Good Value

The beauty of the Closed Sicilian is that someone with only a little knowledge can play the opening with confidence. Lane presents lots of annotated games to explain how and why White should develop his pieces. The emphasis is on creating a plan which means there is no need to learn a maze of variations. It certainly works because in my own games I have played in the same style of Spassky thanks to the author's clear explanation. I already own several of Lane's books and this is one of the best.
