Member Game Analysis: Najdorf Knockouts
Hello everyone, and thanks to @blueemu (black player) for sending in this game for analysis.
Before I go on, please know that as a Class-A player, my knowledge of the Sicilian defense is very naive, so bear with me! I hope you enjoy!
- Open lines against the King can call for tactical opportunities (like Nxf4)
- Be careful that if your Knight needs to retreat that you don't take away one of its important retreat squares!
- Always take caution before opening your central position when your own King is stuck there!
- In a position where open lines against the King are imminent, taking center pawns can be too greedy!
