Sicilian Defence, Najdorf, Opocensky VariationEdit
Moves: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be2
6. Be2 is not played as often in response to black pushing 5. ...a6 as is 6. Bg5 or 6. Be3, but it is a solid move. White's bishop at e2 can keep an eye on g4 while allowing for a king side castle.
