Foreword

It gives me great pleasure, for several reasons, to introduce the author of this book. In the first place, not only are we contemporaries but we also come from the same area : he comes from Cheliabinsk and I from neighbouring Ziatoust. So "Zhenya" Sveshn ikov and I have known each other from chi ldhood . We often played together in the junior teams of the Russian Federation , and then the Soviet Un ion. We both had the same trainer : Leonid Aronovich Gratvol , who was fanatical ly devoted to developing jun ior chess. It is perhaps thanks to h im that the future grandmaster grew to love not only the work of chess analysis but also coach ing, which he started relatively young. Usual ly, active players prefer tournament play to spending t ime and energy on other chess activities. Yet Evgeny El l inovich has managed , not only to win over seventy international tournaments during his long career, but also to bring on the talents of dozens of grandmasters and masters.

Secondly I should mention the h igh qual ity of analysis of my oid comrade, h is conscientiousness and his basic honesty, which I came to appreciate many times in the years when Grandmaster Sveshnikov was one of my trainers during my d ifficult matches against Garry Kasparov.

Third ly, I am anxious to stress that our collaboration continues in various ways. Evgeny E l l inovich helps me prepare for important events, teaches in the Anatoly Karpov School and wi l l ingly assists when I fly with colleagues to promote the game of chess in d istant reg ions of Russia. I should add that he often does this on h is own in it iative as wel l ; it is thanks to h im that chess schools

have revived in the Altai and South-Urals regions.

Final ly I must mention h is fanatical and stubborn work in researching the open ings, which eventually brought him bri l l iant success. I recall that thirty years ago, during a USSR championsh ip event, I said to him pityingly : "Zhenya, why do you keep torturing yourself by playing that Sici l ian with . . . e7-eS ? Choose someth ing s impler and you ' l l play much more easily !" Today I have to admit that I was wrong : he was right not to l isten to me: today everybody plays the Sveshnikov Variation ! And as a fel low native of the Urals, I am pleased that this system is also known as the "Cheliabinsk Variation" .

Unfortunately, his monograph on the Sveshn ikov Sici l ian has unti l now remained practically the only publ ication by this grandmaster in the Russian language. But now finally this new theoretical work of Evgeny Sveshnikov is avai lable. It is devoted to the popu lar 3. eS system against the French Defence. Its popu larity is once more largely due to its constant adoption by Sveshn ikov, who has developed a fantastic feel for its nuances. I t has helped h im amass a plus-score (70% from over 1S0 games ! ) against such French Defence experts as Evgeny Bareev. The author bel ieves that Black cannot equal ise against the Advance Variation and to date no-one has been able to prove the contrary.

I consider this book to be a real manual , original in its conception and excel lent in its execution . It not only teaches you how to play a specific variation of the French Defence, it also helps you understand many strategic ideas and their practical appl ication in

the m idd legame, which for the majority of players is even more important. A book by such an outstand ing grandmaster and theoretician should prove useful to a wide readership. Club, Internet and weekend tournament players wi l l find that Volume 1 wi l l qu ickly give them a good grounding in

what is real ly a very unpleasant (for Black) plan of attack. Masters (and even grandmasters) wi l l find in Volume 2 a real master-class by the world expert in this variation.

Introduction

I have been using the 3 . e5 system aga inst the French Defence for about th irty years. How did this weapon become part of my arsena l ? I n the 1 970s chess information was not as readi ly ava i lable as it is in today's computer age ; it was d ifficu lt to obta in it and process it. I got i nto the habit of selfrel iance, trusting solely my own ideas. I understood that the move 3 . e5 was not objectively the strongest, but I had no desire to compete with such experienced Frenchspecial ists as, for instance, Vagan ian , in the long and complex l i nes that arise after the main cont inuation 3. tOc3 . Thus I chose the 3. e5 system aga inst the French (and similarly 2 . c3 aga inst the Sici l ian) for practica l reasons, since I understood that my opponents would be focusing their attention on the moves 3 . tOc3 and 3 . tOd2 which were much more popu lar at that time.

