Product Description
In Dangerous Weapons: The Sicilian, John Emms and Richard Palliser team up to investigate by far the most popular and widely-played chess opening, but in a revolutionary way. They select an abundance of opening weapons for both White and Black, many of which are innovative, visually shocking, incredibly tricky, or have been unfairly discarded.
