Welcome to the O’Kelly Sicilian course! For players who enjoy surprise, creativity, tactical trickery, and sound positional play, this opening offers an exciting combination of all four. Beginning with 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 a6, the O’Kelly is a powerful weapon that takes opponents out of their comfort zones from the very start. It has been one of my favourite openings, and I’ve used it in FIDE-rated classical tournaments as well as in many online games!
