Throw a bone in this. Isn't the Sveshnikov a very difficult opening for black due to the fact that the g pawn gets broken and castling on the kingside can leave black quite vulnerable. Especially when the white queen goes to the h file?

 

blacks position is not so easy to attack. Personally I have never had trouble against this continuation.

How about this line which is popular also?

Niente-e-Nessuno

I like Taimanov variation. It can also transpose into Scheveningen, if desired or required.
