If you could do a sveshnikov livestream as well I’d be very grateful. I used to be a najdorf player but I decided to play the svesh as my main defense and I’m still struggling a lot from the black side, specially against 9.Bxf6. And by the way, I know that your favourite variation in Bxf6 is the Bg7 line, but what do you think I should focus on as black, Bg7 or f5?
Deflection is when we force a piece to not guard something without physically removing it from the board. We don't care where it goes so long as it is no longer in our way. Decoy is when me force a piece to come closer to where we can shoot it. We care about which square it ends up on. Think duck hunters and their wooden decoys. Source (roughly) GM Yasser Seirawan.
