About This Video:

The Bb5 Sicilian is one of my favorite chess openings of all time. I have been playing it exclusively against the Sicilian Defense for over 20 years. I have learned lots of different lines and variations and highly recommend the Bb5 Sicilian to players of all levels. It is also known as the Moscow or the Rossolimo depending on if black plays the d6 version or the Nc6 version.
