We are excited to unveil a brand new live camp on Nurtr, "Comprehensive Classical Sicilian for Black", masterfully instructed by Grandmaster Boris Avrukh. Renowned for his analytical acumen and experiences as an analyst for World Championship finalists, Avrukh provides his expert insights into the nuances of the Sicilian Defense through this all-encompassing live course.
The Sicilian Classical Variation is a potent strategy to exert pressure on White's center. In this dynamic approach, Black gives priority to the quick development of both knights to their most active squares. The goal is to construct a robust defense while simultaneously carving out opportunities for counterattacks. The course underscores strategic factors and tactical considerations, presenting substantial counter-play without incurring excessive risk. This course is optimally suited for those with a strength level of 1600 and above, and equally beneficial for anyone keen to navigate the intriguing landscape of the Sicilian.
The course unfolds over 12 meticulously planned sessions, each honing in on a distinct facet of the Sicilian Defense. The syllabus extends from probing sidelines that emerge after White's second move, to the Alapin Variation, to probing rare lines on move 6 for White. Each session is crafted to confer players with profound understanding of various strategies and tactics that can manifest in Sicilian Classical Systems.
