Hi,

Does anyone have examples in the sicilian (Najdorf) where white has chose to execute Bg5*Nf6 early doubling blacks pawns on the f file and making black's castling awkward.

I ask because this rarely seems to happen in reference games and it would be interesting to see any games where black (in particular) has taken advantage of the extra pawns in the centre of the board and bishop pair, whilst avioding problem of leaving the King in the centre of the board.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Cheers,
Mr Hope

No worries. That's wasn't for the Nadjorf though. I don't think i've seen that move in that Nadjorf before in master play.
