xiv+146 pages with diagrams and indices. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. This variation of the Sicilian has been gaining more and more popularity and is very often seen in tournament practice. The fact that this opening has become part of a standard repertoire against 1.e4 for many top players such as Rapport, Dubov, Li Chao, Korobov, Gupta, Vovk etc. speaks for itself about the quality and the fascination of the variation and also about the many possibilities it offers. It's hard to pinpoint the real reasons for this popularity, but it's likely that the answer lies in the complexity of the positions that arise on the board and the large number of new ideas. Condition: Jacket with light edge wear else better than very good in a near fine jacket.
