A life-long Sozin devotee explains the subtleties of this aggressive system for White. The Sozin Attack is White’s most overtly aggressive counter to the Sicilian. White puts his bishop on c4, and often follows up with direct play against the black king. Unless Black defends with the utmost precision, the bishop’s influence often fuels a deadly attack leading to a cascade of sacrifices and a brutal king-hunt. The Sozin set-up can be employed against the Classical Sicilian, the Najdorf and even the Scheveningen. This book presents in detail the theory of the Sozin in all its forms, including the razor-sharp Velimirovic Attack.

It is no secret that to successfully play an open Sicilian (2.Kf3 and 3.d4) it is necessary to have deep knowledge of a very large range of various schemes and debuts. If you do not want to memorize a lot, then you can go to a closed Sicilian by 2.Kc3 and 3.g3 or 2.Kf3 and 3.Cb5, or choose the Alapin 2.c3 option. But all this has long been known and well studied. First of all, this book (as well as other books in this series) is intended for those chess players who love the initiative game, are not afraid to sacrifice, but at the same time they just want to play chess for their own pleasure, and not engage in constant tracking of the latest innovations in line with the official theory.
