Kibitzer's Corner
Feb-07-02  bishop: Najdorf's defensive strategy is worth noting .Against the threatening f and g pawns he puts a knight on g8 and plays f6.He is ready to answer g6 with ..h6 and if black takes on f6 then he is ready to defend along the second rank.In the meantime he keeps an eye on white's b pawn.
Nov-18-05  AlexanderMorphy: how come this sicilian is named afte rhim when he doesn't have a grea trecord with it...33 wins 13 draws and 17 loses
Nov-18-05  RookFile: I wish I had a record like that with
black.
Apr-29-15  zydeco: High-level draw. White's position looks very threatening, but, as the game plays out, Najdorf seems never to be in any real danger,
Sep-12-22  jerseybob: <zydeco: High-level draw. White's position looks very threatening, but, as the game plays out, Najdorf seems never to be in any real danger> I'd say both sides are in danger, with defensible positions. But, if either side tries for more, he might end up losing. That's dynamic equality.
