    This is a line of the Schevinigen (although it starts as a Najdorf) recommended by IM Jesus de la Villa in his book, "Dismantling the Sicilian".  The reason it is of interest to me is because a guy in my club plays the black side of it and it's appealing to me as a player who likes to take risks.

    White gives up a knight for 3 connected passed pawns and the bishop pair. Plus he will most assuredly get rooks doubled on the d-file.  I'm curious what your opinion of this position is and which side you'd rather play and why.  The position begins at 15. Rxd6

    It's black to move.

     

    Thanks.

    Thats an exciting opening depending on blacks playing level means alot, because I can see where black can hold on to the D-file with 0-0, and N-c6, and there could be a great exchange, and three pawns unopposed for white, black better be slightly better player, and know how to get the most out of his Knights.
