  fredthebear: Beginning w/the center pawn fork trick, Najdorf wins this game with superior pawn play. White piles on the pinned f-pawn and breaks through with advantage.

It's been done.

Janowski vs Lasker, 1904

Nunn vs Hodgson, 1991

SF thinks Black is pretty much busted after ...Bb4, though. 7....Bd6 is playable.

  keypusher: Incidentally, in the DB there are 13 games in which Najdorf has White against Pilnik. This is the only time he plays 1.e4. Maybe he knew something?
