Fra forlagets utvalgte anmeldelser av boken (engelsk):
PRAISE FOR THE ORIGINAL 2009 EDITION:
Arne Moll, ChessVibes:
“A total knockout.”
John Anderson, British Correspondence Chess Association:
“Bang up-to-date and very user-friendly.”
Grandmaster Glenn Flear:
“Impressive and highly recommended.”
Michael Mkpadi, ChessHot:
“This book has to get extra credit for having a very generous selection of recent games at the highest level. The chapter have summaries and the themes and strategic ideas are highlighted in a very accessible and exciting format (..) This book’s new edition is so good it made me regret all the White games where I had be slaughtered by Black because I did not know how to handle Black’s Sicilian variation.”
Florian Jacobs, Max Euwe Centre Amsterdam:
“An essential book for club players who wish to combat the Open Sicilian in a fundamental way.”
Elburg Chess Reviews:
“A smashing update!”
IM John Donaldson:
“A bonus chapter at the end of the book entitled ‘What others recommend and why I disagree’ (..) includes lines that don’t necessarily fit into the finale repertoire Illingworth is advocating, but which helps explain why he chose what he did. There is some fascinating stuff here, and the non-professional will be surprised how theory has changed (..) These new advances can be seen in Illingworth’s assessment of the health of various Sicilian lines these days (..) Numerous well-annotated model games supplement the theoretical sections of each chapter, making this book accessible for a wide range of players.”
