According to a Yearbook article from 2011 the line is bad for Black. I just give the main variation below - the conclusion of the authors (Bekker/Goudriaan) is: "There is some room for analysis here, but we have analysed many lines and White seems to be just winning. All the other lines are really interesting and Black has nice counterplay."

So you have to come up with something against this variation and 7...Nc6 will be fine again...


Nice that you mention it.
Bekker was a pupil of mine and still plays in my team.
I learnt him to play this variation after which Goudriaan, also a (former) teammate picked up this line too.
If you want to play this line try 13...Rb8, like Bekker lately played against IM Twan Burg (draw). This game must be in the database.
Ok, I found it also here:

In your opinion, is still viable the line 7.., Nc6 suggested in the Tony Kosten's book "Easy Guide to the Najdorf"?

Tnx
