The Sveshnikov Variation of the Sicilian Defence provides a
battleground for one of the key conflicts in chess: structure
versus activity. Black voluntarily accepts a weak pawn formation
but in return obtains easy development and excellent piece
activity. This is a line that finds favour with aggressive,
attacking players who are confident in their tactical ability. The
idea of playing ...e5 in the Sicilian is an old one but the modern
Sveshnikov treatment was developed in the 1970s, since when it has
featured in the repertoires of numerous elite players. It is
currently experiencing great popularity due to the fact that it was
Magnus Carlsen's choice in his World Championship Match against
Fabiano Caruana in London 2018. Carlsen's success with the line was
a significant factor in his eventual victory in the match. Since
then he has continued to use the Sveshnikov with great success. In
