Sicilian Classical
Black's complete intermediate repertoire in the Sicilian Classical (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6). Seven drills cover the Richter-Rauzer mainline with ...a6, the Bondarevsky 7...Be7, the Boleslavsky 6.Be2 e5, the English Attack 6.Be3 e5, the Sozin 6.Bc4 with ...Na5, the Fianchetto 6.g3, and the Anti-Sicilian 6.f3.
The Sicilian Classical (1.e4 c5 ... 5.Nc3 d6 with ...Nc6) is the move-order that keeps every Sicilian door open — Rauzer, Boleslavsky, English Attack, Sozin, Fianchetto. This pack drills the seven essential White tries with a complete, intermediate-level reply for each: the Rauzer mainline with ...a6 / ...Bd7 / ...O-O-O, the Bondarevsky 7...Be7 with ...Nxd4 / ...Qa5, the Boleslavsky structure with ...e5 / ...Be6, the principled ...e5 against the English Attack 6.Be3, the ...Na5 plan vs the Sozin bishop on c4, classical development vs the Fianchetto, and the ...e5 punishment of the slow 6.f3. Thirty exam positions sharpen the key decisions — Bxd5 vs Nxd5, ...e5 timing, the ...b5 break, queenside castling races — so every White 6th move has a prepared, principled Black answer.
