Foreword have revived in the Altai and South-Urals re ­ gions.

It gives me great pleasure, for several rea­ sons, to introduce the author of this book. In the first place, not only are we contempo­ raries but we also come from the same area : he comes from Cheliabinsk and I from neigh­ bouring Ziatoust. So "Zhenya" Svesh n i kov and I have known each other from childhood . We often played together in the junior teams of the Russian Federation , and then the So­ viet U n ion. We both had the same trai ner : Leonid Aronovich Gratvol, who was fanat­ ical ly devoted to developing j u n ior chess. It is perhaps thanks to h i m that the future grandmaster grew to love not only the work of chess analysis but also coaching, which he started relatively young. Usually, active players prefer tournament play to spending time and energy on other chess activities. Yet Evgeny Ellinovich has managed , not only to win over seventy i nternational tournaments during his long career, but also to bring on the talents of dozens of grand masters and masters.

Finally I must mention his fanatical and stubborn work in researching the openings, which eventually brought him bri l l iant suc­ cess. I recall that thirty years ago, d uring a USSR championship event, I said to him pity­ ingly : "Zhenya, why do you keep torturing yourself by playing that Sicil ian with . . . e7eS ? Choose something simpler and you ' l l play much more easily !" Today I have to ad ­ mit that I was wrong : he was right not to l is­ ten to me: today everybody plays the Svesh­ nikov Variation ! And as a fellow native of the U rals, I am pleased that this system is also known as the "Cheliabinsk Variation". Unfortunately, his monograph on the Svesh­ nikov Sicil ian has until now remained practi­ cally the only publication by this grandmaster in the Russian language. But now finally this new theoretical work of Evgeny Sveshnikov is available. It is devoted to the popular 3. eS system against the French Defence. Its pop­ ularity is once more largely due to its con­ stant adoption by Sveshn i kov, who has de­ veloped a fantastic feel for its nuances. It has hel ped h i m amass a pl us-score (70% from over 1 S0 games ! ) against such French De ­ fence experts as Evgeny Bareev. The author bel ieves that Black cannot equalise against the Advance Variation and to date no-one has been able to prove the contrary .

Secondly I should mention the high qual ity of analysis of my oid comrade, his consci­ entiousness and his basic honesty, which I came to appreciate many times i n the years when Grandmaster Sveshni kov was one of my trainers duri ng my difficult matches against Garry Kasparov. Third ly, I am anxious to stress that our col­ laboration continues in various ways. Evgeny Elli novich helps me prepare for i mportant events, teaches in the Anatoly Karpov School and willingly assists when I fly with col­ leagues to promote the game of chess in distant regions of R ussia. I should add that he often does this on his own i n itiative as wel l ; it is than ks to h i m that chess schools

I consider this book to be a real manual , ori­ ginal in its conception and excellent in its ex­ ecution . It not only teaches you how to play a specific variation of the French Defence, it also helps you understand many strate ­ gic ideas and their practical application i n

Introduction The very positive response to that ar­ ticle prompted me to undertake the present book project, well aware that it wou ld require not just a lot of time . . .

I have been using the 3 . e5 system aga i nst the French Defence for a bout thirty yea rs. How did this weapon become part of my ar­ sena l ? I n the 1 970s chess i nformation was not as readily ava i la ble as it is i n today's computer age ; it was difficult to obta i n it and process it. I got i nto the ha bit of self­ rel ia nce, trusting solely my own ideas. I un­ derstood that the move 3 . e5 was not ob­ jectively the strongest, but I had no desire to com pete with such experienced French ­ specialists as, for insta nce, Vaganian, in the long and complex l i nes that arise after the main continuation 3. tOc3 . Thus I chose the 3. e5 system aga i nst the French (and simi­ la rly 2 . c3 aga i nst the Sici l ia n ) for practica l reasons, since I u nderstood that m y oppo­ nents would be focusing their attention on the moves 3. tOc3 and 3 . tOd2 wh ich were much more popu lar at that time.

Book.

