Black should be OK here, but I understand why this position is not to your taste.
Perhaps you should switch to the Chelyabinsk (10...f5), which is the suggestion of Kotronias in his Sveshnikov book.
Woah there, Rudi, Nc2 blocks in your bishop and makes your position uncomfortable. No wonder you drew, but imagine if you played 22. Re3! Objectively sound or not, your opponent is going to have a hell of a time figuring over the board whether to take the knight! Hopefully you understand the value of such a fighting move compared to its drawing counterpart. Your friend and constant vigil, LotsofSnuff.
Hello all, I'm brushing up on some of the deeper lines of the Sveshnikov Sicilian, and I've run into a line that is giving me some trouble.
This is a very intimidating position! I understand that black has some counterplay and activity, but I'm at a loss at where to proceed from here, especially because I don't have much choice in moves once White plays Qh3 and Qg4. I don't want to drone on too much with book moves, but I was surprised at the riposte-like nature of the opening so far.
