Sicilian Defence, Najdorf, Opocensky Variation
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.
