You haven't heard of the Kan Variation of the Sicilian? You wouldn't know what to do against it? Neither will your opponents, if you study this guide from a young IM who has tested the variation extensively.
The Kan is one of the Sicilian's best-kept secrets. Yet it has been played by several World Champions, including Kasparov, Karpov, Fischer, Petrosian and Tal, and many of the top modern grandmasters, such as Anand, Kamsky, the Polgars and Ilya Gurevich.
Black adopts a flexible stance, and repeatedly obtains positions far removed from the standard Sicilian scenarios. Its practical sting is clear from a glance through this book - Black is ready to strike if White overextends. Those who face the Sicilian as White spend enormous amounts of time studying the Najdorf and the Dragon, but are frequently taken unawares by the flexible Kan.
The first book focusing on the subtleties of the Kan
Pros and cons of plans and set-ups discussed
Packed with recent ideas and analysis

Die Kan-Verteidigung in der Sizilianischen Verteidigung entsteht nach den Zügen 1. e4 c5 2. Sf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Sxd4 a6. Mancherorts firmiert diese Zugfolge auch unter dem Namen "Verbesserte Paulsen-Verteidigung", das Kind trägt also durchaus verschiedene Namen. Dies umso mehr noch, als die zitierten Eingangszüge Übergänge in andere Systeme wie z.B. die "Scheveninger Verteidigung" jederzeit zulassen. Der Autor, seines Zeichens internationaler Meister, hat eine Menge Material zusammengetragen, welches vorwiegend aus den neunziger Jahren stammt, mithin hochaktuell ist. Englischkenntnisse sind bei Eröffnungsbüchern dieser Art sicherlich von Vorteil, wenngleich nicht unbedingt unabdingbar.
