"Starting Out: 1.e4!" vs the Najdorf
I've decided it's time I started playing open Sicilians as White. And I thought I might use McDonald's "Starting Out: 1.e4!" as an outline repertoire, plugging the holes (of which I know there are man...

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) |

Poll:
6...e5 or 6...e6 in Najdorf?
I was interested to see which system people prefer to play as Black in the Najdorf, 6...e5 or 6...e6. Obviously this does not pertain to lines where 6...e6 is a necessity, such as 6. Bc4 or 6. Bg5.
