Dallas TX: Chess Digest, 1993. -- 121 p. -- ISBN: 9780875682358 If white gets to attack in the Sicilian Defense anyway, why should he offer a pawn or two for the privilege? The answer is that black gets to counterplay in the Sicilian and his counterplay is usually as good as white's. That, in fact, is what makes the Sicilian popular.

Here are six new white gambits against the Sicilian that the reader will have to attempt to destroy black!
