Synopsis,
This review is from: Kasparov's Sicilian Strategies (Paperback)
The Sicilian Defence is the most popular counter-attacking weapon in modern chess. It is the particular favourite of Garry Kasparov, the strongest player in the history of the game. Kasparov employed the Scheveningen Sicilian in the crucial fi nal game of his 1985 world title clash with Karpov to become the youngest ever World Chess Champion. The Najdorf Sicilian was the rock which broke Nigel Short's ambitions as white in his challenge to Kasparov in 1993, while Kasparov's shock use of the Dragon Variation crushed Anand's resistance in their 1995 match in New York.
In this book Grandmaster Raymond Keene selects 39 critical examples of Kasparov's use of the Sicilian defence in top level competition. He explains the strategy behind the opening and analyses the critical variations in such a way as to allow the reader to build up a Sicilian repertoire and develop it into a deadly arsenal for personal use. The Grandmaster author takes special care to explain the ideas behind the moves, in the belief that comprehension of the themes of a chess opening will be of more value to the reader than memorisation of reams of moves by rote. Raymond Keene is a British Chess Champion, and the first British Player to achieve a FIDE (World Chess Federation) Grandmaster norm. He was awarded the OBE for services to chess in 1985. He is Chess Correspondent of The Times, The Sunday Times, The Spectator, and The International Herald Tribune. He is a prolifi c author of chess books, several of which are classics of the genre. He has organised three World Chess Championships.

Very diasppointing.!!!,
By Wan Koon Yat "wankoonyat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Kasparov's Sicilian Strategies (Paperback)
No strategy at all!! Originally I think Keene was writing a book on Kasparov's game under different circumstances, using different Sicilian variation vs different opponents. But no!! Just a collection of 39 games of Kasparov's game with Sicilian opening. Also the price again is very high. In fact I would not buy any chess books issued by Hardinge Simpole in the futur , they just reprinted old books, would not use time to change descrptive notion to algaebric, Dover books also the same, but Dover books price are much much lower than them !!!
I feel very disappointed to Raymond Keene's book and to Hardinge Simpole. |
