Motylev-Giri 6.Bd3 They played a couple of games in the FIDE World Cup blitz/rapid just now with 6.Bd3 Nbd7 7.0-0 g6. Seems like weird play by both sides, any thoughts? I thought 6...e6 was very comfortable for Black. Started 09/08/17 at 18:04:17 by TN	0	2551	09/08/17 at 18:04:17 By: TN

Bg5 Najdorf - do you play a3? In many lines of the Bg5 Najdorf, Black will play .. b5. In his annotations in 60 Memorable Games, Fischer would reckon that a3 was mandatory.

6. Bg5 - Completely Safe and Strong Line! Hi, There is a safe and strong line for Black with 7... Qb6 followed by ...Nc6 which seems to give Black a nice Rauzer structure with easy equality.

6. Bg5 Najdorf for Black vs. Low Rated Players I was looking at some games by some top players (Ding Liren, Wojtaszek) and they played the Najdorf against low-rated players.

Do you ever play the classical Najdorf as White? Hello everyone.

Caruana-Kovalyov, Baku 2015 Caruana won a nice game in the variation starting with 8. .. h5. This variation is quite popular in correspondence and computer engine play, probably more so than OTB.

English Attack move orders In the english attack with 6...e5, why does white usually delay g4 and g5?

"Starting Out: 1.e4!" vs the Najdorf I've decided it's time I started playing open Sicilians as White.
