Sjirov also comments his 1996 Dortmund win against J.Polgar with this infamous gambit in Fire on the Board. Somewhere I have read this comment, which seems quite appropriate: The Perenyi Gambit is a forced draw, unless Sjirov plays it - then it is a forced win for White.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

You can get an idea of Shirov's analysis (on his Najdorf DVD) from this book review: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/hansen88.pdf

Apart from the sources mentioned I imagine both Informator, NIC Yearbooks and Harding's Mega (Ultra?) Corr. should have some relevant analysis, but I haven't really checked.

Yeah, I actually just upgraded so I could view the material in the e-books. It's not bad I suppose. Nunn and Gallagher's book is nowhere to be found (reasonably). I also have Rocking the Ramparts, and was familiar with the Shirov-Topalov game featured in it. I do appreciate all the help that's been offered so far!

Chesspub is always a great place to start, for any line.

There is also John Emms: Play the Najdorf, Scheveningen Style which is a Black repertoire book. I don't have it but I think his recommendation for Black involved an early h-pawn move (either 7...h5 or 7...e5 8.Nf5 h5).

There was also some coverage of the Perenyi line with the piece sac on Shirov's DVD "My Best Games in the Najdorf", and briefly in Christiansen's book on attacking play "Rocking the Ramparts".

Kasparov gives the Perenyi some coverage in his 'Revolution in the 70s'. Don't forget there's also some coverage on ChessPub too  Wink

ECO actually classifies it as a Keres (B81), which seems kind of odd (since after 6. g4 a6 White would usually play 7. g5).  


Yes, you're right, B81.

Shirov has also played some of the big games in this line.

BTW, I am sure you know this already, but if you are looking for sources, then note that, although this line often arises from a Najdorf move order in practice, ECO classifies it as a Scheveningen under code B80.  For example, the coverage of this line here at ChessPublishing.com is in the  Scheveningen ebook.  If you are a subscriber, its an excellent place to start.

Yeah, that's where I saw it (as stated in the OP) Unfortunately this line is obviously incredibly sharp, so just looking at some Polgar games probably won't do it. I will check out Gallagher and Nunn and compare it with recent games in Chessbase, hopefully that will work.

It's called the Perenyi attack, named for a Hungarian IM who died in an auto accident a couple of decades ago.  One game I recall with it is Timman-Smeets from the Dutch championship a couple of years ago, in which Timman played a move/line he had analyzed with Judit.
Yes, Polgar used to play this line all the time. Check out some of her games.

I don't know much about this line either but I have at least a couple of times at my club seen games of strong players play it so it can't be that bad, at least not in practice. One player in particular playes this whenever he gets the chance and he is of 2200 streangth.

I know Kasparov talks a bit about it in his latest DVD.

Other than that, it was covered in Nunn/Gallagher "Complete Najdorf: Modern Lines" but that book's pushing 10 years old, I think. Still important but a lot's happened since then.

Of course I'm not nearly as well-studied as almost anyone else here, but that's all I can think of at the moment...

Hello, I am interested in checking out White's prospects in this line after seeing Polgar smash more than one world class player. Is there any material on this line (for White) in print or on the net? Thanks...
