This position derives from Sicilian Najdorf where my strong chess club friend, 'GM Kay ' found an interesting move to deal with.. which is
1.e5 ( to my suprise, i didn't see strong counterblow suggested by my 'fritzy8' friend i.e 1..Nxd4 )
but i answered wrongly with 1..Nd5
2.Nxc6! bxc6
3.Bxe7 Kxe7
( what if 3...Nxe7? )
4.Bxd5 cxd5
5.Nxd5 ( another hallmark of 'GM Kay', sac'king piece to gain activities) exd5
And here 'GM Kay ' thrusted with
6.Rxd5 Qa4
7.Re1 and my King stranded in the centre of the chessboard.Sad fate!!
To all readers, I invite u to share ur opinion about the last position after 7.Re1

I wanna add the resulting position on next post.Enjoy.
