Secrets of Opening Surprises

Apr-28-04    Vischer: This usually comes out of the Najdorf with ...a6 first and then ...e6 Mar-26-06    shr0pshire: I am writing a theory article about a line in this variation. If anyone could offer any feedback I would appreciate it! http://www.thekibitzer.info/index.p... Thanks. Shr0p. Mar-26-06    drukenknight: after you're done helping Shrop. write a book for me, too. Mar-26-06    James Demery: Hey drukenknight I haven`t seen you posting in a while. Jul-03-07    Chess Carnival: Is it right to call this line of the Scheveningen the 'Paulsen Variation'? I'm confused about the names.. What is the 'Paulsen Variation' of the sicilian? Jul-03-07    yavuz1990: I knew this position as Sicilian Najdorf Opocensky Variation :) until now. Maybe all three are the same. Jul-03-07    Chess Carnival: <yavuz1990> Yes, no doubt it is, to say the least, a Najdorf-Scheveningen hybrid. <Maybe all three are the same> Probably, you are right. Jun-04-08    Xeroxx: In the Opocensky variation black usually plays e7-e5.
