Avrukh Boris. Reversed Sicilian - Avrukh's Antidote to 1.c4 (Part 1)

Modern Chess, Opening Databases, 2018.Every chess player has faced the dilemma of how to meet the English opening.1.c4 is objectively a weaker move than 1.e4 or 1.d4, but it is by far the trickiest option for White on move 1. With so many transpositions, different setups and move orders, White has plenty of options to turn the game into the desired setup.That’s why we are pleased to announce this database in which one of the top theoreticians in the world – GM Boris Avrukh, provides you with a complete, aggressive repertoire against 1.c4.Black has many choices after 1.c4, but the Reversed Sicilian (1…e5) is by far the most principled move.Hence it is no surprise that GM Avrukh decided to base his repertoire on it.White has two main branches here: to play 2.g3, or 2.Nc3 3.g3 or to play 2.Nc3 followed by 3.Nf3.In this database, GM Avrukh deals with the second option.The main position arises after 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6, the so-called “Four Knights Variation of the English Opening”Introduction And Free Preview
