A line TonyRo mentions in a previous thread (not going to dig for it) causes problems for black after 13...Rf6.

Black's better off sticking to the Radjabov endorsed 13...Ng6. 

Why aim for a rare sideline in a line that's fine for black?

Iīm not sure wether you asked for black possibilities in this position or for earlier alternatives.

Last sunday a friend of mine played the straightforward 13...Rf6 planning and executing Rh6, Nf6, Qe8, Qh4 with a crushing attack. This idea isnīt new, but white has to bee very careful.

A quick database research told me that black can get easy wins (as happened last sunday), and the move is played at higher levels, just watch Kortchnoj./.Cheparinov played in 2009.


After 13...Rf6, White's best is probably still 14.c5 (14.b4 Rh6 15.c5 looks a bit slow), when 14...Nc5 15.b4 Na6 16.Nb5 was analysed in another thread on the Forum, although from memory White didn't have any edge in this position.

Instead 16.Nd3 Rh6 17.a4 (perhaps White can improve here?) 17...Qe8 18.Kh1 Bd7! was completely fine for Black in Vera-Nataf, a game Black went on to win.
  

All our dreams come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

Quick question

I am an e4 player but against a certain opponent I think I have better chances playing against his Kings-Indian than against his Najdorf. 

A few of his games have gone as follows and I am 95% sure I can reach this position against him if I want to:

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. Ne1 Nd7 10. Be3 f5 11. f3 f4 12. Bf2 g5 13. Rc1 Ng6 14. c5 Nxc5 15. b4 Na6

My question is if there are any rare and tricky alternatives to this position that I can play in this case?