By the end of the 1 980s I had accumulated enough theoretical and practical materia l on the 3. e5 system . I prepared a ta lk for my pupi ls which I ended up g iving to over a thousand people. What I found interesting was this: when I tried to teach concrete variations to p layers of 2 nd or even 1 st Category, they just looked bored and remembered noth ing. On the other hand, if I expla ined a typica l idea by means of an i l lustrative game, they learnt it for ever. So for learning a new pattern it is best to use wel l -annotated games, in which the ma in ideas and plans of both sides can be clearly expla ined . When the pupi l understands the genera l idea he can memorise the concrete variations more easi ly.

At the start of the 1990s I wrote a qu ite extensive article on 3. e5 ! ? for New in Chess Year

Book. The very positive response to that article prompted me to undertake the present book project, wel l aware that it wou ld require not just a lot of time . . .

It is wel l known that the choice of a p lan is based on the pawn structure in the centre and the dynamic placement of the pieces. In my opin ion it is not very usefu l to ta lk about a particu lar pawn structure without placing it in the context of a concrete opening. A student who has not reached at least the min imum level of candidate master wi l l have d ifficu lty in assimi lating such materia l . My teaching experience tel ls me that the materia l can be assimi lated much better if it is taught in the context of an actual open ing.

I decided to begin this book with an expla nation of the main ideas for each side ; each plan is i l lustrated with games and extensive commentary. Other things being equal , I have given preference to games by the players who were the fi rst to employ a particu lar plan . I ncidenta l ly, most of the annotations were made without consu lt ing a computer, and in this l ies their chief merit, s ince a l l the ideas are "human" . Of course, the variations were then checked later with ana lysis engines, to el im inate crude oversights. The computer is a va luable assistant for the technica l work but in the realm of ideas it is actua l ly, with rare exceptions, of l ittle use.

Further on we present the reader with a series of test positions and solutions to re i nforce w hat has been learnt. Since one of the most common themes of the Advance Variation is to blockade the centre and play aga inst the weakened dark squares, I have included a chapter on this topic.

Introduction

I wanted to write a book that would be interesting and instructive not just to ord inary players but also to candidate masters, masters and even grandmasters. The practica l strength of a p layer and h is understanding of the opening are often at different levels. It often happens that even experienced players go astray in unfami l iar positions. That is why even for them it is useful to reflect once again upon the "why" , the genera l bases underlying the concrete variations that they have memorised .

For advanced players who have studied the fi rst two chapters of Volume 1 , I have provided in Volume 2 some reference materia l in tabu lar "Encyclopaedia" format, plus theoretica l ly important games w ith l ight notes only - to encourage independent ana lysis. I have also drawn attention to what at present appear to be the most critica l positions.

Chess is not just a sport - it is a lso an ele ment of cu lture, which is why I usua l ly begin my opening studies with a historical review. I consider it essentia l to pay tribute to a l l those who have contributed to the development of this variation , and to trace its development.

Volume 1 (Basic Course) consists of:

1 ) H istorica l overview

2) Explanation of the p lans for both s ides through games annotated in deta i l

3) A chapter on blockade

4) Test positions

After assimi lating this materia l you can move onto a more professional study ("one step at a time") .

Volume 2 (Advanced Course) consists of :

1 ) Theoretica l ly important games for independent ana lysis

2) Encyclopaedia

3) Conclusions: the l ikely future development of the 3. e5 system

4) Games for further study

5) The latest theoretica l developments

Natura l ly I hope that this two-volume work w i l l become not only a manual for c lub, Internet and weekend tournament players, but wi l l a lso prove a useful reference for masters and even grandmasters.

* * *

That I have been able to bring this immensely time-consuming but equa l ly interesting work to a successful conclusion is very much due to the efforts of International Master Vladimir Barsky, whom I should l ike to thank sincerely here for h is col laboration in the development and completion of this book project.

