My Classical Sicilian - Top-Level Repertoire for Black

GM-Arjun-Kalyan-Modern-Chess-team

We are thrilled to announce the release of My Classical Sicilian - Top-Level Repertoire for Black, a new course by GM Arjun Kalyan, providing an ambitious and principled repertoire for Black.

Why the Classical Sicilian?

The Classical Sicilian arises after:
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6

As the name suggests, this opening has stood the test of time, offering a rich history and sound principles. Unlike the Najdorf, where White has numerous flexible options, the Classical Sicilian demands precise and active play from White.

In the introduction, GM Kalyan explains:
"This is a classical opening played for several decades. The term 'classical' typically means that both sides are playing sound moves, following the general principles. We are focusing on development towards the center. Unlike the Najdorf, where White has several decent options, White cannot afford to play too slowly here. The Classical Sicilian is also a very fighting option—Black usually has the ambition of playing for a win."

What’s Inside the Course?

GM Kalyan delivers a comprehensive repertoire packed with practical ideas, detailed analysis, and modern insights, offering Black a complete toolkit to face 1.e4.

11 Theoretical Chapters: Covering the most critical lines and deviations White might choose.
20 Interactive Test Positions: Sharpen your tactical and strategic understanding of the Classical Sicilian.
Memory Booster: Reinforce key ideas and variations effortlessly.
Video Version: 3 hours and 18 minutes of in-depth instruction, bringing the repertoire to life.
