anybody knows a good Sveshnikov book?

I'd like to really learn the Sveshnikov, possibly to include in my repertoire. I'm around 1700 OTB now, so I don't mind if the theory is not 100% accurate/up to date.

But I'd like a book that clearly explains the ideas behind the moves, not just blurting out long variations.

I'd also like a book with a lot of diagrams, possibly that can be read (or at least reviewed) without a board (I read books on the bus).

thanks in advance

The Easiest Sicilian by Kolev and Nedev is the best Sveshnikov book which I own.

Starting out:the sicilian sveshnikov is great, goes well beyond starting out, and is best for a new sveshnikov player.

The best, but more advanced book imo is rogozenko's sveshnikov reloaded.

Easiest sicilian is also good.

Theres a few others on the sveshnikov but i only own those three 

Kramnik: My Life and Games (2000) has many well-annotated Sveshnikovs. It was central to Kramnik's repertoire before he took up the Petroff.

Bah who needs a book :

• get active
• push ...f5 once or twice
• push your center pawns, even if you have to sacrifice some other pawn to do it
• if everything goes wrong try to steer the game into an opposite-coloured bishop endgame

There's a reason they call it 'the easiest Sicilian'

Krasenkov's for starters, Rogozenko for advanced.

Starting Out: Sicilian Sveshnikov, really goes above and beyond what the title suggests.

Thanks everybody, I'll probably buy either Easiest Sicilian or starting out: the sicilian sveshnikov.

I was able to take a look at the the sveshnikov reloaded, but it's really hard to read for me: there's a ton of variations and really few diagrams.

I was hoping I could find something that I could read and understand without a board, so with many diagrams (even because I need to visualize stuff). Which one is the better book on this regard?

Also I've seen really cheap the book "Complete Sveshnikov Sicilian" by Yakovich. Anybody has it?

Krasenkov book I can't seem to find it anywhere....

Starting Out: Sicilian Sveshnikov is terrible.  It is clear you should get The Easiest Sicilian, plutonia.

Could you please explain why? You don't like the format, the explanations, the lines, etc. ?

The Sicilian Pelikan, by Evgenny Sveshnikov...

One problem is John Cox doesn't play the Sveshnikov.

Starting Out: Sicilian Sveshnikov contains reams of insufficiently explained variations and too many references to Rogozenko.  It just indicates Cox doesn't really grasp the subject.  Of course Rogozenko is an authority on the Sveshnikov but Cox constantly hides behind Rogozenko's analysis.

You might have a look at this thread.

The Easiest Sicilian is published by Chess Stars.  The format involves a "Quick Repertoire" section for each chapter which is easy to digest.  Then they go through the moves "Step by Step" with explanations and alternatives.  Then example games round out the chapter.
