Confront the Sicilian on Your Own Terms!

In 1982, the late Ken Smith's publishing house Chess Digest published the first edition of Andy Soltis' small monograph Beating the Sicilian, The Chameleon Variation. It was well received and a second edition came out in 1990. It proposed a very flexible way for White to handle the Sicilian Defense using the move order 1.e4, 2.Nc3 and 3.Nge2. It kept most of White's options open and allowed White to lure Black into unfamiliar territory.

The Sicilian jungle is vast. Unless you have a massive amount of time on your hands, it is an exhausting task to keep a sharp opening repertoire together against Black's numerous possibilities. It does not mean that it is impossible, nor does it mean that you shouldn't do it. But for the average player with an average amount of time available for chess studies, it is important to pick the right battles. This is where our weapon, the Chameleon Sicilian, comes in handy.

Would you be interested in possibly tricking Black into playing something he would otherwise not be inclined to play? That's where the Chameleon is useful!

Aside from its flexibility, the greatest strength of this opening is that it is so relatively unexplored. For some of the sub-variations, the author has used most of the master games that could find; for other lines, only the most relevant games. In any case, there are plenty of opportunities to explore further and find ideas of your own. This is fertile ground and your seeds could well sprout to become new branches of theory.

The journey of the Chameleon continues in this thorough, comprehensive update by well-known author Carsten Hansen.

Luxurious looking watch for great price
The watch is simple yet, it looks expensive. The material of the watchband is high quality and holds its shape well.

Stunning automatic watch — looks way more expensive than it is
Color: All Gold, Color: All Gold
I bought this OLEVS automatic as a gift for my husband and he was thrilled. The gold-tone finish is rich and consistent, the open-heart dial showing the movement is a beautiful touch, and the day/week sub-dials work smoothly. The caseback shows the automatic movement clearly — you can see the rotor spinning with every wrist movement. It feels comfortable and the bracelet is solid. For the price, this is an outstanding piece. He gets compliments every time he wears it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
