The flexible Taimanov Sicilian + A Complete Guide for Black against the Anti-Sicilian
Looking for a realistic way to play for a win with Black against 1.e4 without taking unnecessary risks? The Taimanov Sicilian is a reliable system, and hence one of the best options out there!
Robert Ris: "I take a closer look at a potentially very sharp line from the Sicilian Sveshnikov, which was seen in the game Munguntuul-Goryachkina. Although this particular variation enjoyed some popularity years ago, I personally never found it to be a practical choice for White. Black's moves come very naturally and offer great attacking possibilities based on understanding alone, without the need to memorise long lines."
