The very sharp and positionally risky Sveshnikov Variation of the
Sicilian generally starts with 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e5. Black forces action in the center at the cost of permanently accepting a weaker d5 square, on which White will ultimately try to settle a
knight or a bishop. Often in this line White plays Bc1-g5xf6 to further weaken Black's grip on d5, although then Black can develop counterplay on the dark squares. |
