Najdorf Poisoned Pawn

The most notorious line in the Najdorf. After 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Black grabs the b2 pawn with 7...Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb2, inviting a ferocious attack in return for material. Fischer trusted it against the world's best, and modern engines confirm Black is holding by the narrowest of margins.
