Béla Perényi
Hungarian chess player From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Béla Perényi (October 20, 1953 – November 13, 1988) was a Hungarian chess international master known for his work in opening theory. Two major lines in the Najdorf Sicilian are named after him.[1] He died in a car crash in 1988 while on the way to visit his fiancée, Ildikó Mádl.[2][3]
The "Perenyi attack" (1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Be3 e6 7. g4!?) is a line in the Najdorf Sicilian named after Perenyi, who invented it.[4] It is a very sharp line that involves White sacrificing a knight in the main line.[5] It has since been used multiple times by other strong Hungarian masters, including Judit Polgar[6][7] and Peter Leko.[8]
