Topic: Evgeny Sveshnikov


  
  Evgeny Sveshnikov Information
It is however the work that Sveshnikov did with his close friend Grandmaster Gennady Timoschenko during the 1960s and 1970s that bears greatest testimony to his chess achievements.
Previously known as the Lasker-Pelikan variation of the Sicilian Defence, Sveshnikov's system was considered of dubious merit until he transformed it into an exciting and fully playable opening.
Sveshnikov has also been a pioneer in the development of the Advance Variation of the French Defence.

The Sveshnikov Sicilian is one of those openings where you either come home with your shield or get carried home on it.
It shares this trait in common with a lot of other Sicilians but it is a topical opening where the theory is constantly evolving and it is ideal for those players who like a sharp contest and enjoy fighting for the initiative right out of the opening.
The Sveshnikov proper is 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5.

 The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
Former Russian national chess coach Grand Master (GM) Evgeny Sveshnikov is relishing coaching the Indonesian chess team for the upcoming Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
Sveshnikov coached the then-Soviet Union chess team for about ten years in the 1980s before assuming coaching roles in Latvia, Yugoslavia, Slovenia, the United States, Canada and Tunisia.
The inventor of the Sveshnikov Variation will start his job in October, with a one-month contract extension a likely option, conditional on the coach's performance and the availability of the funds.

GM Lautier: In addition to a sponsored professional circuit of tournaments, which I have already discussed at length, the ACP will research what can be done in terms of defending the players' copyrights to their games.
It is hard not to agree with Grandmaster Evgeny Sveshnikov, when he points out how unfair it is when chess organizers, writers and other players use the fruits of his analysis and work shown in his games to earn money without paying him any tribute.
We see Lautier and Sveshnikov have used the fruits of my analysis and work shown in my game to earn money (prize in the tournament and royalty for the book) and glory for victory over the famous opponent without paying me any tribute.

Today the Sveshnikov variation is one of the most popular counters for fl in a Sicilian Opening.
To be absolutely accurate, Kostenjuk did not chose the typical order of moves for the Sveshnikov variation, but made the advance e7-e5 before developing her king’s knight.

 N; Chess: Tense and Exciting Gambit That Pays Off in a Victory - New York Times
No matter how many gambits you have faced before, the next one always poses a challenge of tense, exciting play where it is difficult to keep one's balance.
A typical gambit, but one that is comparatively rare, can be seen in the game between two grandmasters, Evgeny Sveshnikov and Vitaly Zeshkovsky, in the U.S.S.R. Championship, in which Sveshnikov took a hard fall.
Hence, Sveshnikov accepted it in a different way, 6 BxPch, KxB; 7 Q-Q5ch, P -K3; 8 QxN/4 with the thought that the misplaced fl king would r etard counterattack.

ABOUT six years ago, there was a strange tale reported of a top player competing in a big open in Slovenia who, rather than being named, simply wished to be known for that event as "GM 2595".
The Grandmaster in question turned out to be Russia's Evgeny Sveshnikov, who took the radical stance of wanting to change his name for every event he played in thereafter because he saw it as a threat to his livelihood.
The proliferation of chess databases and analytical playing engines also forced him to abandon the ultra-sharp openings he used to play, particularly the popular Sveshnikov variation in the Sicilian Defence that was named after him.

 Sicilian Defence- Chesspedia, the free chess encyclopedia
This variation (pioneered by Evgeny Sveshnikov) has become very popular in master level chess.
Black's 5...e5 looks very illogical, making the d6 pawn backward and potentially weak, and the d5 square is now a hole in the Black position.
The most important variations here are the Rossolimo, Kalashnikov, Sveshnikov and Accelerated Dragon.

In the Sveshnikov and the Kalashniknov (both early loves of mine), Black serves up the outpost without a fight in exchange for counterplay.
There's an old story that during an analysis session many years ago, former World Champion Tigran Petrosian accosted Evgeny Sveshnikov and asked him why he persisted in playing this unprincipled variation of the Sicilian that has come to bear his name.
Understand that I love the Sveshnikov and the immediacy of Black's counterplay, but I would be reluctant to call it logical.

Of course many commentators are quite qualified to analyze games of the GM elite, but when we speak of someone who had played with them for so many years, knows all of them personally and played not only with them but also with their predecessors of the older generations, you always get something extra.
Some of the younger ones might not even know that the line is actually named after a person (Russian GM Evgeny Sveshnikov) let alone the evolution of the opening.
In a reminiscent voice he mentioned how he, himself was a witness to the debut of this variation when Sveshnikov played it for the first time against none other than former World Champion Boris Spassky.

 19th June 2003 - The Scotsman - Chess News - World Chess Network   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The GM in question turned out to be Russia's Evgeny Sveshnikov, who took the radical stance of trying to change his name as he saw it as a threat to his livelihood with all his games appearing on chess databases.
His argument was that it made it easier for weaker opponents to prepare against him in the large European Opens he had to compete in to earn a living, following the demise of the Soviet Union.
Apparently Sveshnikov was at it again, and was behind a revolt at the recent Russian Team Championships that took place May 16-25 in Tolghiatti (part of the Penza Region), as the players voted not to publish the scores of the games on the internet.

The game usually continues with a sequence focusing on white's d4 pawn: 3...c5 4.

The Sveshnikov Variation was pioneered by Evgeny Sveshnikov and Gennadi Timoshchenko in the 1970s.
Emanuel Lasker employed the move in his world championship match against Carl Schlechter, and Jorge Pelikan played it a few times in the 1950s, but Sveshnikov's treatment of the variation was the key to its revitalization.

Here is an opinion of one of the participants of the first tournament, GM Evgeny Sveshnikov: "From my trip to the far northern Siberian land I brought a certitude that Karpov's enterprise would not die.
Four months ago in the Poikovsky settlement (!) a nice chess club has been established where the Karpov chess school operates.
Many new workplaces have been created for the chess professionals and opening of the schools enables many young international masters and grandmasters to look in the future with confidence." Sveshnikov scored then +2 and shared 3-4 places with Jaan Ehlvest.

 Chessville Reviews - Match for the World Chess Champioinship: Botvinnik – David Bronstein, Moscow 1951- by Mikhail ...
Half of them are annotated by Mikhail Botvinnik, while six are annotated by Eugeny Sveshnikov, two by Salo Flohr, and one each by Grigory Levenfish, Pyotr Romanovsky and Andrei Lilienthal.
Half of the annotations in the match games are by the winner: M. Botvinnik analyses 10, Evgeny Sveshnikov covers 3, Vasily Smyslov does 2, and Vyacheslav Ragozin, Lev Aronin, Alexander Kotov, Alexander Tolush and Yuri Razuvaev each annotate one game.
The final contest includes “notes by Salo Flohr and Mikhail Botvinnik.” The different notes clearly come from different time periods (Sveshnikov refers to the computer programs Junior 7, Fritz 6 and Hiarcs 7) – but, again, there is no indication of the sources.

The way Evgeny Sveshnikov searches for truth in dazzling variations, never losing sight of the big picture, is most instructive.
This book is obviously the fruit of enormous creativity, hard work, and a large dosis of perfectionism.
