152 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. The Sicilian Defense is a chess opening that begins with the moves: 1. e4 c5. The Sicilian is the most popular and best-scoring response to White's first move 1.e4. "Indeed, most statistical surveys suggest that 1.d4 is the most successful first move for White, but only because 1...c5 scores so highly against 1.e4." New in Chess stated in its 2000 Yearbook that of the games in its database, White scored 56.1% in 296,200 games beginning 1.d4, but a full two percent lower (54.1%) in 349,855 games beginning 1.e4. "The main culprit responsible for this state of affairs" was the Sicilian, which held White to a paltry 52.3% score in 145,996 games. One sixth (17%) of all games between grandmasters, and one quarter (25%) of the games in the Chess Informant database, begin with the Sicilian. Condition: Jacket: Light edge wear else near fine in like jacket. Date: 1978. David McKay Company, Inc ISBN 0679130721 9780679130727 [US]
