If it were people wouldn't bother with 4....Nf6 which is designed to force 5.Nc3 so that white cannot establish the dreaded Maroczy bind with 5.c4. 5.Nc3 just transposes to main line after 5...Nf6 So if you see 90% of the time the Najdorf move order being 4... Nf6 5.Nf3 a6 it's precisely because 4...a6 allows 5.c4 and that most black players want to avoid at any cost getting into a Maroczy. As I said in our private thread, the only reason lots of white players go 5.Nc3 anyway is because they are not prepared to get out of theory in a ground that black might have prepared extensively, and black is the one that gets into the unorthodox move order. There is absolutely no reason to let white go c4 unless you have cooked something really special, and white players, being worried of stepping in a theoretical minefield prepared by their opponent, usually prefer transposing back into the main line than doing this otherwise much superior move. Don't trust your database to call a move the best because it is played more often. That's not how chess works. Welcome to Orient. | ||

Maroczy has a clear goal and is somewhat easy to plöay if you have the time to think (I don't like it in 20m or shorter games though) Well, in Maroczy you somewhat have to get free of your horrendously cramped position by liquidating everything without being obliterated or left with a lost position. Personally, I find more exciting to play the regular Yugoslav or even any Najdorf where you play a very aggressive game and aim for a winning queenside attack. Question of taste. | ||