It is well know n that the choice of a pla n is based on the pawn structure in the centre and the dynamic placement of the pieces. In my opinion it is not very useful to ta lk about a pa rticular pawn structure without placing it in the context of a concrete opening. A student who has not reached at least the m i n imum level of ca ndidate master will have difficulty in assim i lating such materia l . My teaching experience tells 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 begi n this book with a n expla ­ nation of the ma in ideas for each side ; each pla n is i l lustrated with games and exten­ sive commentary. Other things being equa l , I have given preference to games by the play­ ers who were the first to employ a particular pla n . I ncidenta l ly, most of the a n notations were made without consu lting a com puter, and i n this lies their chief merit, since a l l t h e ideas are " human" . O f cou rse, t h e vari­ ations were then checked later with a na ly­ sis engines, to elim i nate crude oversights. The computer is a va luable assistant for the technica l work but in the realm of ideas it is actua lly, with rare exceptions, of l ittle use.

By the end of the 1 980s I had accumu lated enough theoretical and practical material on the 3. e5 system . I prepa red a ta l k for my pupils which I ended up g iving to over a thou­ sa nd people. What I found i nteresting was this: when I tried to teach concrete variations to players of 2 nd or even 1 st Category, they just looked bored and remembered noth ing. On the other ha nd, if I expla i ned a typica l idea by means of a n i llustrative game, they learnt it for ever. So for learning a new pat­ tern it is best to use wel l -annotated games, in which the ma in ideas and plans of both sides ca n be clearly expla ined . When the pu pil u nderstands the genera l idea he ca n memorise the concrete va riations more eas­ ily.

Further on we present the reader with a se ­ ries of test positions and solutions to re ­ i nforce w hat has been learnt. Since one of the most common themes of the Adva nce Va riation is to blockade the centre a nd play aga inst the wea kened da rk squa res, I have included a cha pter on this topic.

At the sta rt of the 1990s I wrote a qu ite exten­ sive article on 3. e5 ! ? for New in Chess Year

Introduction

3) A chapter o n blockade

I wa nted to write a book that would be in­ teresting and i nstructive not just to ordi nary players but also to ca ndidate masters, mas­ ters and even grandmasters. The practica l strength of a player a n d h i s understanding of the opening are often at different levels. It often ha ppens that even experienced players go astray in unfamiliar positions. That is why even for them it is useful to reflect once again u pon the "why" , the genera l bases u nderly­ ing the concrete va riations that they have memorised .

4) Test positions After assimilating this materia l you ca n move onto a more professional study ("one step at a time"). Volume 2 (Advanced Course) consists of : 1 ) Theoretica l ly i m porta nt ga mes for inde ­ pendent ana lysis 2) Encyclopaedia 3) Conclusions: the likely future development of the 3. e5 system

For advanced players who have studied the first two chapters of Volu me 1 , I have pro­ vided i n Volume 2 some reference materia l in tabu lar "Encyclopaedia" format, plus the ­ oretica l ly i m porta nt ga mes w ith light notes only - to encourage i ndependent a na lysis. I have also drawn attention to what at present appear to be the most critica l positions.

4) Games for further study 5) The latest theoretica l developments Natura l ly I hope that this two-volu me work w i l l become not only a ma nua l for club, I n ­ ternet a n d weekend tournament players, but will also prove a useful reference for masters and even grandmasters.

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

* * *

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

Volume 1 ( Basic Course) consists of: 1 ) Historica l overview 2) Expla nation of the plans for both sides through games annotated in deta i l

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

The first part of this cha pter consists of ga mes by great figures in chess history, by world cha m pions and by the great chess thinker David lonovich Bronstein . Then I present games organised into thematic sec ­ tions and arranged chronologically w ithin each section. I want to stress once aga i n 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 con­ tributed noth ing of i mportance. But world cham pions are world champions, and it is obviously i nteresting to see how they han­ dled this opening. In Volume 1 we have al­ ready seen some games by world champi­ ons ; now we are going to look at a few further interesting examples. In the following game the first World Cham­ pion did not handle the openi ng very well . Wh ite won only thanks to a n unsound piece sacrifice by his opponent.

For and against the blockade

White resigned. Alekhine played badly in this game and lost as a result of his mistake on move 1 7. On the whole he handled this vari­ ation better with the black pieces.

Game 7

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 ( 1 999) deserve attention, but the most i nteresting game played by Boris Vasi lievich was with Black in Moscow 1 999 against Vlastimil Hort, where in a theoretically known position he unex­ pectedly sacrificed the exchange.

Black resigned . w e can see, t h e World Champions had mixed results with this system; you only have recall Stein itz and Alekhine. More deserving of attention are the games in which Euwe used the plan of giving up the wh ite pawn centre; he played very logically and method ­ ically to gain an advantage. The games be ­ tween Spassky and Korchnoi and the Hort ­ Spassky game are interesting. The games in which the World Champions played Black deserve greater attention, especially those by Botvinnik and Petrosian .

