Kurzbeschreibung
'The Sicilian BB5 Revealed' follows the huge success of 'The Benko Gambit Revealed' and 'The Queen's Pawn Attack Revealed' in a new and innovative series of books. Using fresh, clear presentation, the key ideas of the openings are explained in an entertaining and accessible way. The aim of this series is to provide the essential knowledge to play the opening, while at the same time revealing the current thinking of the World's elite players. For example, 'First Moves' leads readers through the basic opening moves. 'Heroes & Zeroes' gives the best and worst performances with the opening and features some of the leading exponents of the Benko Gambit. 'Tricks & Traps' reveals how you might catch out your opponent. 'What's Hot' pinpoints the very latest ideas from the world's elite. A detailed table in the style of ECO is given at the close of the book, summarising the main variations with assessments. 'The Sicilian BB5' is the most popular and successful Anti-Sicilian Variation. It first came to attention when it was used by Vassily Ivanchuk to score a stunning win against Gary Kasparov at Linares in 1991. It has since become recognised as the perfect way to avoid mainline Sicilian theory without compromising White's attacking ideals. As such it has proved a deadly weapon in the hands of Adams and Grischuk -- and even Kasparov himself. In this book you will find full coverage of both 2!d6 3.Bb5+ and 2!Nc6 3.Bb5. You will be shown how to implement in your own games the ideas and attacking systems that have worked so successfully at the highest level.

Format:Taschenbuch
Sizilianisch mit 3. Lb5(+) erlebte in den vergangenen Jahren eine absolute Blütezeit und steht zur Zeit höher im Kurs als jemals zuvor. Das hat viele Gründe: als Anziehender kann man selbst vorgeben, dass ein Lb5-Sizi auf's Brett kommt, man umgeht damit so ausufernde Varianten wie Najdorf und den Drachen - vom Sweschnikow-Sizilianer einmal ganz abgesehen! So kann man die
Lieblingsvarianten seiner Gegner umgehen und Mittelspiele anvisieren, in denen man sein Wissen gezielt einbringen kann. Braucht man einen besseren Grund, um zu 3. Lb5(+) zu greifen? Okay, hier ist noch einer: nahezu die gesamte Weltelite hat schon einmal zu 3. Lb5(+) gegriffen und viele tun es regelmässig und der Erfolg gibt ihnen Recht!

Okay, hier ist noch einer: nahezu die gesamte Weltelite hat schon einmal zu 3. Lb5(+) gegriffen und viele tun es regelmässig und der Erfolg gibt ihnen Recht!
Es gibt viele Vorgänger zum Lb5-Sizilianer: einen Easy Guide von Pedersen, Kaufmann empfiehlt 3. Lb5(+) in seinem "Chess Advantage", GM Chandler hat zwei DVDs dazu herausgegeben, aber eines der komplettesten und besten Werke ist meiner Meinung nach IM Kraut's "Sizilianisch mit Lb5(+)", wenngleich dieser
aufgrund der Materialfülle leider auch etwas unübersichtlich geraten ist.
An das vorliegende Buch des britischen GM Neil McDonald kommen meiner Ansicht nach aber alle nicht heran! Es ist weniger eine Komplett-Darstellung der Theorie wie "der Kraut", dafür sind die Erklärungen McDonalds unübertrefflich! Die Partien sind für ihren Lehrwert einfach hervorragend ausgewählt und
hinterlassen beim eifrigen Leser einen bleibenden Eindruck. Typische Stellungen und Manöver merkt man sich besser, durch das 80-seitige Strategie-Kapitel lernt man, welche Stellungen man anpeilen und welche man vermeiden sollte, "Tricks and Traps" zeigt, welche Fehler am besten wie ausgenutzt werden können
und anhand der Test-Positionen kann man Erlerntes überprüfen oder später ggf. wieder auffrischen. Gut ist ebenfalls das 25-seitige Kapitel "Heroes and Zeros", in dem die eifrigsten Verfechter des Lb5-Sizis mit Musterpartien vorgestellt werden sowie der Abschnitt "What's hot?", wo McDonald die gerade aktuellsten Abspiele übersichtlich vorstellt.
McDonald gelingt auf 211 Seiten, was nur die besten Eröffnungsbücher schaffen: er hinterlässt einen starken Eindruck! Ich kann dieses Buch jedem empfehlen, der sich auch nur halbwegs für den Lb5-Sizi interessiert - ganz egal, wie hoch
oder niedrig die Wertungszahl ist! Solche Bücher machen einfach nur Spass!

