♕ Typical ideas and plans in the Sicilian Sveshnikov – https://goo.gl/J6Bvey

The Sicilian Sveshnikov variation is very aggressive, where Black fights for the initiative right from the beginning of the game. It has the following move order: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5 6.Ndb5 d6.

This opening variation is named after a Russian Grandmaster, Evegny Sveshnikov, who was the main driving force of the variation in the 1970’s. In this video, RCA guest coach, FM Marko Makaj will explain to you the typical ideas and plans in this variation by showing you the main line and its variations.
