This Week's ChessVideos Show: The Super-Fast Najdorf, Part 4
What started (jokingly, of course) as a proposed 15 minute presentation on all of the Sicilians has now reached its fifth part, four on the Najdorf, with each telescoping in with further detail. This week's show covers three variations: the Poisoned Pawn with 10.e5 (after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qa3), 7...Qc7 and 7...Nbd7. (The latter is covered in less detail than in this past week's ChessBase show [think of that as part 4a of the series], but it's still substantial - you'll have an excellent idea about where to investigate.)
So if you're ready to dig in to some deep Najdorf theory, or just want to see how hard its advocates must work while you enjoy the easy life, have a look here. The show is free (for at least the next month or so) and is available on demand - as are its predecessors in the Sicilian/Najdorf series.
Next week, the Najdorf series wraps up with the 7...Be7 main line(s).
