A Masterclass in the Najdorf

https://lichess.org/kSIR5g7q/ ... This game has all the elements of a Najdorf classic masterclass. A well calculated pawn sac on d5, piece activity, a kingside initiative and an elegant finish. Sorry if that sounded arrogant, I just am extremely proud of how I played this one :P. As always,feel free to leave your comments, thoughts, questions below.

Nice game 14...d5 was very strong.
The position was equal before his 28 Nc6? met a crushing refutation.

Nice!
I especially liked 20. ...h4. I couldn't see the idea at all.

@WildTiger Thanks :D . White is weak on the dark squares, especially with by dark squared B being unopposed, so it makes sense to push and create more weaknesses in white's kingside.

@tpr I thought after I pushed e4, e3 he was already in trouble, but also the computer later told me that Be4 was inaccurate and perhaps white could've saved the game at that point.

Okay Klip, now that you have broken your hand via patting yourself on the back, how about some losses?

I didn't praise myself @Unthinkabl3 , I praised this game. Analyze it with a computer or a very strong player, and it/the player will praise it too. There's very little about what I said that's not expressible in objective measurements.

I'm calling bullshit. Every game you have posted is you winning in some brilliant fashion. Now lets see some losses because it is obvious you don't win every game you play.

You are a braggart whether you admit it or not lol

Or shall I start posting the losses in order to bring you back down to earth?

@Unthinkabl3 Do you have a problem pal? I post games that I find inspiring to talk about. If they happen to be wins, that's how it goes. It even makes sense. If you think you can blackmail/threaten me into posting games I don't want to post, you're wrong. If you don't wanna look at my games because my "bragging" is something you find annoying, feel free to not look at my forum posts.
