This video course offers you a complete repertoire for Black against the Open Sicilian: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6. Compared to many other main variations of the Sicilian, the Taimanov Variation is a flexible option which doesnt feature too many long, forced variations that you need to memorise in order to maintain the balance.
