A Four Pawns Attack in the Najdorf


Looks terrible. 10...Bxd4?? fully justifies White's play. What is the idea after 10...Bxh4+ 11.Ke2 Bg3 threatening f4? I can't see a good 12th move for White. If 12.Kf3 Bxf4 13.Kxf4 my idea is to simply develop with Black and not win back the piece via ...e5+, Black already has enough compensation due to the weakness of White's dark squares and exposed White K. It looks like White has invested time to exchange his Bc1 for a knight and then completely sold out on the dark squares.
