Right you're! IMO Black must be ready to play sharply, and be very alert for chances of counterplay, but I guess that's true of many Sicilian lines.
A good resource for the Keres Atrtack is "Easy Guide to the Sicilian
Shcevenignen" by Steffen Pederson. Another excellent book on the
Shcevenignen is "Sicilian: ...e6 and ...d6 Systems" by Kasparov & Nikitin.
Although it's a little dated (published 1983) they do a very good job of apparently explaining the ideas behind the Scheveningen. If you do get this book, read the comments with a critical eye, though, as it seems Kaspy doesn't give up his secrets easily, for example....
In the Keres Attack, after the following moves
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e6 6.g4 h6 7.h4 Nc6
8.Rg1 *
Kasparov/Nikitin comment "An advanbce of the Kingside pawn chain with 8...h5 does not, in our opinion, solve Black's opening problems. White retains a spatial advantage and the initaitive..."
Yet the very next year, in game 1 of the first Karpov-Kasparov match.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.