Excellent introduction for intermediate players
9. September 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
One warning in advance: Tournament and master players who employ the Bb5-systems in their games will be disappointed by this book, which will bring them "nothing new" and which is not "complete" at all.
Still, at university the most popular books are not the complete ones, but those small guidebooks that prepare students who do not necessarily want to become Nobel laureates for their next exam, right?
McDonald's book is just like that: a fantastic introduction for the club player and players of up to, say, ELO 2.200. McDonald explains the strategies in such a clear, entertaining and didactically excellent way, that those players will learn a lot not only about this opening, but also about chess strategy as such. Though this is a rather slim work, he still presents enough theory for the reader to employ this system (Moscow and Rossolimo variations) in his own practice without fearing any nasty surprises.

From a new opening series
24. April 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
Kind of an interesting set up here. McDonald first walks quickly through what he identifies as the eight basic lines, then has a Heroes and Zeroes section that travels through the history of the line. Here, we are shown games from lines that are popular any more. It can be helpful to see the original ideas in Bb5 (such as Rossolimo's own aggressive ideas).
The Strategy chapter is 80 pages. Instead of organizing by moves, McD organizes by ideas: White plays c3-d4, Maroczy bind, and so on. This reminded me vaguely of Levy/O'Donnell's old Sicilian book where the moves themselves take a back seat to the ideas. It works, more or less, although it's perhaps more natural to think in terms of moves. A Details section at the end provides the closest thing to move lists, and even that is really just an index. Before that section, we have What's Hot (the newest ideas), Tricks and Traps, and 10 test positions that are mostly tactical.
Some might rather see more of a reference element organized by lines. Then again, Bb5 isn't as well-tread as other Sicilians. You don't have to cling to the main lines quite so deeply.
Ultimately, this is a nice book, better, I think, for mid-level class players than those 2000+. It made it easy for me to get a decent game with White at my Class B USCF level.

A good introduction to the Bb5 Sicilian
6. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm an expert-strength chess player (over 2000 elo) who is nevertheless only an occasional player with limited time to study openings. I've always struggled against the Sicilian, trying the open variations (3.d4), the Cutty Sark (2.f4) and the closed (3.g3) with depressing results.
McDonald's book excited me. After playing through all the games and analysis, I really think that I have finally found the answer to my Sicilian problems. However, all chess players are different, and my experience may not match your own.
The book's strengths lie in its broad coverage of strategies and interesting introductory games. It is especially useful for players seeking options for White, but players of the Black pieces should still be able to find a line that agrees with them.
The book has three weaknesses. Firstly, there are numerous typos. One example: on page 181 in the note to Black's 13th move, McDonald gives 15...Nf8 when he apparently means 15...Kf8. Secondly, the book is laid out in such a way that the material for individual lines is separated. A reader wishing to focus on one particular line has to wade through each chapter checking each game. The "Details" section on p103 does list individual games and page numbers, but it's still a bit of a chore for the reader to flip backwards and forwards through the book all the time and some of the analysis for individual positions is split. For example, the diagram on p106 gives 16.Nf3! as good for white, but neglects to mention the blunder 16.Ne3?? Qxh2!, which occurs in the puzzle section. Thirdly, some of the analysis is thin and suspect (to be expected in a general overview guide, I expect).
I had no difficulty understanding the explanations and annotations, but players at lower to mid-club level may be challenged in places.
The short list of strengths and long list of weaknesses gives the impression that I didn't like the book. This is not true: it was good and I don't regret my purchase. I simply want the prospective purchaser to understand the limitations.
The other option for readers wanting an introductory guide to this opening is Richard Palliser's The Bb5 Sicilian. I have not read that book and cannot offer a comparison. If anyone wants to send me a copy, I'd be happy to do so!
