Najdorf 6.h3

Sort:
HomoEporediensis

Reading Bobby Fischer's "60 games to remember" I discovered this little know but really interesting variation with which I did some good jobs at the board...Smile! The books liquidate it in notes and little articles giving it the "?!" infamous mark... Instead I played it quite often with very good results and lead to some promising and very sharp game. Then I discovered that recently had been played by two top-GMs like Carlsen and Ponomariov and many others GMs evr with good results!

Is there anybody who experienced this little known variation and want to trade games, analysis or something other?

Here follows 2 blitz games played by me on the net:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you can find them interesting though they are always 5min blitz games
