The Sveshnikov Variation of the Sicilian Defence provides a
battleground for one of the key conflicts in chess: structure versus
activity. Black voluntarily accepts a weak pawn formation but in return
obtains easy development and excellent piece activity. This is a line
that finds favour with aggressive, attacking players who are confident
in their tactical ability. The idea of playing ...e5 in the Sicilian is
an old one but the modern Sveshnikov treatment was developed in the
1970s, since when it has featured in the repertoires of numerous elite
players. It is currently experiencing great popularity due to the fact
that it was Magnus Carlsen's choice in his World Championship Match
against Fabiano Caruana in London 2018. Carlsen's success with the line
was a significant factor in his eventual victory in the match. Since
then he has continued to use the Sveshnikov with great success.
