SICILIAN DEFENSE MASTERY

For Club Players

"If you plan to enter any tournaments this year, or take part in any competitive chess, there is one opening you simply must know inside-out: the Sicilian Defense."

Hi there, 

The chess openings that you choose as your main weapons are CRITICALLY IMPORTANT. If you are not frequently achieving positions that are equal (or better!) out of the opening, it is time to switch it up.

So many players try to win safely with white and play for a draw with black. THIS IS COMPLETELY WRONG !!! If you find yourself doing the exact same thing, you need to upgrade your repertoire in the right direction, and there’s no better way to start than learning an opening system for black against 1. e4 that will let you play to win from any position or variation.

The new bundle Sicilian Defense Mastery for Club Players will teach you an opening that the best chess players in the history of the game have employed with great frequency at the highest levels of the game: Magnus Carlsen, Garry Kasparov, and Bobby Fischer all regularly played the Sicilian Defense in the most critical moments of their careers.

The Sicilian Defense is the most double-edged opening system that you can play, black is going to have chances to win every single game in any of the main lines or sidelines. Diversifying your study of the Sicilian Defense by learning several of the different main variations for black will give you a more holistic understanding of this exceptionally aggressive opening system.

This series of chess videos with several different Grandmaster presenters is guaranteed to provide you a deeper understanding of the most effective systems for black in the Sicilian Defense, and you will find yourself dominating opponents with black against 1. e4.

The 9 volumes will teach you:

  • The “sac, sac, mate!” combination made famous by Bobby Fischer against the Sicilian Dragon.
  • The rapid development trick GM Volokitin (2723) used to beat Magnus Carlsen – explained by the winner himself.
  • Exactly how to play (and defend) the 3.Bb5 anti-Sicilian. If you play 1…c5 you will encounter this and it takes a switching of gears to deal with effectively. GM Lemos’ 2 volumes will show you how to use this subtle system to catch your opponent off-guard early on.
  • How to crush White with the Najdorf variation – the Cadillac of chess openings. Playing the Najdorf can be like walking a tightrope… for both players. With GM Rafael Leitão’s training you’ll soon find yourself on firm ground, ready to push your opponent off the board.
  • The secret strength of the fashionable Sveshnikov system in which Black allows White a Knight on d5 in return for the 2 Bishops. This opening appears all the time in tournaments nowadays and you’ll have a big edge thanks to training from 2700+ rated FIDE Senior Trainer GM Krasenkow.
  • Plus tons more, all with the professional production we’ve come to expect from Empire Chess and including the PGNs of all the featured games.

The purpose of this DVD is to demonstrate to the beginner and intermediate chess players the basic and advanced principles of one of the most dangerous openings known to the game of chess – the Sicilian Najdorf. Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer are my favorite chess players and I learned an incredible amount about the similarities and differences found in their respective styles, specifically about their ideologies in the Sicilian Najdorf.
