The Sicilian Alapin CD By Rogozenko: Sicilian Alapin System

The Sicilian Alapin is a positional, aggressive approach. In contrast to open Sicilians and most other openings, the Sicilian Alapin is a very safe way for White to play for a win. There are many apparently simple positions which look equal, but actually offer White many hidden resources to quickly develop a strong initiative or a deadly attack (see for instance the games Godena-Antunes 1997, or Nisipeanu-Chuchelov 2003). The Sicilian Alapin is a universal opening, which can be played by everyone. Even almost all top Grandmasters have employed it occasionally. generally speaking the evedince shows that the Sicilian Alapin suits best for positional players who can also calculate well variations and have a feeling for hidden tactical ideas.
