re:Najdorf sacrifice - 2006/07/04 23:25
A good example of this theme occuyrs after:
1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Be7 8.Qf3 Nb8-d7(instead of Qc7) 9.Bc4
Now black must be careful, & markedly try something like ....Nc5, or else castle and hang on tight.
I`ve had several A players newly try 9....b5? against me, and fall into 10.Bxe6! Now black must either castle and play the game a pawn down, or else try to survive 10....fxe6, 11.Nxe6, Qb6, 12.Nxg7+.
Whenever white has a Nd4 and a Bc4, with a black P on e6, watch out for sacs on e6, especially if the QN on d7 blocks the QB`s view of that square. These sacs can often, (not alwasys), be successively prevented or defusaed, but they can be decisive if allowed, so be careful!
Of course, black can always just play 2...Nc6.

Character is much easier kept than recovered.
