RIP GM Evgeny Sveshnikov, a legend has left us today! :'( (18/08/2021)

[@michakopczynski3583]

Evgeny Sveschnikov, the Great Maestro of the chessboard passed away last week. I studied his games since the late 1970s. I always tried to follow his opening repertoire. RIP.

[@mikestubbs1708]

Wow -here in Oz we are at the Winter Solstice...and I'm playing in a Correspondence Theme tourney of the Sveshnikov opening [B33]. Having just located this video is amazing!! Feel I'm doing him an honor at this time! Any more videos of this man in action, please?!

[@juanluisgutierrezcoll3547]

Sveshnikov playing the Sveshnikov!

[@Soissesglaubsmir]

This was not Sveshnikov, but Kalashnikov defence, because he played 4...e5 instead of 4...Nf6! Since ages Sveshnikov nearly always plays only Kalashnikov

[@beloglavisup2]

Transposition, but still good game

[@Grandcapi]

@@beloglavisup2 I do not think it is a transposition. In the so called normal line ...a6 and b5 are played (after ...Nf6, of course) but here there is already a pawn on a4.

[@Grandcapi]

And there is an interesting line 4...e5 5.Nb5 a6 when 6.Nd6+ might be answered with ...Bd6 7.Qd6 and Qe7 or Qf6. The move Qe7 is often played by the chinese GM Lao Chi.

@@Grandcapi Chao Li? lol

[@csabahalasz2637]

@@Grandcapi This is a Sveshnikov with transposition. That is the very same variation which you can create via 1. e4 c5 2. Hf3 Hc6 3. d4 cd: 4. Hd4: Hf6 5. Hc3 e5 6. Hdb5 d6 7. a4 a6 8. Ha3 Fe7 as well which is a well-known side variation in the Sveshnikov

He is a Legend.

[@williameckert306]

Evgeny still has it!

[@mindhanter6778]

20:13 R:a6?

[@Gaba-oo4qb]

After black played Be6 to give extra protection to the knight. White should have played Rh - Re1 attacking the pawn on e4. But instead, she just drained up like 3+ minutes on her clock and played the passive move Rd2 which I did not understand. I mean I understand it's prophelactic move so that she adds extra protection to her pawn on c2 since black has the open C-file. I just thought it was played a little prematurely by her and she used up a ton of time on the clock!!! And also, I thought that castling queen-side was inaccurate by white. She had a queenside pawn majority. Better to have castled king-side and try to take advantage of the queenside pawn majority while defending against the potentially passed pawn on e4.

[@akaakaakaak5779]

I assume the idea behind Rd2 was to follow it up with Rhd1. If you had two moves in a row, you'd play that. I think she panicked as she was using too much time and just went for that without considering he can just move the knight before she can play Rhd1

[@DucktailsBartendingBH]

Knight is trapped in e5, guess thats why she spent time there

[@fizikchy]

Good lesson! But black's Nxe4 idea was somehow unclear.

[@jaroslavpors6559]

His sicilian, his rules :)

[@rickprol-pc8ds]

I thought she played pretty badly myself. She knew it also. Win some lose some is all it is.

[@robertm6597]

taking e4 was draw ?

[@bilou1260]

Kxg4 is bad, better has Ra5 cut the black King.

[@mahmoodsardari539]

22:46 such a bad behavior by that woman

[@jasondelpire9786]

That was not bad behavior, in any way.

[@amigosXcorrespondenc]

Isn't she too old to cry over a chess game?

[@chrispieper7777]

I think she handled the loss rather well. I did not see bad behavior.

[@yisrael34]

Yes it is. The non write rules in chess says tou must shake your hand when you loose the game. Not throw the pieces over the board.

[@countbelisarius9742]

His pawn twirling was annoying to me as a spectator. And what gives with his trying out a king move but not releasing it? Sveshnikov used to be a chess hero of mine, but he seems to be a very annoying opponent. Still does not excuse what she dis.