Chapter 1

Theoretically important games for independent analysis

In computer databases there are over 25,000 games beginning with the moves 1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 (C02 in the classification of the Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings). To save the reader from drowning in this sea of information , I have selected about fifty games for their instructiona l or theoretical va lue. I hope that my comments (sometimes short, sometimes qu ite extensive) on these games wi l l provide a sound basis for your own i nvestigations of this opening, since it is difficu lt to achieve good competitive results in modern chess w ithout carrying out your own independent ana lytica l work.

The fi rst part of th is chapter consists of games by great figures in chess h istory, by world champions and by the great chess th inker David lonovich Bronstein . Then I present games organised into thematic sections and arranged chronological ly w ith in each section. I want to stress once aga in that each such classification is a lways rela tive in character.

1.1 Games by World Champions

After studying the games with 3. e5 featuring World Champions, I can safely say that from the viewpoint of opening theory they contributed noth ing of importance. But world champions are world champions, and it is obviously i nteresting to see how they handled this open ing. In Volume 1 we have already seen some games by world champions ; now we are going to look at a few further interesting examples.

In the fol lowing game the fi rst World Champion d id not handle the open ing very wel l . White won only thanks to an unsound piece sacrifice by his opponent.

White resigned .

When the play takes place on both wings, it is quite rare for Black to win; this game is one of the exceptions.

Spassky played this variation three times against Korchnoi, but lost two games and won only one. The two final encounters in their match in St. Petersburg ( 1999) deserve attention, but the most interesting game played by Boris Vasi l ievich was with Black in Moscow 1 999 against Vlast imi l Hort, where in a theoretically known position he unexpectedly sacrificed the exchange.

Black resigned .

As we can see, the World Champions had mixed results with this system; you only have recal l Stein itz and Alekhine. More deserving of attention are the games in which Euwe used the plan of giving up the white pawn centre; he played very logically and methodical ly to gain an advantage. The games between Spassky and Korchnoi and the Hort Spassky game are interesting. The games in which the World Champions played Black deserve greater attention, especial ly those by Botvinnik and Petrosian .

1.2 Master games

David lonovich Bronstein did not often play this system but, in contrast to the games of the World Champions, h is games were brimming with new ideas. Bronstein's play was very creative, packed fu l l of original ity, whereas World Champions are concerned mainly with their competitive results. We can say that they are the champions, but Bronstein was a creator.

General ly the creators of new opening systems, the "chess researchers" are considered inferior to the champions, since the chess public is more interested in outstanding resu lts than in theory. Theoreticians are never regarded as being on the same level as champions, even though it is precisely the former who educate the chess world .

Theory is extremely important in any field of knowledge, but chess players have never set themselves the goal of discovering the best moves in the in itial position of the game.

Pawn sacrifice for the initiative, blockading

knight

By means of a pawn sacrifice I succeeded in taking the in itiative and start ing an attack on the kingside. An important role was played by the blockading knight on d4. Black never had t ime to d islodge the knight from its blockading square.

Black has an extra pawn but when you look at the position , it seems that White is the one with more pawns ! This is not entirely an optical i l l usion - White controls a lot more squares.

It might appear that there is no point in playing on in th is end ing ; there are bishops of opposite colour and Black has no weaknesses. But in real ity White has practically an extra piece - his king ! His plan is fi rst to achieve the e3-e4 break, fol lowed by d4-d5 to make use of h is more active king. Black lacks counterplay, h is pieces have only the e7 and f8 squares at their disposal , and the f7 pawn needs to be defended by the king.

26 . .la6!

This move prevents Black's on ly possib i l ity of counterplay with a7-a5, after which the g7 bishop would be "resurrected" .

After lengthy reflection , Semion Isaakovich comes up with a new move. The stem game

of this variation was Short - Lputian , Batumi 1 999 (Volume 1 , game S2 on page 1 03) , i n which 1S . . . Wf4 was played . Although 5mbat managed to draw the game, the variation is considered dubious for Black. Dvoiris's new move does noth ing to change this assessment.

White is better. If 17 . . . eS , then 18 . dxeS fxeS 19 . gS with an attack.

This weakens the eS square even more.

White has seized the key square eS and prevented Black from castl ing. Strategical ly the game is already decided - it just remains for White to wrap it up with an attack on the king.

20. �d3 !?

