Adrian Mikhalchishin: How Bobby Fischer battled the Sicilian Bobby Fischer was
a devoted Sicilian player. But the American chess genius and 11th World
Champion was also a devoted 1.e4 (Best by test as he said) player, and his
results against the Sicilian are remarkable. In almost all variations he came
up with new ideas and developed systems of his own - such as 6.Bc4 (one of his
pet moves) against the Najdorf, and the Rauzer. Fischer liked to play
aggressive but basically sound lines against the Sicilian and many of his
variations are still very much alive and a good choice for players of all
levels. - Najdorf - Accelerated Dragon - Sozin-Attack - Rossolimo -
