6.Be2 doesn't involve much theory and relies more on strategic concepts. Usually you will have a pawn structure like this:
Does this count? ![]()
This is the Chekhover sicilain. While technically an anti sicilian, it leads to positons similar to the open sicilians.
A recent Game:
6.f4 seems pretty straight forward. After 6...e6 you get a Scheveningen and you can play f4 against that setup too. And 6...e5 leads to a change in the structure sooner or later and you can just play the game.
My friend has a video on najdorf for white. His video is >>>>

In this video he has great sounding music and notes on why he did the move against the najdorf.
Hi guys,
I want to play the open Sicilian.
I'm looking for an easy-to-learn repertoire for white against the Najdorf. Preferably something with not so much theory. Can you recommend me any books or video series?
PS: No Anti-Sicilian suggestions please
