I recently played a game were my opponent played a najdorf-sicilian with black, and i ended up in a position that was simply... too complex for me. I normally prefer cristall clear play (although always aggressive and quite alot sacrifices) were my plans are clear, but in this position i wasn't sure what to do and analysis showed afterwards that I did mistake over mistake (although mostly unpunished by my opponent).
I ask myself if everybody is struggling with those closed, cramped positions or if i have to improve my play in that part of the game (i'm not even sure on how to do this...)
There are certainly very difficult positions arising in the Najdorf and your opponent playing black probably knows the line much better than you.
The only way to master those positions is to study your loss and go beyond running the computer analysis. A 15 10 game is pretty short to try and figure everything out over the board.
Or you can play a closed Sicilian.
/ If you post the game here and point out the position (s) you were confounded by, others may be able to help.
