Lifetime Repertoires Taimanov Sicilian by GM Pentala Harikrishna

Build Airtight Positions And Fight For The Full Point
With The Harmonious But Fierce Taimanov Sicilian

If you think playing to win as Black is all about nerves of steel and cutting-edge “computer” variations, then we’ve got a pleasant surprise for you!

After spending over 180 days in his opening lab, Chessable’s first 2700+ author Grandmaster Pentala Harikrishna now reveals an ambitious and “human” way to play against 1.e4.

Lifetime Repertoires: Taimanov Sicilian sets you up for success with 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6, controlling d5 and bulletproofing the light-squares around your king. Next, your knight jumps to c6 and your queen slips to c7, creating a structure that’s…

Flexible And Ready To Strike
Like A Coiled Cobra!

GM Harikrishna went beyond the main lines and examined White’s alternatives from move two, making this course an all-in-one library versus 1.e4.

Inside, you will find over 1200 trainable variations to neutralize just about everything the opponent can throw your way…

🏆 From Closed Nc3 systems, the Alapin, Morra Gambit, and other sidelines
🏆 Sharp continuations in the Open Sicilian, including the English Attack
🏆 To more positional setups with Be2 and everything in between

All of which received the super-GM’s stamp of approval.

There isn’t a single line I would fear using, even against the strongest opponents, and I have already played many of the variations in this course at various super events. – Pentala Harikrishna

But beyond theory, this course also upgrades other parts of your game.

Over 30 hours of video show you the essential structures, tactics, and strategies. So you can play not just the opening; but also the arising middlegames and endgames like an expert.
