Easy question on openings for white according to anand vol.12

Funny enough when I tried looking at what the 12th volume would be about at work...

A warning comes up on the screen that I am not allowed to go into that "category of site"(apparently chessstars is a rather graphic site). 

 

Anyway was just wondering what the topic would be.  Is it finally going to be a suggestion against the najdorf?

It's about the Rauzer. The Najdorf will be vol. 13, according to the site.

Actually, they posted the contents of vol 13 on their site; the Scheveningen, and 6.Be3 e6 against the Najdorf. Apparently 6...e5 and 6...Ng4 have to wait until Vol. 14...
