  KingG: In his DVD on the Najdorf(part 2), Kasparov recommends 15.Nxe6!?, and calls it a 'present from the famous Kasparov personal database'.

His analysis continues

15...h5!(15...fxe6 16.Rhe1 )

16.Qh3!

16...fxe6
(16...g4 17.Nc7+ Qxc7 18.Rhe1+ Ne5 19.Qg3 Bg7 (19...Nbd7 20.Bf5 ) 20.Bxb5+ Kf8 (20...axb5 21.Rxe5+ ) 21.Rd8+ Qxd8 22.Bxd8 axb5 23.Be7+ Kxe7 24.Rxe5+±; 16...Bh6 17.Nxg5!? (17.Kb1!? g4 18.Nc7+) 17...Bxg5+ 18.Kb1)

17.Rhe1 Qf4+ 18.Kb1 Qxh4 19.Qxe6+ Kd8 20.Bf5 Kc7 21.Nd5+ Bxd5 22.Qxd5, with an attack.

Apparently Black went wrong in this game with 17...Bxg5, when he should have played 17...fxe6 18.Bg6+ Kf8 19.Rhf1+ Qf6!–+.
