Item description from seller

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. The seemingly modest d6e6 pawn centre affords Black a solid defensive barrier, control of the critical d5 and e5 squares, and retains flexibility to break in the centre with either .e5 or .d5. Black can proceed with rapid development, and the opening provides sound counter chances and considerable scope for creativity. Condition: Corners bumped, edge wear else every good.
