This thread brought to you courtesy of Nimzo5, who "wanted to post the pgn from the game Rublevsky - Zude from the Eur championships as it is highly instructive Najdorf decimation (not to mention it had been played before and Zude walked right into it.)"

Since I am off from work today and have more time to piddle with the pgn, I am the instrument and executor of his chess acumen and philanthropy!

EDIT: I should add that it is also a great example of a white knight sacrifice on f5, as referenced in the thread entitled "Sicilian".

I can't believe you got it to work.. ughh! I tried about 15x with no success.

What is cool about this game, is not just how wrong Black goes, but that 15... Bd8 is a known disaster having been played several times prior to this.

Najdorf players beware.