White refines his plan : the knight is headed for eS. Now the black king wi l l have no safe haven . Instead 20. bS �cd8 21 . Ad3 ;t was also good .

Chapter 3

A su m ma ry of the 3 . e5 system

It is t ime to draw some conclusions. Briefly they are as fol lows :

1 . e4 e6?

An error - 1 . . . c5 ! is better, or fai l ing that 1 . . . e5 !? although in the latter case Black has serious problems with the defence of the e5 pawn after 2 . tDf3 tDc6 3. Ab5 ! .

2. d4 d5

Otherwise White has a strong pawn pair in the centre and a winning position .

3. e5 1?

Objectively 3. tDc3 ! is stronger, after which Black has a bad position . But White also has a big advantage after 3. e5 !? , greater than he has after 1. e4 ! in the in itial position .

3 . . . c51

The correct move, beginn ing immediate counterplay against White's pawn centre. The alternative plan to exchange the l ightsquared bishops with 3 . . . b6 4. c3 or 3 . . . tDe7 4 . tDf3 b6 5 . c3 �d7 6. a4 does not offer Black any prospect of equal ity.

The gambits introduced by N imzowitsch bring White no advantage. In fact 4. �g4?! is not even sufficient for equal ity (see the annotations to the game Sveshnikov - Komarov, Vrnjacka Banja 1 999 (Volume 1 , game 28 on page 57) . The l ine 4 . tDf3 ?! cxd4 ! 5 . Ad3 is somewhat better. However, I advise al l players below the level of candidate master to include these gambits in their repertoire and learn how to handle them by studying the games of Nimzowitsch and Keres. Mastering the methods of gambit play is an important stage in the development of a chessplayer. The move 4 . d xc5 ?! - suggested by Louis Paulsen - was later tried a few times by Stein itz but gives Black easy equal ity. He has several playable plans, such as that demonstrated by Emanuel Lasker in his game against Tarrasch (St. Petersburg 1 91 4 ; Volume 1 , game 7 on page 1 8) . Also playable is 4 . . . Axc5 5 . Ad3 tDc6 6. tDf3 tDge7 with equal chances.

4 . . . �c61 The best move, obeying al l the principles of the open ing. Furthermore it is consistent with Black's plan of counterattack against the d4 pawn. Transferring the other knight to c6 does not equal ise, since it loses time and weakens the kingside. The plan with 4 . . . Ad7 and 5 . . . a6 is also too slow.

5. �f3 White has noth ing better than this move, since after 5. Ae3 ?! cxd4 6. cxd4 Black can

....-c-� ... .,;;� .. ----! 2 turn h is fire on the e5 pawn with 6 . . . tDh6,

�--------------��--� �

4. c3

7 . . . tDf5 and 8 . . . f6 !? The move 5. f4 is not in harmony with the spirit of th is opening, since it incarcerates the c1 bishop, weakens the l ight squares and simply wastes time.

Chapter 3 A summary of the 3. e5 system

5 ••• 'Wb6!

We know from the annotated games and the Encyclopaedia that the variations S . . . ttlh6?! 6. dxcS ! and S . . . ttlge7 6. ttla3 ! are not sufficient for equality.

An interesting possib i l ity for B lack is the move S . . . Ad7 !? recommended by Botvinnik, which we call the "flexible defence" . However, this l ine also offers White a greater choice than he has after the more active S . . . 'Wb6, s ince he has the add itional possibi l ity 6. Ae3 !? After the insertion of the move . . . Ad?, the immediate development of the bishop at e3 is more favourable than on the Sth move, since after an exchange on fS (Ad3xttlfS) White wi l l gain a tempo, because Black wi l l have to move the bishop again (to e6) to defend the dS pawn ( in reply to ttlc3) . If instead Black sends the knight to g4 v ia h6 and then exchanges on e3 , he is l iable to come under attack on the kingside. Alternatively White can withdraw the bishop from e3, leaving the g4 knight out on a l imb in the danger zone.

