Easy Guide to the Sicilian Scheveningen
by Steffen Pedersen
Category: Games

The Sicilian Scheveningen is an uncompromising yet flexible system for Black that has been a favourite of many top players, including World Champions Spassky and Kasparov. Black sets up a 'small centre' and develops quickly-unlike many Sicilian variations, Black's king is robustly defended. This book discusses all variations resulting from the authentic Scheveningen move-order, with Black taking on the sharp Keres Attack head-on. Cadogan's new Easy Guide series represents a new approach to chess openings books: just enough detail and just enough explanation to enable readers to play an opening with confidence, without months memorizing theory-the easy way ot master a chess opening. International Master Steffen Pedersen is a young player from Denmark who first attained notoriety by scoring a grandmaster norm when he was 16. He has earned a reputation as a fine writer, whose work on the Dutch Defence has been especially praised. (5 11/16' X 8 1/4', 128 pages, illustrations)
