Well if going with Nc6 stuff vs the English attack - not an absurd choice I think? - then 6 Be3 Nc6 does seem to more or less avoid all that rather dangerous nonsense Smiley

The ... e6 set up is not a good idea from a practical perspective. Can you imagine the amount of theory after 6. Be3 e6 7. g4 alone? Not to mention the classical stuff. But then if he wants to write it then who am I to say no (actually as a reader I hope he does write it based on ... e6).

Also Khalifman's book on Najdorf will also come out in 2010 so a good strategy is to wait and see what is in there.

I don't actually - there's quite enough to cover even if he does just one of them! Especially 6 Be2 e6 leads to all sorts of things....

Qualitychess' blog indicates that their GM Repertoire covering the Sicilian is planned (hoped) for February 2010. In an earlier blog post Mr Aagaard said that Mr Ftacnik was falling behind and wasn't sure yet if he covered the Scheveningue set-up or the Najdorf or both. I hope it will be both.

What I dont like is that this book probably will be a Najdorf with e6 set up.
For me that will always be the Scheveningen. Najdorf is pure -e5 pawn formation...as I view it..... except against 6.Bg5 and 6. Bc4.

Like there aren't enough books on e5 systems.

All books seem to treat e5 systems as pure Najdorf.

I remember when I and a opponent analysed a Najdorf game (team match in Superettan) where I was white and had played g3 variation. He replied e6 and after the game he wanted to know more about the theory on g3 so I went home and showed him a book and we had to flip into schveningen in order to find more about the positon after e6! (And we discorered improvments for both sides, particelly for white. Our game became a draw, I was a pawn up but had an insecure king agianst a stronger player so we took repetition of moves.)
