How to equalize in 6.h3 Sicilian Najdorf (Adams Attack)?
Posted: Sat May 04, 2019 8:04 pm
So here's the position:
[d]rnbqkb1r/1p2pppp/p2p1n2/8/3NP3/2N4P/PPP2PP1/R1BQKB1R b KQkq - 0 6
It seems that this tiny 6.h3 move is the critical line of Najdorf. No wonder that it is very popular among top GMs these days. So I tried to equalize as black - of course with help of Stockfish - and couldn't find equality. I've looked at:
6...e5 7.Nde2 b5 - but here 8.Ng3 gives White slight edge.
6...e5 7.Nde2 h5 - here after 8.g3 White is somewhat better.
6...e6 7.g4 - this is mess, but I couldn't find anything close to 0.00.
6...b5 - according to my analysis, this is so far the most promising move, but I'm not sure how to assess position after 7.Nd5 e6 8.Nxf6+ Qxf6 9.g3.
So, I belive that in order to solve this, great depth and huge computing power are required. Can someone perform such analysis with Stockfish from the given position?
