Sicilian Najdorf 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6-TWIC 953

TWIC 953
Cheparinov won with a brilliant attack after first subduing white's pawn storm idea with a quick ...h5. Restraining the kingside and delaying  ...0-0 is the defensive method advocated in The Sharpest Sicilian 2012(Chess Stars 2012) so this is a key game for keeping up with current theory.

Berescu,A (2495) - Cheparinov,I (2709) 

Sicilian Najdorf 6.Be3 e5 7.Nb3 Be6(10.f3 h5) [B90] 
35th Georgi Tringov Open Plovdiv BUL (8.3), 09.02.2013

Position 1
The position is sharp. Mutual pawn storms have not materialized in this murky looking position. Black must defend the queen after the 22.Nc4 discovered attack. What do you recommend for black?
