c3 Sicilian [B22]

The forum section of the Chess Publishing site dictated this month's analysis. The player who calls himself 'Tigger' suggested a thought-provoking novelty, which claims to destroy analysis published in recent books, and it works!

Tigger and Lane analysis looks at a line a line in the C3 Sicilian with 2...b6, which is good for Black.

Garcia Callejo -Kogan is an example of how Black reaches equality and then goes on to victory.

If you are still not sure if the Grandmaster knows what he is doing then Cooper-Kogan is another example of Black keeping faith with a relatively little-known system and another victory is obtained.

The game Lucchetti-Sebag sees White playing an obvious move but it loses a pawn after just 11 moves.
