Study: Sicilian Najdorf, Zagreb Variation

I have started a new study about the Zagreb variation in the Sicilian Najdorf defense, an unusual alternative to deal with the Najdorf variation. If there's anyone interested, this is the link.

This is a proof that how you need to already be popular to make a popular study and unpopular people's studies have no way to become popular.
How about trying to exchange a black knight for your dark-square bishop?
You can do that to get more control on the d5 square, not a bad choice I guess.
I don't know why, but some of the games I saw in this line had white playing h3 and g4. I suggest you look it up.
Here is an example where white profits from the d5 square.

Thank you for the game, a really good example of what we are talking about.
