Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, Adams AttackBETA

44%50%

    The typical Najdorf bid for central control is good here too. Black can sometimes follow-up with h5, stopping white's main kingside expansion for good.


Originally developed by Michael Adams in the 1980s, this odd looking setup actually prepares g4 in order to gain kingside space and potentially launch a kingside attack. By not playing f3, there is also room for playing f4 in the attack as well.
