The Rossolimo has always been one of the trickiest anti-Sicilian defenses, and since the rise of modern engines post-COVID, it’s become even more challenging for Black. I’ve got a fresh, straightforward approach that will have you putting pressure on your opponent from the very first move.

Whether it’s through the main lines or sneaky sideline ideas, you’ll be in control, making it much harder for Black to find their footing.
