Sveshnikov: Marcin Szelag vs Stefan Bomberger

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.

Sicilians scare me as White- for example, occupy the d5 square in the Sveshnikov with your pawn, and the LSB is hindered. And so many of White's pawn structures are too aggressive or counter-intuitive for me, especially in regards to the king side.

Yeah, this is a nice game. White must have misplayed it pretty early, probably mostly with Qh5? and the d5 knight was undermined. Black was able to take the sting out of the d5 square and use his huge space advantage on the kingside, which was much stronger than white's play on the queenside.
