Essential Guidance and Training in The Sicilian Sveshnikov
The Sveshnikov is a very important variation of the Sicilian Defence pioneered by Russian grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov in the 1970s and has since become a popular choice for Black at all levels, from club player to grandmaster.
One of the Sveshnikov’s main attractions is that it provides a battleground for one of the key conflicts in chess: structure versus activity. Black sacrifices structure in return for active piece play – a dynamic that regularly leads to sharp and complex positions, rich in strategic and tactical possibilities.
In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites the reader to join him in studying the Sveshnikov Sicilian. This book tells you everything you need to know about playing the Sveshnikov Sicilian with Black.
