Grandmaster Daniel Gormally is currently living in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. He has been a chess professional for over twenty years, in which time he has played in many tournaments both in the UK and abroad. He has represented England in the European team championships and the Olympiad. He has taken high placing in the British chess championships and on several occasions has placed in a tie for second. He is also the two times winner of the English rapid play championships. In 2005 he scored his final Grandmaster norm in a tournament in Gibraltar, where he scored a 2693 performance. In that tournament he played against several world-class grandmasters, including Nakamura, Aronian, Sutovsky and Dreev, and only lost one game. He is also the author of several well-received chess books, including A Year in the Chess World and Mating the Castled King, one of the few western chess books in recent years to be translated into Chinese. As an author he is known for his laid-back and humorous style, this is his third book for Thinkers Publishing.

'The Scheveningen is not only a variation in the Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 but also a complex (pawns on …e6 and …d6) which can come about from a variety of Sicilian variations including the Najdorf, Taimanov and Paulsen (Kan). As such it is a system that anyone with has a mainline 1.e4 repertoire or who plays Sicilians with a …e6 and …d6 pawn structures needs to be familiar with. English Grandmaster Danny Gormally’s The Scheveningen Sicilian Revisited: A Complete Repertoire for the Sicilian Player, which centers around well-annotated model games, is not so much a theoretical work as a guide to typical middlegame positions that arise from the Scheveningen. It should prove useful for players rated below 2400 FIDE who want to understand the typical plans for both sides in this opening.'—IM John Donaldson, Berkeley, January 2025