As

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

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 initial position of the game. Advantage in development, attack on the king

G a m e 21 B ro n ste i n - Ka r n e r Tal l i n n 1 9 81

Generally the creators of new opening sys­ tems, the "chess researchers" are consid­ ered i nferior to the champions, since the chess public is more interested in outstand ­ ing results than i n theory. Theoreticians are never regarded as bei ng on the same level as champions, even though it is precisely the former who educate the chess world .

Here the game was agreed drawn in view of 36 . . . h6+ 37. �g6 (37. �h5 exf5 38. �g6 &Ix h4 39. �xf5 &Ia4 =) 37. . . &Ig4+ 38. �h7 exf5 39. h5 or 36 . . . exf5 37. e6 = &Ie4.

Now the Black position deteriorates. Instead 1 3 . . . �a5 ! leads to an i nteresting game : 1 4 . We1 0-0 1 5 . Ad3 &Ic8 1 6 . Wg3 ( 1 6. e4 Ac6 =) 1 6 . . . h6 1 7. �e1 ( 1 7. h4 &Ic3 1 8 . �e1 We7 1 9. &If6 Wxa3 + ) 17. . .Wg5 1 8 . Wh3 b6 ( 1 8 . . .16 1 9 . Ab5 � ; 18 . . . &Ic3 1 9 . &If3 We7 20. &Ig3 �h8 21 .

Making use of his lead in development, White heads for the endgame. This is a typical method . However, Black finds a good de­ fensive resource. a

It might appear that there is no point in play­ ing on in this ending ; there are bishops of opposite colour and Black has no weak­ nesses. But in real ity White has practically an extra piece - his king ! His plan is first to achieve the e3-e4 break, followed by d4-d5 to make use of his more active ki ng. Black lacks counterplay, his 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 only possibility of counterplay with a7-a5, after which the g7 bishop would be "resurrected" . 26 . . . �e7 2 7. �f2 h 6 2S. �g3 .lfS 29. �f4 �f5 30. e4 dxe4 31 . �xe4 �g3+ 32. �d3 .le7 33. d5 ! exd5 34. �d4 hxg5 35. hxg5 �e4 36. �xd5 �xg5 37. �d4!

Black underestimates White's attacking chances. It was better to withdraw the queen to d8 and then prepare the f7-f6 break.

Black has parried the most dangerous threat - the incursion of the queen to gS - and at the same time he sets a trap.

White has seized the key square eS and pre­ vented Black from castling. Strategically the game is already decided - it just remains for White to wrap it u p with an attack on the king.

Chapter 3

A s u m m a r y of t h e 3 . e5 s y ste m It is time to draw some conclusions. Briefly they are as follows : 1 . e4 e6?

An error - 1 . . . c5 ! is better, or failing 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 . d 4 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 initial position . 3 . . . c5 1

The correct move, beginning immediate counterplay against White's pawn centre. The alternative plan to exchange the light­ squared 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. a

The gambits introduced by N imzowitsch bring Wh ite no advantage. In fact 4. �g4 ?! is not even sufficient for equality (see the anno­ tations to the game Sveshni kov - Komarov, Vrnjacka Banja 1 999 (Volume 1 , game 28 on page 57). The line 4 . tDf3 ?! cxd4 ! 5 . Ad3 is somewhat better. However, I advise all play­ ers 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 i mportant stage in the development of a chessplayer. The move 4 . d xc5 ?! - suggested by Louis Paulsen - was later tried a few times by Stei­ nitz but gives Black easy equal ity. He has several playable plans, such as that demon­ strated by Emanuel Lasker in his game against Tarrasch (St. Petersburg 1 91 4 ; Vol­ ume 1 , game 7 on page 1 8) . Also playable is 4 . . . Axc5 5 . Ad3 tDc6 6. tDf3 tDge7 with equal chances. 4 . . . �c6 1 The best move, obeying all the principles of the opening. Furthermore it is consistent with Black's plan of counterattack against the d4 pawn. Transferring the other knight to c6 does not equalise, since it loses time and weakens the kingside. The plan with 4 . . . Ad7 and 5 . . . a6 is also too slow. 5. �f3 Wh ite has noth ing better than this move, since after 5. Ae3 ?! cxd4 6. cxd4 Black can turn his fire on the e5 pawn with 6 . . . tDh6, 7. . . tDf5 and 8 . . . f6 !? The move 5. f4 is not in harmony with the spirit of this opening, since it i ncarcerates the c1 bishop, weakens the light squares and simply wastes time.

