The Sicilian Grand Prix Attack finally gets the approach and the treatment it deserves, by one the world's greatest opening experts!

The Grand Prix Attack is one of White's deadliest weapons against the Sicilian Defence. It continues to be highly popular with tourna­ment chess players all over the world. While earlier publications mainly focused on tactics, this book finally gives the f4 Sicilian the approach it deserves.

Evgeny Sveshnikov, who has extensive experience fighting the Si­cilian with an early f4 himself, not only points out the combinative opportunities, but also explains the plans, the purposes and the po­sitional impact of the various lines in a clear and systematic way.

In a special chapter, Sveshnikov explains his own, highly original ideas about the Sicilian Defence, presenting the 'Sveshnikov Sys­tem' - not to be confused with the Sveshnikov Variation!

In this comprehensive book about all lines with an early f4, Svesh­nikov looks at possibilities for both colours, brings you up to date on the latest developments and presents a number of cunning new ideas, many of which come from his own games. You will get a com­pletely new view on attacking the Sicilian with an early f4!
