Sveshnikov vs. the Anti-Sicilians

Sveshnikov vs. the Anti-Sicilians

The Sicilian Defence is Blacks most popular reply to 1.e4. Most Black players hope for an Open Sicilian, seeking unbalanced positions and opportunities to play for a win. No wonder that in roughly one-third of the games White does not play 2.Nf3 and chooses one of numerous Anti-Sicilian lines.  Ranging from primitive and agressive to respected but tedious, these Anti-Sicilians have one thing in common: they all cross Black's plans and steer for territories where it is easy to get ambushed.

The Chameleon Variation: Confronting the Sicilian on Your Own Terms

Confront the Sicilian on Your Own Terms! In 1982, the late Ken Smiths publishing house Chess Digest published the first edition of Andy Soltis small monograph Beating the Sicilian, The Chameleon Variation. It was well received and a second edition came out in 1990. It proposed a very flexible way for White to handle the Sicilian Defense using the move order 1.e4, 2.Nc3 and 3.Nge2. It kept most of Whites options open and allowed White to lure Black into unfamiliar territory. The Sicilian jungle is va

The Complete French Advance: The Most Uncompromising Way to Attack the French Defence

The Complete French Advance: The Most Uncompromising Way to Attack the French Defence

The Advance Variation is the most ambitious way to meet the solid French Defence. Its popularity among club players is not difficult to understand: by advancing the e-pawn to e5 on the third move, White not only gains space but also blocks in Blacks c8-bishop and hampers Blacks kingside development by taking away the f6-square. Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov has played the Advance Variation in countless games with excellent results and is, as former World Champion Anatoly Karpov puts it, the world exper
