"""The attack-loving Israeli GM's ""King's Indian Warfare"" proved a hit with both reviewers and readers, and now Smirin returns with a selection of his own favourite Sicilian games. Once again these teach much about typical strategies and attacks, as well as the theory of the lines. Smirin likes both the Open Sicilian as White and to defend the Kan as Black. Sicilian players looking for a lively read and some inspiration could do far worse than getting lost in his dynamic and sacrificial world."" -- CHESS magazine"
