The Sicilian openings are an integral part of every chess players arsenal. The variety of the openings and the follow on play can be very tactical or positional depending on the player and white's reactions. This is the first of a number of tournaments that I will run exploring the Sicilian in its more prevalent variations. This will be good practice for the better players and a good learning experience for those of us new to the Sicilian continuations. Enjoy! Cheers.
