Sicilian Defense: Najdorf Variation, English AttackBETA

Often correct in the English attack, e5 takes control of the center, kicks the d4-knight back (often to b3), and allows for both bishops to actively develop to e6 and e7.

The English attack, starting after Be3, f3, Qd2, and O-O-O, leads to slower positions than the more active Bg5 Najdorf. White first plans to castle queenside before launching g4, h4, g5, h5, etc for a ferocious kingside attack. Black on the other hand gets stronger control of the center with e5, and more liberated pieces.
