Gd5,Re5,Gf5][%cal Ge4d5,Ge4f5,Rd6e5,Rd6c5,Yf1b5] Of course, the Najdorf! The
Najdorf is one of the most popular openings in the world because it's dynamic
and strategically it's very solid. Sharp tactical battles might happen in this
opening. The a6 move is very important in the Najdorf as Black needs to
control the b5-square to stop Bb5 and in the middlegame ...a6 gives support to
the b-pawn and Black can start his queenside offensive with the ...b5-move.
You can also see the synthesis of the light and dark squared strategy, as
White controls light squares with his pawn on e4 and Black controls the dark
squares.} (5... e5 $6 6. Bb5+ $1 Bd7 7. Bxd7+ Qxd7 {[%csl Gd5,Rd6,Re5,Gf5,Rf8]
This favours White, as you can see Black's light squares are weakened after e5
and the strong defender i.e. the light squared bishop is now exchanged and the
remaining dark squared bishop on f8 is not that active.}) 6. h3 {[%emt 0:00:02]
has become very popular recently and is considered as one of the main options
against the Najdorf now. It is a good way to steer the game away from regular
extensively analysed positions. Vishy Anand plays this variation quite often
and has really good results against elite players.} e5 {[%emt 0:00:23]} (6...

best one, as it is studied and analysed extensively.} Rc8 {[%emt 0:03:19]} 11.

this ...b5-move the a6-pawn will always be unprotected.} ({The simple} 11...

poses good enough problems for his opponent to try it out. Later on after he
was knocked out from the event, Anand blamed his elimination on this move.

Of course, afterwards you cannot understand why!" You can check out his video
