About this product
 
The quick-firing, semi-automatic strategic blood-brother of the Sveshnikov, the Kalashnikov Sicilian is a favorite among free-thinking chess players, guaranteed to shock those brought up on classical chess. Black sacrifices control of the d5-square, but, as games by such grandmasters as Anand, Shirov, Ivanchuck, Short and VanderWiel have shown, Black's active piece play provides fine compensation. Play is sharp and often brutal as both sides try to prove their case.

Thorough knowledge of the strategical and tactical themes is essential to play the Kalashnikov with success. In this up-to-the-minute survey, the author has taken great pains to explain the key lines, while providing enough analysis to equip the reader to win with the Kalashnikov against opposition of all standards.

International Master Neil McDonald is an experienced player, having gained a 2495 rating while still a teenager. He is renowned for his extreme resourcefulness at the board and has recently inflicted defeats on World Championship candidates Valery Salov and Sergey Tiviakov and won all three Baroque International tournaments in London.
