Chess Opening - Sicilian Defense, Sveshnikov Variation

[TheVladimirtk]

dude, even though you presented the line.. its obvious your understanding on the sveshnikov because you say having double pawns on the f file in that position is good because you can push the f pawn two times.. wrong if it were like that then 1.e4 e5 2.nf6 d6 3 nc3 bg4 4. Bc4 Bxf3 5. gxf3 would be the best move because you can push the f pawn twice..

@TheVladimirtk

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. '2.nf6?' .

And in some sveshnikov variations having doubled f or e pawns is a strength.

ALso you're comparing philladors defence to a sicilian...two completely different openings with completely different themes and goals.

Good video. Sure wish you would quit sucking your teeth though.

Siobaras is right for one thing : the main line after 8...b5 is 9. Nd5. But more then often it continues along this line :

9...Be7 10. Bxf6 Bxf6 11. c3 O-O 12. Nc2 Bg5 13. a4 bxa4 14. Rxa4 a5 15.Bc4 Rb8 16. b3 Kh8 17. 0-0 f5 18. exf5 Bxf5 with roughly an equal game.

Pretty good explanations behind the opening moves of the Sveshnikov. Its imperative I learn how to play this opening as I'm encountering this variation of the Sicilian very frequently.

[Syncdev]

I'm having a little trouble understanding this, at 7:31, what prevents white from taking b5? Wouldn't he win a pawn?

[Fireslynk]

and if white doesnt want to trade his second pawn on his 3rd move? doesnt that put us in a weaker position. this strategy relies on the other player willingly sacraficing good pieces as though they cant see more than 3 moves ahead

[parazitu10]

you are a very week player I can see that !

[TheKingtut777]

good job!!

[Siobaras]

Nice video!

However there is another critical variation. Instead of Bg5 ( 9:35 ) white can play Nd5, and on a3 he plays Ndc3. That's a bad position for black, so, on Nd5 we have to reply NxN, exN and then either Ne7 or Nb8! which is actually best, with the idea of re-routing the knight to d7.

Keep up the good work!

[zebra00024]

What if after

x. Bg5 a3

x. B:f6 threatening either take a queen or make fork on c7?

[supersteelpokemon]

Actually, the people who studied the Sveshnikov down and thorugh were Evegeny Sveshnikov and Gennady Timoschenko. You also forgot to mention it was played by Pelikan in the 50s and sometimes by Larsen

@supersteelpokemon chut yo bich ass up

[youvebeensmoked]

you sound like kevin from the office

[gtamateur]

how u play again the rossolimo Bb5? because if u play again some1 who dont know a lot the sveniskhov he will problably play simple chess like that

[knighttango]

alright ima try to play it now..

[supersteelpokemon]

btw, why didn't you make a vid reviewing my favourite variation, when white plays Nd5 before taking the knight. it is probably the most popular one

[supersteelpokemon]

Yeah, it actually doesn't give white the advantage because after he takes and

dxc6, Black gets to control the middle with his queen so white can't play d4 anymore which is proved lethal in one game i saw

[Syncdev]

No it doesnt, white trades off his valuable white squared bishop and the c pawn can be easily defended.

[vampireman25]

if he takes bishop with queen, then Nd5, Qd8 c4 b4 Qa4 Bd7 Nb5 like you said, what about black playing Nd4, pinning the knight to the Queen

[RapidGeneralX]

857 y not Nxd5

[samurai20001]

Great !!! learned something new .

Cant wait for your next video.

[scsteeldrums]

you make a loud clicking noise when you open your mouth which is really distracting, but thanks for the vid!

[halette20001]

Thanks for this video. I'll try the sveshnikov. Looks very exciting.

[0tt0kruegar]