A summary of the 3. e5 system

'Wb6 !

•••

We know from the annotated games and the Encyclopaedia that the variations S . . . ttlh6 ?! 6. dxcS ! and S . . . ttlge7 6. ttla3 ! are not suffi­ cient for equality. An interesting possi bility for B lack is the move S . . . Ad7 !? recommended by Botvinnik, which we call the "flexible defence" . H ow­ ever, this line also offers White a greater choice than he has after the more active S . . . 'Wb6, since he has the add itional pos­ sibility 6. Ae3 !? After the insertion of the move . . . Ad?, the immediate development of the bishop at e3 is more favourable than on the S th move, since after an exchange on fS (Ad3xttlfS) Wh ite will gain a tempo, because Black will 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 via h6 and then exchanges on e3 , he is liable to come under attack on the kingside. Alterna­ tively White can withdraw the bishop from e3 , leaving the g4 knight out on a limb in the danger zone. The strongest reply to S . . . Ad7 is defi n itely 6. Ae2 ! after which a counter-attack di­ rected 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 will have persuaded you that 6. Ae2 ?! brings no ad ­ vantage after 6 . . . cxd4 ! 7. cxd4 ttlh6 ! , the move order used against me by Portisch near the end of the 1 993 Biel lnterzonal 1 993 (game S1 on page 43). Portisch is well known for his expertise in the openings ; his games constitute a whole openings manual in them­ selves ! Now 8. Ax h6 ?! 'Wx b2 ! is bad , since White does not get enough compensation for the pawn. But if Black plays 6 . . . ttlh6 ?! in­ stead of 6 . . . cxd4 ! then the variation 7. Ax h6 !

g x h6 (7. . .'Wx b2 ? 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 equalising. •

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 si nce if 7. . . Ad7 ?! White can gain the advantage by 8 . b3 ! c x b3 9 . ttlx b3 ttlaS 1 0. ttlxaS 'WxaS 1 1 . Ad2 'Wa4 1 2 . 'Wb1 as shown in the game Sveshnikov - Ti mman , Ti lburg 1 992 (Volume 1 , game 29 on page 60). But even after the better move 7. . . ttlaS Wh ite still 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 prom ises White the better game by 1 1 . ttlxc4 dxc4 1 2 . �c1 as 1 3 . ttld2 ! . c ) 6 . . . aS. White now has three playable con­ tinuations - 7. Ad3 !?, 7. Ae2 and 7. b3 !? The move 7. Ad3 !? entails a pawn sacri­ fice : 7. . . cxd4 8. cxd4 Ad7 9. ttlc3 ttlxd4 1 0. ttlxd4 'Wxd4. For White to gain any ad ­ vantage, improvements need to be found for him in the games I . Zaitsev - Lem pert, Mos­ cow 1 994 (game 26 on page 26) and Shirov ­ Anand, Teheran 2000 (Volume 1 , game 22

on page 44) . If no white advantage can be found in that line, Wh ite can play 7. Ae2 in­ stead , 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 castling rights). On the other hand Black can develop an i nitiative on the queenside with 7. . . a4. Finally Wh ite can play 7. b3 !? as in the game Sveshnikov ­ Volkov, Togliatti 2003 (Volume 1 , page 55) and this should be sufficient for some ad ­ vantage. 7. b4 cxd4 8. cxd4 �f5 9 . .tb2 !

The alternative 9. Ae3 ?! brings White no ad ­ vantage in view of 9 . . . f6 ! 1 0 . exf6 ( 1 0. b5 leads to a draw after 1 0. tbxe5, as i n Romanish i n - Lputian , Yerevan 1 988 (Vol­ ume 1 , page 77) ; if 1 0 . Ad3 ?! Black even gains the advantage ; see Potkin - Filippov, 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).

