white knight on d5 will be unplayable. Black will simply capture Nf:d5 and

lines of Sveshnikov Sicilian one should be very well prepared. But even so the
evaluation of those lines is often far from clear. That's why from time to
time we see on the high level how White players are looking for new ideas in
less popular variations. The present line was often met in the practice long
time ago and used lately by Anand, although without particular success.
White's point after 13...0-0 is to play 14 exf5 (14 0-0=) Bxd5 15 f6.  In
spite of the constantly raising popularity of Sveshnikov Sicilian there are a
lot of unexplored territories and often we witness the following scenario:
White is having an idea in a particular variation, but the opponent steps into
a different direction before White is able to implement his initial idea. I
suppose this was the case of the present game.} Rb8 {A rare move. After the
common 13...e4 Black was successfully solving all opening problems, so it
remains unclear where exactly White prepared an improvement.} (13... O-O {

aspire for an advantage.} Nc6 3. Nf3 d5 {Black immediately clarifies the
