We are happy to announce that the former World Champion GM Alexander Khalifman has published his first course for Modern Chess - Play the Taimanov Sicilian.
The starting position of this course is reached after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6
Khalifman invested a lot of time and energy into this project. After many months of investigations, he got fully convinced that Taimanov Variation is working fine from a conceptual point of view. During your work on the material, you will find many fresh ideas and new directions in well-known critical positions. According to Khalifman, Taimanov is very suitable for players who want to play for a win. In his opinion, compared to the other Sicilian mainlines, Taimanov is less theoretical.
The database consists of 15 theoretical chapters, 15 interactive test positions, a Memory Booster, and a Video Version (9 hours of Video Running Time).

While Part 1 was mainly focused on Slav and QGD setups, the current course deals with the extremely critical 2...c5, as well as with the topical 2...Nd7, and 2...Nc6. The move 2...g6 is not covered in the current database since White should play 3.d4 and transpose to the main lines. Nevertheless, the position arising after 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 g6 3.d4 Bg7 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.c4 c6 was covered in another database of Michael Roiz - Expert Repertoire against the Slav Defence. For the sake of completeness, all the chapters featuring this system are added to the current database as well.
True to his analytical approach, GM Roiz manages to find rare and almost unexplored ideas against some well-established main lines. What is even more important is that all the suggested lines can be played without any risk.
