Playing the Sveshnikov

En rykende aktuell bok om å spille Sveshnikov-varianten som har blitt popularisert igjen av Magnus Carlsens vellykkede bruk i VM. "...the best variation of the Sicilian Defence, in my opinion", skriver forfatteren selv i forordet.

Også en ryddig og behagelig bok med mange diagrammer, servert av Quality Chess som fortsatt er det ledende forlaget når det gjelder åpningsbøker som holder mål også på mester- og elitenivå.

Forlagets egen omtale:

The Sicilian Sveshnikov arises after the opening moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5 , and is an ideal weapon based on sound principles of fast development and seizing central space. Decades of practical testing and analysis have proved the theoretical soundness of Black’s system, and its dynamic counterattacking potential makes it a popular choice among club players and top grandmasters alike.

Serbian grandmaster Milos Pavlovic is a lifelong Sveshnikov player as well as an experienced chess trainer, making him the ideal guide to this opening. Playing the Sveshnikov offers a complete repertoire for Black in the Sveshnikov, including secondary recommendations against certain key variations. With top-class analysis, novelties galore and thoughtful explanations, this book provides everything you need to learn and play the Sveshnikov with success.

Milos Pavlovic is a former Yugoslav Champion who has held the grandmaster title since 1993. An experienced tournament competitor, theoretician and FIDE Trainer, he is an expert on the Sveshnikov, having played both sides of it for most of his chess career.
