CLEARANCE - Beat the Anti-Sicilians

I have aimed to find a good balance of verbal explanations without ignoring the  hardcore variations you have to know. In case you find some of the analyses a bit too long, don’t be discouraged! They have been included mainly to illustrate the  thematic ideas and show in which direction the game develops once the theoretical  paths have been left. That’s why I have actually decided to cover 37 games in their entirety, rather than cutting off my analysis with an evaluation. I believe that model  games help you to better understand an opening, but certainly also the ensuing  middle- and endgames. 

With the completion of this work and The Modernized Sveshnikov, I think I have  succeeded in offering the reader a complete, ambitious, and sound Black repertoire  against 1.e4. I am incredibly satisfied with the result of this work, as I think the mix  of new ideas, beautiful variations, model games, extensive analyses and explanation of key concepts will inspire many chess fans. I would like to wish you all an  enjoyable read and hope that you will be able to apply some of my recommendations in your own games. You no longer have to fear any Anti-Sicilian!
