"In his book about the Sicilian Wing Gambit (1.e4 c5 2.b4 cxb43.a3) Marcus Schmücker takes a closer look at a very interest-ing opening, which for a long time has been regarded as adaredevil's approach or, at best, as an exotic option to avoid theenormous theoretical material of the Sicilian Defence. As amatter of fact, the idea of this gambit is quite serious. By elimi-nating Black's c-pawn and ensuring a swift development of hisqueen side, White wants to obtain positional compensation forthe sacrificed pawn.
The author concentrates on the best answer 3...d5, which en-ables Black to prevent his opponent from building a strong cen-ter with pawns on e4 and d4. The often ensuing sharp tacticalskirmishes in most cases fill white spots on the theoretical maps. White has good chances to obtain advantage early on, whichcan even lead to a quick win if the opponent is completely un-prepared.
Of course, it's not to be expected that the Sicilian Wing Gambitwill be used more often in GM tournaments from now on. Butmaybe the book can encourage more main stream players toinclude this neglected but serious anti-Sicilian weapon in theiropening repertoire. Whether the popularity of this gambit willgrow depends, however, on its success in practical games.It's the author's intention to treat all alternatives of the 'standardmove' 3... d5 in a second volume."
