My opponent opened the game with a line similar to the Rossolimo Variation involving an early Bb5 against my Sicilian Defense, however I think he played a suboptimal move early in the game by recapturing with Nxd4 instead of Qxd4. I believe it is considered better to take with the queen because it discourages black from playing a6 due to ideas like Bxd7+ Bxd7 Qb6 - where white clamps black's queenside. After 6. Bxa4? (white had to take 6. Bxd7+ to avoid losing time) I was able to gain a very tangible advantage of nearly 2 moves over the main lines of the Sicilian Najdorf, Fischer-Sozin Attack.
