I agree, 6... e5 stepping into conventional Najdorf is the strongest option. But
in the past I had some "traumas" with Najdorf, and that's why I always transpose

The move 6... Ng4 is especially good in blitz. Countless white players have
instantaneously replied with 7.f3, just to resign after 7... Ne3 (8.Qd2 Qxd4!)
