1. e2e4  1... c7c5  2. g1f3  2... e7e6 If you want to play the Sveshnikov Variation but don't want to allow White to play the Rossolimo (3.Bb5), then this is the move order to choose. White gets another option, as we'll see. 3. d2d4  3... c5d4  4. f3d4  4... g8f6  5. b1c3  5... b8c6 Here White has an important choice to make: face Sveshnikov, one of the lines with the best reputation in the Sicilian, or else capture on c6. I'm not an expert on either of these two lines, but it looks like Black is holding up well on both. 6. d4b5  6... d7d6  7. c1f4  7... e6e5  8. f4g5  8... a7a6  9. b5a3  9... b7b5 Here White has another important decision to make: capture on f6 or play 10.Nd5. Both are very popular. In my king pawn days, I used to choose the second option, influenced by one of my favorite opening books and which I studied with dedication as a child: \"Beating The Sicilian\" by John Nunn. 10. c3d5  10... f8e7  11. g5f6  11... e7f6  12. c2c3 This is the move suggested by Nunn in the aforementioned book. And that's as far as I can remember: unfortunately, I lost the book in one of my many residence changes since the early 1990s. 12... f6g5  13. a3c2  13... a8b8  14. f1e2  14... e8g8  15. e1g1
