Najdorf - A New Knight Sacrifice!

If you open your ChessBase and start clicking on the most played moves (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 etcetera) you will end up in a razor-sharp position of the Najdorf. Until 2020 the consensus was that Black had to move his knight backwards to e8, but in recent years a brand-new approach has been found: playing the active move 13...Nh5 and soon sacrificing that knight in return for a strong attack on White's king!> > > > Let me guide you through the history of this line:> > > > ## Previous Consensus: 13...Ne8 is the best move

Modern discovery in 13...Nh5: the knight sacrifice
