		<description><![CDATA[This position is typically reached following 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Qb6. The early &#8230;Qb6 move has become quite popular in several different Sicilian systems in recent years. Black&#8217;s main goal is to disrupt White&#8217;s development by eyeing the b2-pawn and to force White to do something about the attacked d4-knight. While Black&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes White tries to confuse his opponent with obscure systems against the Sicilian Defense. There are different reasons for this. White may think his opponent is a much stronger player, is better prepared in main line openings and/or may slip in a little known variation that White has prepared in advance. The 2.b4 Sicilian certainly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every player has his favorite systems that he prefers to reach. But your opponent will often have several options to direct play onto other paths into the first few moves. The 3.c3 choice against the 2&#8230;d6 mainline Sicilian is such a system. First considered a bit obscure, it has now become a respected attempt to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 1990s, White has developed another approach against the 2&#8230;Nc6 Open Sicilian. By playing 3.Bb5, White immediately forces Black to deal with positions that he rarely encounters in the Sicilian. White&#8217;s unusual plan typically involves keeping the center closed for some time and exchanging the light-squared bishop for Black&#8217;s knight on c6 at the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most Sicilian players have their favorite system like the Najdorf, Dragon or Scheveningen. But often White deviates from mainstream play between moves 2 and 5 in order to take his opponent onto less explored and hopefully less prepared paths. We will be learning the basic concepts of all those less popular lines as well. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since the late 1980s, Black has increasingly chosen to play 6&#8230;Qb6 against White&#8217;s attempt to play the Velimirovic Attack. This is more due to personal preferences to play other types of positions instead of facing the Velimirovic. Black has done quite well with this line regardless of how White continues now.

		<description><![CDATA[The Richter-Rauzer is a popular system and is characterized by White playing 6.Bg5 in the Four Knights Position. White will almost always castle queenside in this line, while Black&#8217;s king will usually seek safety on the kingside. Surprisingly this system often does not promise direct king assaults. The main focus for both sides tends to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This position is one of the most frequently encountered ones in the Open Sicilian. It features a mixture of tactical and positional schemes. Typical for this opening is that White castles on the queenside, while Black castles on the kingside. This often sets the stage for attacks on opposite wings, but unlike in other systems, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Closed Sicilian has been a popular opening on the tournament level for over 40 years. Made popular by former World Champion Boris Spassky, it leads to very different positions than the Open Sicilian. White will not try to open the position with an early d2-d4 pawn advance and often no pieces are exchanged for [...]]]></description>
