a)7..Be6,
b)7..Ng4
c)7..Be7
in this repertoire against the Sicilian Najdorf with White.
As a reminder, the tabiya (key position) and the analysis we present arises after 1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cd4 4 Nd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6 6 Be3 e5 7 Nde2 !?
Alternatives moves for Black:
Variation d) 7..Nbd7 8 Ng3 Qc7 - these are standard moves for Black in the Najdorf.
9 Nh5 Nh5
White can play 10 Nd5! as a strong switchenzug (intermediary) move. 10..Qa5+ 11 b4 Qd8 12 Qh5 Nf6 13 Qh4.
Here Black played 13..Nd5 forcing an ending in Nisipeanu-Bologan 2006, Black lost in 25 moves
Black should play 13..Be7 14 Ne7 Qe7 15 Bd3 Be6 15 O-O (Analysis) with a += position.
Variation e) 7..Nbd7 8 Ng3 g6!? 9 a4 Qc7 as played in Nisipeanu-Topalov which final result is a draw.
Here rather than Nisipeanu's 10 Qd3 Nc5 11 Qc4 Be6 12 Nd5!? which ended in a equal ending,
I recommend 10 a5!? reaching the following:
Position after 10 a5!? in variation e)
