Level - Advanced players
Have you ever dreamed about playing Sicilian positions similar to what Kasparov used to play with great success? Going for Scheveningen systems out of Najdorf requires a lot of theoretical knowledge, moreover it looks like Black has been struggling in those positions. What if I would tell you that there is another line, where you can obtain Scheveningen pawnstructure (in most of the lines), but it's not as popular as Najdorf, or 5...e6 variation? For quite some time I have been dreaming about finding somewhat not well-known Sicilian, which is very playable for Black. I believe I succeeded to find one! I am very excited to introduce new concept in 4...Qb6 (Grivas variation) variation. There have been serious issues in old-fashioned 4...Qb6 variation, that's why a new move order should work much better. The Database should work for any level starting from 1600 and all the way to titled players!
