This video course offers you a complete, clear repertoire for Black against the moves 1.Nf3 and 1.c4. The recommended variations are easy to learn and not difficult to remember, but also pose White serious challenges.

Robert Ris: "In my new episode I discuss the ins and outs of the Sicilian Rossolimo with 3...e6, based on Black's 28 move victory in the Bundesliga game Erdogmus-Nguyen. In a sharp middlegame with opposite castled kings Black seemed to be perfectly in control thanks to its dominance in the centre. The extra central pawn, bishop pair, half open b-file etc. Black's position seemed very comfortable out of the opening. Still, the position remained quite tricky in some lines everything depends on just a single tempo. Nguyen played very convincingly and converted his advantage with excellent calculation. A true modelgame!."

This DVD will show you dangerous new sidelines that are ideal for combatting the Sicilian after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5, with your author giving you the positional ideas behind less well-trodden Sicilian paths that avoid the main and winding main lines.

Exercise: How should Black give his attacking ambitions a new impulse?
