The fight to find a simple way to play the opening is a never-ending struggle for the weekend amateur. Even grandmasters get grey hair trying to think of something new to play; much as professional players play to win, they, too, reach a point where they just can take the same old thing any more
The Sicilian (1. e4 c5) is a dynamic and fighting opening. One of the most neglected variations is the Kan (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 a6), which was played by Louis Paulsen in the 19th century. Effectively, it is an accelerated Najdorf. Sharp, dangerous for both sides, ideal for players who want to make master. Worth every penny.
