The Dangerous Najdorf

What a dynamic line!  The Najdorf is so interesting from both sides.  I won't get into some long speech about the theory, origins, etc... but I will say that it can create some very crazy games.

 

Enjoy!

Yep, spot on ... there are several promotion threats too if black holds on too eagerly.

33. ...dxc5 34. Bb5 Rh7 35. Rb8+! followed by Bxd7 wins a piece.

 

just the continuation I thought of.

i don't like playing dragondorf type positions and you would be able to crush me on both wings.

Well adam, I'd personally suggest 14. ... g6, Bg7, O-O, and then b5 ... with the rooks connected perhaps you can use the B-file before I get to it... Your bishop is decent on g7... you'll get your e4 break eventually.

Wow.  Your games just surprise me with your positional insight.  I am tactics all the time.  Your opponent didn't make many inaccuracies whatsoever, but you took full advantage of those mistakes and scored the full point.  Well done!
