This is an updated and largely expanded edition of Starting Out: The Sicilian, the highly acclaimed guide to the most popular and famous opening in chess.

In this user-friendly book, Grandmaster John Emms goes back to basics, studying the fundamental principles of the Sicilian Defence and its many variations. Throughout the book there are an abundance of notes, tips, warnings and exercises to help the improving player, while key strategies, ideas and tactics for both sides are clearly illustrated.

The greatest attraction of the Sicilian is that it allows Black to unbalance the position and play for a win, without having to take any unjustified risks. Its many variations range from the super-solid Scheveningen to the dangerous and ultra-sharp Dragon.

For those playing Black it should be easy to find one that suits your style, while those playing White can choose from the range of options given against each line.

Changes in the second edition:
- deeper coverage of the Sicilian (ideas and theory)
- wider coverage of the Sicilian (including new developments, e.g. in the Dragon and less common lines)
- over 20 new (recent) games added
