Grandmaster Repertoire 6A - Cómo vencer a las defensas antisicilianas, de Vassilios Kotronias (tapa blanda)

This Grandmaster Repertoire 6A - Beating the Anti-Sicilians by Vassilios Kotronias is an English-language chess opening book in paperback format for players building a Sicilian Defence repertoire with Black. It focuses on practical answers to the main Anti-Sicilian systems after 1.e4 c5.

Grandmaster Vassilios Kotronias covers a wide range of Anti-Sicilian lines, from less common early deviations to variations that have been tested at the highest level. The book is structured to work with repertoires based on 2...d6, 2...e6 and 2...Nc6, so it is easy to fit the recommendations into your own opening choices.

What’s inside

The book concentrates on the Anti-Sicilian systems that are often the most awkward for Black in practice, including the Morra Gambit, Wing Gambit, the 2.c3 system, closed variations, 3.Bb5+ and the Rossolimo. Instead of general advice, you get concrete repertoire solutions designed for real games.

That makes it a useful study book for players who want a consistent answer to 1.e4 and prefer to meet Anti-Sicilian ideas with a prepared plan rather than improvisation.
