Grandmaster Repertoire 18 - The Sicilian Sveshnikov by Vassilios Kotronias is a hardcover chess repertoire book that focuses on one of the sharpest branches of the Sicilian Defence and presents it as a practical modern repertoire for Black.
What this book covers
The Sveshnikov Variation has long appealed to ambitious club players and top-level competitors because it leads to active play from the very first moves. Kotronias examines the system in depth, setting out the key ideas, typical plans and practical ways to use it in tournament play.
