The main lines after Nc3 and Bc4 are covered in depth, right up to the sharp, modern Yugoslav-style positions that produce, some of the best Dragon setups available for Black.
The challenging Maroczy Bind (5.c4) gets serious attention too, featuring the latest developments with the active ...Qb6 system - including original novelties and lesser-known setups to surprise your opponents.

If white opts for the Closed Sicilian with g3 or the Grand Prix Attack we will focus on making our g7 bishop the star of the show and attack white queenside.
