«Experts on the Anti-Sicilian», de Jacob Aagaard y John Shaw (editores) (tapa dura)

Experts on the Anti-Sicilian by Jacob Aagaard and John Shaw is an English-language hardcover chess book for players and ambitious club players who want a focused study of Anti-Sicilian lines after 1.e4 c5.

What the book covers

The Sicilian Defence is one of the most popular openings in chess, and this book examines the systems White uses to sidestep the main open Sicilian lines. It gives readers a practical way to study the Anti-Sicilian while also building a broader understanding of the ideas behind these positions.

Edited by GM Jacob Aagaard and GM John Shaw, it brings together expert analysis from strong grandmasters. That makes it useful not only for players of 1.e4, but also for anyone building a repertoire with Black against the Sicilian Defence.

Why it stands out

This is a strong choice if you want to deepen your opening study, organise your knowledge of the Anti-Sicilian, or work through modern analysis in a structured way. It is also well suited to tournament preparation, where clear opening ideas and up-to-date theory matter.
