4.0 out of 5 stars
Still one of the best c3 books out there, August 25, 1998
This review is from: C3 Sicilian: Analysis and Complete Games (Paperback)
Along with Murray Chandler's more recent, The Complete c3 Sicilian, this is one of only two Alapin Sicilian books worth owning. The games in this book are no longer on the cutting edge of theory, but are still instructive examples of the latent power of the system. There are fewer games than in Chandler's tome, but Lane's are annotated more with the amateur player in mind which is very helpful in an opening about which little has been written until its recent rise in popularity. If you can get a copy of this book, pick it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This book Rules!, January 9, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: C3 Sicilian: Analysis and Complete Games (Paperback)
This book is so well written that not only did I come away
with a good understanding of this particular opening system,
but Mr. Lane's explanations of why each move was important
in each separate variation helped my chess play in general.
The very next tournament I played in I beat two higher ranked
players and gained a bunch of ratings points. Read it! I
guarantee you will come away impressed.
