This is an instructive game that shows the dynamic possibilities for black in the sveshnikov sicilian. First black covers his weakness (d5) and gains a central majority. He played ambitiously to get his pawn center active, sacrificing a pawn in the process. This translated into a strong kingside attack and once white created some unnecessary weaknesses the game was in black's hands.

Nice analysis. It looks like some of Kasparov's ideas have had quite an effect on our masters.
