Well comps are not afraid of the Sicilian you know

With proper analysis, White maybe even can achieve a slight
advantage against c5 (in theory), eg. against the Sveshnikov
by playing Nd5 instead of Bg5. For example 7.Nd5 Nxd5
8.exd5 Ne7 9.Nc3!? Ng6 10 Bb5N!! Any comments ?

(dont know the book Beating the Silician by Nunn but
from the title i guess he aint afraid of c5 either

best regards,
ChAn

PS for my analysis i used a new version of Bookbuilder,
(downloaded at superchess.com), and checked the eval with
Tiger 15 as this still is better than Crafty 19..
Next time i'll try the Kalashnikov..
