The Keres Attack happened.
I think it's still probably totally fine at our level. It just lost relevance compared to the Najdorf, as the Najdorf is more flexible and can transpose into the Scheveningen. a6 is normally played in the Scheveningen anyway.
Maybe the tempo on a6 can sometimes be used for other things. In the Scheveningen - Fischer-Sozin Attack, a5 can be a useful move, for example.
