A big devotee of the 2c3 Sicilian, which IMO could have been mentioned :)

It is - by its alternative name, the "Sicilian Alapin".

A very belated happy 55th Birthday Susan.
I have a copy of her book:
Your Chess Questions answered 1999 Edition by Batsford.
A very enjoyable read and I would recommend people who are new to competitive Chess and people learning Chess at home buy a copy.
It's aimed for people who know the moves but want to know more.
