  GrahamClayton: "With 8. Be3 my plan was to induce my opponent to gain a few tempi at the expense of weakening his king-side slightly. I gave up my white-squared bishop for a knight (13. Bg4), obtaining temporary control of the f-file.

Realising that his white-squared bishop had limited mobility, my opponent exchanged it (18...Bf3). I neutralised Najdorf's action on the king-side, reducing his game to complete passivity. Black's principal trouble was his immobilised dark-squared bishop. On move 21 I started action on the queen-side (21.c5). The advance of the c-pawn was a serious threat.

I managed to get my pawn to c6, supported by the b-pawn. Najdorf tried everything to get counterplay, but to no avail. He finally was forced to give up a piece for the advanced pawn (39...Rc7). Having no compensation for the piece, he resigned."
