian Warfare" proved a hit with both reviewers and readers, and now Smirin returns with a selection of his own favourite Sicilian games. Once again these teach much about typical strategies and attacks, as well as the theory of the lines. Smirin likes both the Open Sicilian as White and to defend the Kan as Black. Sicilian players looking for a lively read and some inspiration could do far worse than getting lost in his dynamic and sacrificial world." -- CHESS magazine
