Overall
If I were a player considering the Sicilian Defense and picked up John Emms' book, The Sicilian Taimanov, I'd start playing it the next day.
Overall
I enjoy Emms' style in this book. There is a combination of a positive attitude towards the Taimanov and a confident voice behind the moves. This makes playing the line seem like a very pleasant possibility. I recommend this book to anyone thinking about going into a Sicilian full time, but doesn't want to be burdened with lots of heavy theory.
Overall
As an introduction to the Taimanov Sicilian, this book is as good as it gets.Emms clearly knows the nuances of this opening very well. Any prospective Sicilian player rated between 1600 and 2200 will do well to start with this particular book.***** (out of 6)
