Chess Openings: Learn Sicilian Defense, Kan Variation

Good opening preparation makes up to 60% of your overall success, according to statistics. If you don’t know your openings, you won’t get a playable position and your chances will plummet.

The successful players KNOW the openings they play. Not just the move orders. Not just the basics. But the plans, maneuvers, ideas, tactical patterns, key squares, and everything else in between. These players understand those positions much better than their opponents.

After studying this course, the Kan Sicilian will become second nature to you. It will provide you with the home-field advantage against your competition. You’ll only play familiar lines and well-explored positions. You’ll know exactly what pawn structures will occur, where your pieces will go, what pieces to exchange, and most importantly where and when to launch your game-winning attack!

Instead of analyzing everything over-the-board, as your opponents will do, you’ll use your home preparation to get a serious edge both on the clock and on the board!
