Nowadays many players are so afraid of meeting it that they resort to sidelines against the Sicilian. Even Vishy Anand abandoned the open Sicilian after one single Sveshnikov encounter in his world title match against Boris Gelfand.
In Grandmaster Repertoire 18, The Sicilian Sveshnikov, opening connoisseur Vassilios Kotronias places this bold system under the microscope and provides a world class repertoire for Black.Kotronias Sveshnikov is sound, adventurous, dynamic and brilliant.
