Not for the faint of heart, “this book is a collection of well-analysed games featuring thematic, active piece sacrifices by White in the Open Sicilian,” the authors write. The sacrifices examined are those in which White does not recoup the material right away, and they include Nd5, Nxe6, Bxe6, Nf5 N(x)b5, and B(x)b5, with a final chapter devoted to Bd5, Rxf6, and miscellaneous sacrifices.
Each chapter is organized in the same manner. A brief introduction is provided wherein the authors discuss the primary themes involved in the specific sacrifice. This is then followed by a series of complete and well-annotated games illustrating the issue at hand. There are 109 games in total.
