I was checking Najdorf Lines and they are just crazy!!! After watching those lines I think I had never played real theory before.
A brief example can be found in my study.
I knew the line up to b5 and I thought I knew theory! How innocent of me lol!
http://es.lichess.org/study/iMl0Hn1xI appreciate your efforts to collect all variations of the Bg5 Najdorf, however, I think, this will be quite a tiring task (though it's your choice).
And btw, are you covering this line for black and white or only for white?
And nobody would consider 7. ... Be7 to be the main line. That's just incorrect.
I mean calling it the main line is incorrect.
I am a Najdorf Player and so I need to study them and thought I would help a little bit the community by doing so. I really dont know what you reffer to as where a line is covered for black or white. The moves are the same and the ideas remain the same.
Also, I would call Be7 the mainline. It is the most played move therefore the main move, therefore the mainline.
7...Be7 is the most played move according to Chess365 with over 5230 games in the database. So again, Im pretty sure it is the mainline.
You're right, I mixed something up.
Sorry.
Well, if you cover it for black, then you have to look at various different systems by white.
I don't see Qe2 instead of Qf3 for example.
Is it possible to contribute, because I think I know some interesting lines for white.
Excellent study
@hatchet!
As I said, I appreciate his work, however, criticism is a part of improvement.
Hatchet, Ill look for some Qe2 lines. And Ill add them, you are right. I agree with you in everything but the Be7 thing
