Sicilian, Najdorf, 7...Be7 Main line

In chess, B99 is the ECO code for the Sicilian, Najdorf, 7...Be7 Main line chess opening. The game begins 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Be7 8.Qf3 Qc7 9.O-O-O Nbd7. White's most promising continuation is 10.g4 but a leading proponent, Nick de Firmian considers 10.Bd3 to be 'entertaining'. Play is often sacrificial but with care, Black can hold the balance if pieces are exchanged. Miguel Najdorf first played this in 1956 in Montevideo against Fernando Rubio Aguado. Bobby Fischer has done the best with the Black pieces and Jan Timman has done very well as White.
