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.
Last week we had a look at the perfect start of Jorden van Foreest at the Dutch Championship. While Jorden kept leading the tournament all the way, his younger brother Lucas van Foreest started catching up by winning one game after the other and eventually they shared first place. Together with my good friend IM Alex Wohl from Australia I had a look at the last round encounter Lucas van Foreest vs Erik van den Doel.
