The modern mainline against the Najdorf, where White plays 6.Be3 and prepares f3, Qd2 and O-O-O, launching a kingside pawn storm with g4 and h4. Black typically counters with ...e5 hitting the d4 knight, then races White on the queenside with ...b5, ...Nbd7 and ...Rb8. One of the sharpest opposite-side castling battles in modern chess.
