The Shining Sveshnikov Sicilian
Always wanted to play like a World Champion? Search no further! With Magnus Carlsen using the Sveshnikov variation as his weapon of choice in the World Championship match against Fabiano Caruana, this DVD could not be better timed.
Since the World Championship match between Caruana and Carlsen the Sveshnikov opening is getting back to its level of popularity 15 years ago. Tonight we will discuss White's dynamic option with 9.♗xf6, which used to be the critical challenge of Black's ambitious approach. Nowadays this line has become less popular than the positional variation with 9.♘d5, while 7.♘d5 is currently White's main option since the WC match in London 2018. In this episode of the Fast & Furious we will discuss thematic ideas for both sides, as well as some recent developments in correspondence games. Fascinating attacking ideas will be shown!
