I checked in Palliser's "Fighting the Anti-Sicilians" and unfortunately the line is not covered.  He concentrates on Bd3, Be2, Na3 and Be3.

Thank you!
This old Sveshnikov monograph is not easy to get. Maybe someone know other sources?

One book that addresses it is Sveshnikov's Informant monograph from fifteen years ago.  Basically it gave 6...Nc6 as leading to an edge for White, and 6...Be7 and 6...cd as leading to equality.

Incidentally one game with 6. Nbd2 which stuck in my memory is Schmittdiel versus Thomas Ernst, which Gary Lane annotated in his c3 book perhaps 22 years ago.

Is tehere any book covering 1. e4 c5 2. c3 d5 3. exd5 Qxd5 4. d4 Nf6 5. Nf3 e6 6. Nbd2 variation? Is this variation playable for white, or maybe black have easy way to equality? I couldn't find anything about this variation in Sveshinkov;s book...
