Today I played an immensely useful training game, both because of the opening, and because of the endgame.

It was a Sveshnikov Sicilian, one of my main defenses with black against e4. My opponent surprised me with a (bad) move I’ve never seen before, and I made a serious mistake. So that is a deviation I will now remember!

Even so, I played well and managed to get into a winning endgame. Winning in theory that is. And theory and practice are the same in theory but… You know the rest, you watched Ben Finegold’s videos.

Looks like it’s back to Dvoretsky’s Endgame Manual for me!

Here is the game:
