The Najdorf (5...a6) is the most well-liked Sicilian opening scheme and is frequently called the "Rolls-Royce of openings." Black skillfully prevents White's knights and light-squared bishop from checking from b5 by positioning a pawn on square a6. It opens up a wide range of options but typically results in a queenside attack while simultaneously putting pressure on White's e4 pawn with a bishop on b7 or a pawn on b5.
