| Jul-17-07 | | SniperOnKN2: What's with Sveshnikov playing the kalashnikov sicilian rather than his own variation!? |
|
| Nov-07-08 | | aazqua: How can there only be one real Sveshnikov in Sveshnikov's notable games?? On a side note, the idea of copyrighting chess moves is absolutely ridiculous. Chess players need to get a grip and realize that they're destined to be poor because the game is utterly unwatchable by the masses. |

| Nov-14-08 | | ellenliisbet: I see his playing in the currect chess olympiad:
GM Sveshnikov Evgeny 2525 - 1
GM Avrukh Boris 2657 - 0
a good result for him |

| Nov-15-08 | | kramputz: No big deal, after e5 move the Knight back to Nf3. Black move e5 is anti-positional anyway. Nb5 is a lousy place for the Knight. |

Very nice article by Sveshnikov himself with a lot of interesting photos: http://chesspro.ru/_events/2010/sve... |

 | | HeMateMe: Everytime I see that name, I'm reminded of the Kalishnikov rifle, the sturdy AK-47, the weapon of choice of third world soldiers. A funny anectode from a tournament Svishnikov competed in: [In the above picture from 1978, Sveshnikov is playing in Cienfuegos, Cuba. In the ChessPro article he recalls that the country was idyllically beautiful, like a scene from the "Bounty" – sand, palm trees, swimming in the sea. "We were warned to look out for sharks in the bay, so one player stood watch while the others swam. I was in the water with the young< Artur Yusupov> when suddenly I felt a terrible pain. Artur rushed to my assistance and then he started screaming in pain. We had stepped on sea urchins! Artur had 30 spines in his foot – and still had a game to play on that day. We were taken to the hospital for treatment, which consists of disinfecting the wounds with iodine. The spines are left in the foot, where they dissolve after two weeks." In Cienfuegos Sveshnikov took the first place, Yusupov came third. "Second place went to the American< Larry Christiansen>. At the closing we all received our cash prizes, the Soviet participants in pesos, the Americans in dollars. I suggested to Larry that we exchange his second prize for my first, but he waved his arms and screamed 'No, no, no!' We were able to exchange our pesos at the embassy, but we had to pay a tax to the state, in my case seven thousand dollars. <And that in a country where an automobile cost $1,500. So I paid up for five Ladas!">] |

|
| Feb-16-10 | | stanleys: As Sveshnikov explains, just before making this picture http://chesspro.ru/_images/material..., he was told that he had a cancer.He writes :"I made this pic for my children" |
|
| Feb-16-10 | | Dravus: Sveshnikov is correct. Players should have rights to their games. In chess, intellectual property was never a better term. It's all there on the chessboard, the personalities, highlights and all. |
|
| Feb-16-10 | | whatthefat: I like Sveshnikov's namesake opening, but his views on assigning IP rights to players seem ludicrously impractical for a whole host of reasons. To name just a few: (1) How could it ever be reasonably enforced? Either top-flight games would have to be made confidential (i.e., the loss of chess's primary purpose, which is to entertain), or else players would simply not be permitted to play something played before and would be expected to be aware of all other players' rights. And how is a player sitting at Linares to be aware of an opening innovation made the week before in an obscure Open by a 1500 player, or in an online correspondence game? (2) At what point in the game would copyright be applied? Since 1.e4 has been played before, can it no longer be played again? Or are we interested only in innovations from some arbitrary point onwards? If applied strictly, chess would very quickly dry up. Or is it okay to mimic another game so long as the entire score is not identical? The rule rather loses its effectiveness, but even in that case there are problems, e.g., what if the opponent walks into a 4 move checkmate? Can the aggressor deliver mate, or must they play something else? And what of transpositions? (3) What is to prevent players from selling their rights to other players? Leading players could create monopolies on openings by enlisting large teams of seconds to play critical lines and then sell the rights on to the leading player. |

| Feb-16-10 | | Dravus: Royalties should be paid by media, not individual players (unless they are doing something commercial with it beyond competing in a regular tournament game), for reproducing a player's "unique" positions, I suppose.
You can listen to Elton John with friends, but if you use it at your ballet or dance studio, you have to pay a royalty.
A chess position has been likened to a box score, with no copyright. But it is quite easy to see how a composer should have protection for his composition should it be borrowed in a publication. But enforcement would be hard, and perhaps a player should be paid only $3 per game (or per position) per issue for its reproduction. |

| | HeMateMe: When I saw this name in the Olympiad, I thought maybe its a common name in Russia, or, perhaps he is a cousin of the man who's name is on an opening...but it is the same Sveshnikov of old. Who is he playing for here? |
|
| Apr-02-11 | | Everett: This GM has one of the most straightforward opening repetoires in the history of the game. Opens e4 and plays the following against the 5 major responses: Alapin Sicilian
French Advance
Panov-Botvinnik Caro-Kann
Petrov Modern Attack
Scotch
The first two fit together very well. |
|
| Nov-03-11 | | rapidcitychess: He's playing in the European team championship, apparently. |
