Reddit/chess decided that an "opening of the week" presentation would be a great way for everyone to improve their chess, and this week (Feb. 1st - 7th) will be mine, covering the Open Sicilian.

Follow the discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/chess/comments/43yqjz/reddit_ootw_5_the_open_sicilian/

This video is the first in a series that takes a deeper dive into the theoretical intricacies of specific variations of the Open Sicilian. Covered here are the Sveshnikov and Kalashnikov, two lines with one thing in common - Black enforces a very early ...e5 push.