The strongest reply to S . . . Ad7 is defin itely 6. Ae2 ! after which a counter-attack d irected at d4 comes too late and Black must switch to attacking the eS pawn with 6 . . . f6 !? But experience has shown that he does not equalise in this case. The plan used several times by Korchnoi comes into consideration : S . . . Ad7 6. Ae2 ttlge7 7. 0-0 ttlg6 !?

6. a3!

An attentive reading of this book wi l l have persuaded you that 6. Ae2 ?! brings no advantage after 6 . . . cxd4 ! 7. cxd4 ttlh6 ! , the move order used against me by Portisch near the end of the 1993 Biel lnterzonal 1993 (game S1 on page 43) . Portisch is wel l known for his expertise in the openings ; h is games constitute a whole openings manual in themselves ! Now 8. Axh6 ?! 'Wxb2 ! is bad , since White does not get enough compensation for the pawn. But if Black plays 6 . . . ttlh6?! instead of 6 . . . cxd4 ! then the variation 7. Axh6 !

g x h6 (7 . . . 'Wxb2 ? loses to 8 . Ae3 ! ) 8. 'Wd2 Ag7 9. ttla3 is better for White.

The move 6. Ad3 ?! is inadequate because of 6 . . . cxd4 ! 7. cxd4 Ad7 8. ttlc3 ttlxd4 9. ttlxd4 'Wxd4, and White has serious worries about equal ising.

•

6 . . . toh6 !?

Only at this point does Black have a choice of reasonable continuations.

a) 6 . . . c4 !? closing the position. Now after 7. ttlbd2 ! Black cannot ignore the threat of 8. b3 since if 7 . . . Ad7 ?! White can gain the advantage by 8 .b3 ! cxb3 9 . ttlxb3 ttlaS 1 0. ttlxaS 'WxaS 1 1 . Ad2 'Wa4 1 2 . 'Wb1 as shown in the game Sveshnikov - Timman , Ti lburg 1 992 (Volume 1 , game 29 on page 60). But even after the better move 7 . . . ttlaS White sti l l has an advantage, as both theory and practice testify.

b) 6 . . . Ad7 7. b4 cxd4 8 . cxd4 �c8 9. Ab2 ttlaS 1 0. ttlbd2 ttlc4, and here too theory promises White the better game by 1 1 . ttlxc4 dxc4 12 . �c1 as 13 . ttld2 ! .

c ) 6 . . . aS. White now has three playable continuations - 7. Ad3 !?, 7. Ae2 and 7. b3 !?

The move 7. Ad3 !? entai ls a pawn sacrifice : 7 . . . cxd4 8 . cxd4 Ad7 9 . ttlc3 ttlxd4 1 0. ttlxd4 'Wxd4. For White to gain any advantage, improvements need to be found for h im in the games I . Zaitsev - Lempert, Moscow 1994 (game 26 on page 26) and Shirov Anand, Teheran 2000 (Volume 1 , game 22

113


on page 44) . If no white advantage can be found in that l ine, White can play 7. Ae2 instead , since now the plan for Black shown in the game Sveshnikov - Portisch (game 51 on page 43) does not work (there is no check on a5 available, the b5 square is weakened, and White does not lose castl ing rights) . On the other hand Black can develop an in itiative on the queenside with 7. . . a4. Final ly White can play 7. b3 !? as in the game Sveshnikov Volkov, Togl iatti 2003 (Volume 1 , page 55) and this should be sufficient for some advantage.

7. b4 cxd4 8. cxd4 �f5 9 . .tb2!

The alternative 9. Ae3 ?! brings White no advantage in view of 9 . . . f6 ! 1 0 . exf6 ( 1 0 . b5 leads to a draw after 1 0. tbxe5, as in Romanish in - Lputian , Yerevan 1 988 (Volume 1 , page 77) ; if 1 0 . Ad3 ?! Black even gains the advantage ; see Potkin - Fi l ippov, Togl iatti 2003 ; Volume 1 , game 40 on page 77) 10 . . . g xf6 with chances for both sides ( Morozevich - Bareev, Monte Carlo 2002 , game 42 on page 36).

