The Cutting Edge 2 - Sicilian Najdorf 6.Be3

The English Attack is one of White's sharpest replies to the Najdorf, and Milos Pavlovic goes looking for improvements in the positions where it is actually fought out. Rather than rehearsing old games, he picks the critical battlegrounds after 6.Be3 and analyses them as deeply as he can, so the work points ahead of established theory instead of trailing behind it.

The coverage is wide: the Topalov lines with ...b5 and ...b4, the Perenyi Attack with an early g4, the long main line with opposite castling, a Scheveningen move order, and the 6...e5 systems, including the Vallejo Pons variation and lines with f4. This is the second volume in Quality Chess's Cutting Edge series. It is a serious working tool for ambitious players on either side of the Najdorf who want fresh ideas ready before the game begins.
