Very sad to hear about the passing away of GM. Evgeny Sveshnikov . In my career I have spent a lot of time studying the “Sveshnikov”. I always admired his love for the game and his willingness to share it. I treasure the memory of my games with him. R. i.P

Very sad news. Evgeny Sveshnikov passed away at 71.
A really strong Grandmaster, who nearly qualified to Candidates in 1993, he was mostly known for his contribution to the opening theory. Sveshnikov system in Sicilian; his pet 2.c3, French with 3.e5 and more. He will be missed. pic.twitter.com/hqzVUS365F— Emilchess (@EmilSutovsky) August 18, 2021
