The variant 1.e4 c5; 2.b3 is very interesting to fight the
very popular Sicilian defense. In your chess career, how often have you changed
your repertoire to avoid confrontation of the Sicilian defense? Frequently my
students and readers say: "I do not know how to play against the Sicilian
defense!" With 2.b3 against the Sicilian you will find a variant easy to
understand. This system has been played occasionally by some very strong Grand
Masters, such as Magnus Carlsen, Nigel Short, Boris Spassky, Vladimir Kramnik,
Levon Aronian and Alexander Morozevich. Also it has been the main anti-Sicilian
weapon of such strong players GM Tamaz Gelashvili, IM Moshe Czerniak, and
IM/WGM Eva Repkova. I hope you enjoy the book and obtain many successes with
2.b3 against the Sicilian.
