Good Luck....
As white, the one defense that gives me real headaches is the sicilian.
I adopted the Grand Prix defense, but it just isn't working out. I find it is slow (especially the white bishop maneuvers), and my pieces end up tripping over one another on the kingside once they get there.
I need to seriously slot this one out, and replace it something else.
Any suggestions on a particular defense or set of defenses? And in addition, do you know of any repertoire style books on the subject?
I'm thinking either taking up the open (2. Nf3), or perhaps moving to another "shortcut" like 2.c3, but I'm worried additional shortcuts will just result in more of the same (beatings - harsh merciless beatings). :-)
