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. Many people think Black is worse because of th... Started 08/20/16 at 19:23:56 by NegiRefutes (Ex Member) |

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. The opponents played something harmless I think but what would they do on...

Do you ever play the classical Najdorf as White?
Hello everyone. I'm interested in playing the classical (6.Be2) variation against the Najdorf, yet so far I've only found one book which covers this variation from the White side, Slaying the Sicilian...

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. It is very, very complex. I have...

English Attack move orders
In the english attack with 6...e5, why does white usually delay g4 and g5? To be more specific, after 6...e5 7.Nb3 Be6 8.f3 Nbd7, sometimes white plays 9.g4 but more often he plays 9.Qd2, allowing the...

Najdorf 6.Bg5 e5
What do you think about the move 6...e5 in the 6.Bg5 Najdorf ? It´s almost never played. Is it really that bad?
