This is his first book for Quality Chess.ISBN: 978-1-906552-57-2  168 pages - Published 31 March 2010Reviews "It is clear that Pavlovic has invested immense effort in making the books as comprehensive, up-to-date and helpful as possible... These books can be given the highest recommendation to serious over-the-board and correspondence players who want to have the best available information on the chosen variations in a well organised and well-packaged form. *****"Phil Adams "I recommend The Open Sicilian 1 for players that are interested in how various lines in the Sicilian might be refuted according to the current cutting edge theory and are looking for valuable new ideas that would work very well as surprise weapons. 4 Stars"GM Hedinn Steingrimsson, Chess Today "This is the first in an exciting new series from Quality Chess which examines the absolute cutting edge of opening theory. The big idea is to identify the most important current theoretical battlegrounds and analyse them as deeply as possible in search of improvements and important ideas. So, irrespective of which colour you  play, you will have access to the very latest material backed up by original analysis from a seasoned Grandmaster. This volume offers three(!) ways to try to beat the Sveshnikov... Amazing! Regular readers of this column will know how unimpressed I have been with some of the recent published attempts on how to play against this defence but here we have three highly instructive and well researched weapons. All three lines are dealt with in impressive detail (as are all the chapters in the book) and the serious CC player will not be disappointed.As well as combating the Pelikan, there are three chapters on the 9.Bc4 Yugoslav Dragon dealing with the Chinese (Rb8 instead of Rc8), 12 Kb1 Re8 and Topalov (Nxd4 and early b5) variations, three Chapters on the Taimanov and two more on the Kan complete the work. Offering different ideas against a Main Line is a very interesting concept and, given that so much information is packed into this thin volume, I would have to say it is one of the most impressive opening books I have ever seen."John Anderson, BCCA "This book, the first in a new series from Quality Chess, is aimed at those who want an up to date guide of where theory stands (and where it is likely to head) in important theoretical battlegrounds... This approach is something new. The analysis is more detailed and the coverage more cohesive than offered in most New in Chess Yearbook Surveys or at Chess Publishing.com. T
