Very well played..i do want to point out that on move 11..Bxf6 i think that gxf6 is better from what i remember about the najdorf....by doing this makes it harder for white to gain time in the center or king side...and if he miss playes it black can get d5 in with time gained against the white king...one idea would be to play Bb7, Nb6,Rd8 and then play for d5 or a solid queen side attack...it also keeps the e7 bishop avaliable for playing Bf8 and keeping an eye on h6 and g7...another idea would be to play b7, Nc5 and b4 and make e4 the target for black...one other idea would be Rb8, then Nb6-c4 and look to play on the b-file...Im not a huge player of the Najdorf for black but have seen some of these ideas played....I dont want to steer you wrong, so check your analysis and look at what i said and if im wrong let me know...Hope this helps. If you need anymore help messege me and i will help you any way i can.

Thank you,

@ rubikon thanks for the advice: im going to go over the game with another master tomorrow, and after we played he pointed out to me that gxf6 is better and helps my queenside attack.

@ firepower, play e4. attacking chess is more fun then positional grinds. trust me.

@LaExpress, your welcome, like i said if you have any questions about the Najdorf i can help you for the most part...I strongly suggest Najdorf for The Tournament player by John Nunn great book...old book but great book.
