Your Intro to the Fightingest Opening against 1.e4

Dazzling piece sacrifices. Unabashed assaults on the enemy king. A win rate better than ANY opening against 1.e4…

It’s hard not to love the Sicilian Defense. But its reputation as a “complicated” opening keeps many away.

Don’t be wary though! Because Grandmaster Ben Finegold brings you a simple and complete Sicilian repertoire, tailor-made for beginner and intermediate players to start battling it out in the Sicilian.

In less than 100 trainable lines, you’ll learn the most critical variations White can play – setting you up with an awesome, fun, counter-attacking Sicilian repertoire you can grow with.

The Classical Sicilian, the basis of your new Sicilian repertoire

The basis of the repertoire is the Classical Sicilian, one of the most solid variations, favored at even the highest levels. You’ll also learn to fight against all the major anti-Sicilians, which you’ll often see at club level.

Altogether, you’ll learn:

♞ The Open Sicilian, where you’ll beat back White’s Rauzer and Sozin variations by ripping open the c-file and launching an onslaught on the enemy king

♞ The Closed Sicilian and Grand Prix Attack, where you’ll beat White to the punch in an attacking race on opposite sides of the board…while your monstrous bishop on g7 keeps tactics ready at every moment

♞ The Alapin Sicilian, where you’ll pick apart White’s central pawns…or dominate the two center files completely with your heavy pieces

♞ The Rossolimo Attack, where you’ll gladly damage your pawn structure in exchange for piece activity White will hate you for

♞ The Morra and Wing Gambits, where you’ll rope-a-dope White if they think they can out-scrap the Sicilian!
