    Paul Becker (~1950) -- Errol Tiwari (~1850), Ontario Open, Kingston 2003, U2000 section, rd. 5. Time controls 30/90, SD/60. TD / Organizer: Frank Dixon
    Paul, of Kitchener, scored a perfect 6-0 to capture the U2000 section, pushing his rating back over 2000.
    The 6.Rg1 line against the Najdorf has never really become popular on its own; it can be similar to the Keres Attack and the English Attack. Here Black obtains a decent position but needed to castle, with ...Bg7 and ...O-O, before the combo hits on b5. White's combo is thematic in the Sicilian, but here is especially strong, and wins the game for him.
