Reader Reviews:
This book presents an anti-Sicilian repertoire for White, focusing on 2.Nf3 followed by 3.Bb5. It includes the Moscow Variation (after 2...d6), the Rossolimo (after 2...Nc6), and the King's Indian Attack if Black responds with 2...e6. Gawain Jones is praised for his clear and detailed explanations, making complex ideas accessible, particularly to non-master players. His engaging writing style sets him apart as one of the best authors of his generation. Chess enthusiasts are encouraged to explore more of his works - R Butler