5 4

(See Volume 1 , Test position 65 on page 145 ; Solution o n page 1 55). These six positions (the four black options at move six and the two at move n i ne) are the main bastions of Black's defence against 3. e5. They also represent the directions 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, M oscow 1 990 (game [2] on page 1 1 6). 10 . . . �fe7

Black fails to solve his problems with 1 0 . . . tbh6 1 1 . !!g1 ! f6 1 2 . exf6 gxf6 1 3 . tbc3 tbf7 1 4 . tba4 'Wc7 1 5 . !!c1 'Wf4 ( 1 5 . . .'Wd6 ?! is weaker, see Sveshni kov - Dvoiris, Cheli­ abinsk 2004 (game 59 on page 52 ) 16. tbc5 and Wh ite had the better chances in the game Short - Lputian , Batumi 1 999 (Vol­ ume 1 , game 52 on page . 1 03), which is the most i mportant game played with this variation . However, on this theme I also recommend detailed study of the games Vasyu kov - Bukhman, St. Petersburg 1 994 (Volume 1 , page 1 04), Savic - Lputian , Neum 2002 (game [3] on page 1 1 7) , Lautier ­ Bauer, French Championship, Val d ' i sere 2002 ( page 50) and Vallejo Pons - H i l larp Persson , Benidorm 2003 (game [4] on page 1 1 7). 11. �c3 �a5

Now Black is again presented with a choice. The main options are 9 . . . Ad7 and 9 . . . Ae7. Instead 9 . . . a5 1 0 . b5 gives White the ad ­ vantage, as in Sveshnikov - Bareev, Moscow 1 995 (Note 247 on page 1 00 and game [ 1 ] on page 1 1 6). Incidentally, 9 . . . a5 was Korchnoi 's choice in a rapid game against Erenburg

The earliest known game with this variation is Rellstab - U nzicker, West German Cham­ pionsh ip, Bad Pyrmont 1 950 (game [5] on page 1 1 7) . Other i mportant games include : Shirov - Kramnik, Monte Carlo 1 997 (Volume 1 , game 48 on page 95) and Nevedn ichy ­ Lputian, Ohrid 2001 (game [6] on page 1 1 8).

Wxc6 .lxc6 20. �g1 , and Black had to struggle for a draw (Sveshn i kov - Potkin , Russian Champion­ ship, Krasnoyarsk 2003 ; Volume 1 , page 95) . You should also study the games Alekseev ­ S. Ivanov, Tomsk 2001 (game [7] on page 1 1 8) and Sveshnikov - Radjabov, Tallinn 2004 (game 61 on page 53).

1 1 . Wa4!

This move restrains Black's queenside initia­ tive, allowing Wh ite to complete his develop­ ment and then start active operations on the kingside. •

B. 9 . . . .te7 10 . .td3

Another interesting idea here is 1 0 . h4 !? with the plan of capturing later on f5 (Ax�) and then exchanging the dark-squared bish­ ops ; this plan was used i n a game of M ark Tseitl in's. With the help of this move I was able to defeat Bareev in the 1 996 Rus­ sian Championshi p (Volume 1 , game 34 on page 65) and Doroshkevich in St. Pe ­ tersburg 2000 (Volume 1 , page 65) . See also the games Grisch u k - Lputian , 35 th Olympiad , Bled 2002 (Volume 1 , game 51 on page 1 01 ) and Vysoch i n - Pol ivanov, St. Petersburg 2002 (Volume 1 , page 1 02). 10 . . . h5 (10 . . .

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

The order of moves used in the game Kiik - Korchnoi , Rilton Cup, Stockholm 2003 (Volume 1 , page 95) deserves atten­ tion : 1 2 . . . �h4 !? 1 3 . �x h4 Axh4 1 4 . g3 ?! (14. o-o t is better). 1 3. 0-0 �a7 1 4. �c3 �h4 1 5. �xh4 .lxh4 1 6. Wd1 15 17. �a4 Wd8.

I n the game Motylev - Alavkin , Sochi 2004 (Game [8] on page 1 1 8) Wh ite also gained an advantage with 1 8. Wb3. 18. We2 ;t

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

Chapter 5

T h e l atest t h e o reti ca l d eve l o p m e nts The publication date of the German ed ition of this book was i n July 2006. Since the research for that ed ition was completed , literally thousands of games have been played in national and international tournaments - 6,SOO alone in the 36 th Chess Olympiad in Turin (20 th May to 4 th June 2006). Naturally the Advance Variation of the French Defence has been subjected to further tests. To reflect these developments, for the English ed ition of the book Evgeny Sveshnikov has specially selected what, in his opin ion , are the twenty-four theoretical ly most important recent games for further study material .
