White has a genuine space advantage, but his outpost on d6 cannot be maintained. The solution is impressive. At first glance it appears that in what follows d4 might be the most vulnerable spot for either side. In fact, the opposite coloured bishops live up to their reputation. They favour the attacker, and in particular a direct attack on the king. An excellent assessment from the talented Sasikiran.

♦️ Lev Abramovich Polugaevsky was an International Grandmaster of chess and frequent contender for the World Championship, although he never achieved that title.

🔸 Full name: Lev Abramovich Polugaevsky
🔸 Country: Soviet Union Belarus
🔸 Born: 20 November 1934 Mogilev, Soviet Union
🔸 Died: 30 August 1995 (aged 60) Paris, France
🔸 Title: Grandmaster (1962)

♦️Lev Polugayevsky took second place in a strong Russian tournament, gaining his master norm. Polugaevsky was twice Soviet champion, in 1967 [rusbase-1] and 1968 [rusbase-2] and twice finished runner-up. He participated in five Candidates matches. Polugaevsky had an excellent record in the Olympiads as well. He was one of the most influential theoreticians of his day and contributed heavily to the development of the Sicilian Najdorf. One of the most complex variations of the opening bears his name, the Sicilian, Najdorf (B96) Polugaevsky variation: 1.e4 c5 2.♘f3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.♘xd4 ♘f6 5.♘c3 a6 6.♗g5 e6 7.f4 b5.