Now Black is again presented with a choice. The main options are 9 . . . Ad7 and 9 . . . Ae7. Instead 9 . . . a5 10 . b5 gives White the advantage, as in Sveshnikov - Bareev, Moscow 1995 (Note 247 on page 100 and game [ 1 ] on page 1 16) . Incidentally, 9 . . . a5 was Korchnoi 's choice in a rapid game against Erenburg

(See Volume 1 , Test position 65 on page 145 ; Solution o n page 155).

These six positions (the four black options at move six and the two at move n ine) are the main bastions of Black's defence against 3 . e5 . They also represent the d irections in which I expect the theory to develop in the coming years.

A.

9 . . . .ld7 10. g4

Black has fewer problems after 10 . Ae2 Ae7 1 1 . 0-0 0-0 with chances for both sides, Sveshnikov - Bareev, Moscow 1 990 (game [2] on page 1 1 6) .

10 . . . �fe7

Black fai ls to solve h is problems with 1 0 . . . tbh6 1 1 . !!g1 ! f6 1 2 . exf6 gxf6 13 . tbc3 tbf7 14 . tba4 'Wc7 15 . !!c1 'Wf4 ( 1 5 . . . 'Wd6 ?! is weaker, see Sveshnikov - Dvoir is, Chel iabinsk 2004 (game 59 on page 52) 16. tbc5 and White had the better chances in the game Short - Lputian , Batumi 1 999 (Volume 1 , game 52 on page . 1 03) , which is the most important game played with this variation . However, on this theme I also recommend detai led study of the games Vasyukov - Bukhman, St. Petersburg 1 994 (Volume 1 , page 104), Savic - Lputian , Neum 2002 (game [3] on page 1 1 7) , Lautier Bauer, French Championship, Val d ' i sere 2002 (page 50) and Val lejo Pons - H i l larp Persson , Ben idorm 2003 (game [4] on page 1 1 7) .

11. �c3 �a5

The earl iest known game with this variation is Rel lstab - Unzicker, West German Championsh ip, Bad Pyrmont 1 950 (game [5] on page 1 1 7) . Other important games include : Shirov - Kramnik, Monte Carlo 1997 (Volume 1 , game 48 on page 95) and Nevedn ichy Lputian , Ohrid 2001 (game [6] on page 1 18) .

Another interesting idea here is 10 . h4 !? with the plan of capturing later on f5 (Ax�) and then exchanging the dark-squared bishops ; this plan was used in a game of Mark Tseitl in's. With the help of this move I was able to defeat Bareev in the 1 996 Russian Championship (Volume 1 , game 34 on page 65) and Doroshkevich in St. Petersburg 2000 (Volume 1 , page 65) . See also the games Grischuk - Lputian , 35th Olympiad , Bled 2002 (Volume 1 , game 51 on page 1 01 ) and Vysoch in - Pol ivanov, St . Petersburg 2002 (Volume 1 , page 1 02) .

1 1 . Wa4!

This move restrains Black's queenside in itiative, al lowing White to complete his development and then start active operations on the kingside.

1 1 . . . 0-0 1 2. b5 .ld7

The order of moves used in the game Ki ik - Korchnoi , Ri lton Cup, Stockholm 2003 (Volume 1 , page 95) deserves attention : 1 2 . . . �h4 !? 13 . �xh4 Axh4 14 . g3 ?! ( 14 . o-o t is better) .

Finally I should l ike to stress that if you want to keep up to date with developments in a particular open ing variation , do not confine your interest to the games of players with a high E LO rating : look at the games of players who special ise in that variation , since they are always on the lookout for new ideas.

Chapter 5

The latest theo reti ca l deve lopments

The publ ication date of the German ed ition of this book was i n July 2006. Since the research for that ed ition was completed , l iteral ly thousands of games have been played in national and international tournaments - 6,SOO alone in the 36th Chess Olympiad in Turin (20th May to 4th June 2006). Naturally the Advance Variation of the French Defence has been subjected to further tests. To reflect these developments, for the Engl ish ed ition of the book Evgeny Sveshn ikov has specially selected what, in his opin ion , are the twenty-four theoretical ly most important recent games for further study material .
