The Chelyabinsk (or as it is called in the West, the Sveshnikov) finally was played in game 8 of the World Championship match!

Kramnik has played the Sveshnikov, and the Classical Sicilian as well. In Kramnik's book, "Kramnik: My Life and Games", there are two games which were both played in 1995, 5 years before his WC match against Kasparov.

The first game was against Ljubomir Ljubojevic, in Belgrade, 1995. Now, Ljubojevic is known as an attacking player; his games are quite spectacular! But in his game. Kramnik is the attacker!

The second game is against Lutz, in the Bundesliga. Again, a brilliant attack!
