Play the Kalashnikov Sicilian
We are excited to announce Play the Kalashnikov Sicilian, a brand-new course by IM Kushager Krishnater, offering a complete and dynamic repertoire for Black after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 e5.
The Kalashnikov Sicilian is an ideal weapon for the practical tournament player. Unlike many other Sicilian variations, it allows Black to fight for a win without taking excessive risks. The variation is strategically rich, often giving Black the opportunity to outplay opponents on positional grounds alone.
Why Play the Kalashnikov?
- A Sound, Fighting Opening – Black immediately grabs space and challenges White’s control without committing to ...Nf6.
- Easier to Learn – Compared to other Sicilian variations, the Kalashnikov has a narrow but effective move selection, making preparation more manageable.
- Avoids the Sveshnikov Mainlines – Since Black delays ...Nf6, White cannot use the typical Bg5-Bxf6 plan, making the play more flexible.
- Surprise Value – Many White players are less prepared for the Kalashnikov than for other Sicilian setups.
As always, IM Krishnater brings fresh ideas and novelties, ensuring that you’ll have the most up-to-date and practical repertoire at your disposal.
