The Killer Sicilian by Tony Rotella I have 2 questions for openings experts: 1) Which line is actually the best line against the Kalashnikov? 2) It can be usefull to bypass the Kalashnikov playing 1. e4 c5 2.

Which road to the Sveshnikov ? We have two ways to reach the Sveshnikov (I am excluding routes via Kalashnikov and maybe Taimanov). 1. The "official" move order for the Sveshnikov. 2.

Kalashnikow DWD by Nicholas Pert Well that was surprise, another Sicilian DWD but this time another system with ...e5: https://shop.chessbase.com/de/products/pert_the_kalashnikov_sicilian 00: Introduction [06:58] Sideline... My personal opinion is that I slightly prefer L'Ami as presenter compared to Pert, but both are fine still. In any case, I have not seen any material, neither book nor database nor DWD, about Kalashnikow since the Everyman book. But that book was several years ago.

No more open sicilians? Dear friends, I have seen a lo of antisicilians among very strong players around 2700. Can we conclude that the open sicilian is too risky for white?
