Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 71 pages with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/4' x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. In chess, the Scheveningen Variation of the Sicilian Defence is an opening that is a line of the Open Sicilian characterised by Black setting up a "small centre" with pawns on d6 and e6. There are numerous move orders that reach the Scheveningen; a common one is: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 e6.
