Hello all,
I was talking to French GM Igor Alexandre Nataf yesterday on ICC briefly, and thought I'd just show everyone some of his best games. Because he's not 2750+, some of you might not have heard of him, but he's an amazing player. A great calculator, very creative, and a deadly attacking player, he's played some of the best tactical games in recent times in my opinion. He's also an expert on the Sveshnikov/Kalashnikov Sicilians and the KID. He's the trainer of Teimour Radjabov as well. Unsurprising given his repertoire and Radja's. Nunn-Nataf is a fairly well known game, but it's well worth a look if you've never seen it!

He also gave Radjabov the opening idea (11...Bf6 and 12...Nge7) used in this spectacular game:
