That variation of the Najdorf you are talking about is the English attack, right?

6. Be3 ... The english attack does setup this way but I perfer the move 6. Bc4 ... The Sozin Variation a little better.
Two reasons I don't play 6. Be3 is because i don't like the replys I get with 6. Be3 Ng4 and I don't like 6. Be3 e5 7. Nb3 b5 which I play as black to stop the
white bishop getting the nice a2-g8 diagonal.
So I play Bc4 first then set up an english type attack starting with f3 then Be3.
