"'The first books I browse when I go to the bookstore' - ChessCafe.com 'The ideal opening training manuals.' Glenn Flear - New In Chess 'They will fill a serious gap in the current chess literature, and I'm sure they will be extremely popular with amateur chess players.' Chessville.com"
Kurzbeschreibung
The Scheveningen is an uncompromising and flexible variation of Black's most popular defence to 1 e4, the Sicilian. It's a firm favourite of the world's greatest ever chess player, Garry Kasparov, who used it many times in crucial games, including his world championship matches against Anatoly Karpov and Vishy Anand. His success rate against Karpov was so good that the former world champion was forced to abandon his normal first move to avoid it! Black's play in the Scheveningen is based around a solid and resilient pawn structure, a well-defended king and guaranteed counterplay against every white set-up. In "Starting Out: Sicilian Scheveningen" Craig Pritchett takes a fresh look at this famous opening. The early moves and ideas are introduced and care is taken to explain the reasoning behind them - something that is often neglected or taken for granted. As with previous works in the popular "Everyman Chess Starting Out" series, the reader is helped throughout with a plethora of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital characteristics of the Sicilian Scheveningen and of opening play in general. Written by a renowned Scheveningen expert, this book covers the main lines that is ideal for the improving player.

Wieder einmal ein gutes Buch zum Einstieg in eine neue Eröffnung aus der "Starting out"-Reihe ! Die Fülle von Partien in den Datenbanken bringt m. E. in Wirklichkeit einem Spieler mit Niveau 1.900 - 2.000 nicht viel. Besser ist es, die Problematik der Eröffnung zu verstehen und dafür sind die "Starting out"-Bücher einfach super ! Sie sorgen dafür, daß man als "Durchschnittsspieler" die Verteidigungs-Ideen bzw. Angriffschancen der Variante nach und nach versteht. Auch ist das Buch so konzipiert, daß jeder sich seine Systeme selbst zusammenstellen kann oder Inspirationen für einen evtl. Wechsel innerhalb der Eröffnung holt. Insgesamt gesehen, ein Buch, daß für jeden Interessierten ohne Erfahrung in der Variante von Vorteil ist. Die "Starting out"-Reihe verdient wirklich ihren Namen ! Gute Einstiegsbücher !

MUCH More Than Just a Start!

This could be the best, and is certainly one of the most current references on the Sicilian Scheveningen. Unlike the "Starting Out" title that covers the whole Siclian, this is not dumbed down, just get your feet wet coverage. While not a truly comprehensive book, the Scheveningen is very well covered with 46 example games covering most major lines that White can throw at Black. Pritchett gives many, many other lines and there are theoretical sections preceding the games in each section that are filled with many useful, practical tips. Pritchett has been a dedicated practitioner of this defense for decades, and that makes ALL the diference when it comes to authoritative, and truly USEFUL advice. A notable line not covered is 6.Be2 a6 7.O-O Be7 8.f4 O-O 9. Be3 Qc7 (the Classical Scheveningen), but Pritchett's coverage of the more modern and less theoretical alternate lines will give most players ample weapons. What I especially like about this book is that Pritchett has obviously done his own analysis, and has many valuable pointers along the way. Like most works, every line and every move has not been computer checked, so don't take his every word as gospel, but this is a great tool for just about anybody below Expert or possibly even Master strength who is interested in this solid, yet dynamic defense.

No cigar

This is a challenging book to review. It's not bad - let's get that on the record. It's the best Scheveningen book I could find to learn the opening. [Update: until I found Emms' book - see below] It has excellent coverage of the lines that the author chose to cover (reasonable choices) by an acknowledged expert in the lines. The games include helpful commentary, and useful notes on transpositions. But it just didn't fly. So what's wrong with it?
It just comes across as colorless. I got no sense of the "feel" of the opening. it was too disinterested - it offered few value judgements on which lines were more worthy than others. It lacked an instructional bias. It was like a cut-down advanced presentation rather than an introductory work - like an old style opening book from the 90s. Compare it with the 30 pages on the Scheveningen in Jansa's Dynamics of Chess Strategy or Andrew Greet's wonderful Accelerated Dragon Starting Out book and you see the marked difference in instructional tone. I guess my question is this: what's the use of a Starting Out book without guidance?
Not a criticism, but you should also know that it does not cover the Classical Scheveningen - lines with an early ..a6 and ..Qc7. It covers only the Modern Scheveningen.
Update: If you want a truly excellent book on the Classical Scheveningen, try Emms' Play the Najdorf: Scheveningen Style. You can use an early ...e6 as in Pritchett's lines instead of the Najdorf move order if you like and you have a traditional Scheveningen repertoire with an early ...a6. There is no ...e5 stuff in it - it's all small center. Just ignore the Bg5 chapter and use the Keres Attack chapter from Pritchett (since the Najdorf move order was chosen to avoid the Keres Attack, there's no Keres Attack treatment in Emms' book). Of course, if you are ok with an early ...d6 and Bg5 Najdorf lines then this book was designed for you. It's a serious, hard slog repertoire book (not a starter manual), but it's full of useful commentary and the value judgements that I missed from Pritchett's book.

As good an introduction as you could hope for

First of all, this book is on the Modern Scheveningen. This means that it only covers lines without an early ...a6 from Black. If you want to play the equally viable Classical Scheveningen with an early ...a6 then you will need to look for a different book. The strategic ideas here are all explained very well and it makes an excellent introduction to the current theory of the opening.
Another great resource for both the Modern Schevenigen and the Classical is the Bookup module(www.bookuppro.com) The Scheveningen Sicilian by FM Chuck Schulien which can be used along with this book to great effect. The choice of lines and explainations from these two resources complement each other well and will give you additional choice and understanding in the opening.
