No opening in recent times has captured the imagination of the
chess public more than the Sicilian Sveshnikov. Initially
popularized in the 1970s, the Sveshnikov has exploded onto the
chess scene at the highest levels and is now regarded by many
experts as one of Black's most promising answers to 1 e4. One of
its major attractions is that more often than not the opening leads
to incredibly sharp and complex play. In such situations both sides
must play with extreme accuracy just to stay on the board as a
single slip may lead to disaster! This uncompromising and modern
approach with the black pieces has found favour with many of
today's leading Grandmasters, including Peter Leko and World
Champion Vladimir Kramnik, while Garry Kasparov also began playing
it towards the end of his career.
This book is a further addition to Everyman's best-selling
"Starting Out" series, which has been acclaimed for its original
approach to tackling chess openings. International Master John Cox
revisits the fundamentals of the Sveshnikov, elaborating on the
crucial early moves and ideas for both sides in a way that is often
neglected in other texts. The reader is helped throughout with a
plethora of notes, tips and warnings highlighting the vital
characteristics of the Sicilian Sveshnikov and of opening play in
general. "Starting Out: Sicilian Sveshnikov" is a perfect guide for
improving players and those new to this opening.
