...t does anyone know the line where black tries to go for a queenside castle?.
Here's a game of mine against Robert Hamilton, who later peaked at 2349 FIDE (that's a genuine FIDE rating, not online).
very often in the Richter-Rauzer and Bg5 najdorf castling kingside is too dangerous for black so he leaves his king in the center or goes queenside. that says something about how dangerous the Bg5 mainlines can be...
I've got a very nice Sicilian Najdorf just finishing now that I want to show you people. It's an ongoing vote-chess game (72 hours per move), and it's all over but the crying (we have a forced mate next move) but our opponents seem to be playing it out all the way to mate so it should be officially over in another eight days or so. I'll post it then.
As White, we sac'd a Pawn to open up the center. The Black King got squeezed out of the center early, and had to castle K-side because his Q-side bolt-hole wasn't ready. Carnage ensued.
this game?
blacks game started to fall apart after 13.Bg5+
