| The Najdorf system in the Sicilian Defence has a legendary reputation as a
defensive weapon for Black. It is an opening where people often strive for a
full point, instead of simply defending the position with the black pieces. Many
great players have contributed to the development of this complex opening. There
were two world champions who formed much of their careers using the Najdorf
system as their weapon of choice against 1.e4: Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov
celebrated spectacular successes with it. Both players used the Najdorf
(pronounced “ny-dorff”, rhyming with “high-dwarf”) during their child prodigy
years and retained it as an important part of their repertoire during their
entire careers.
For Garry Kasparov, this added up to experience with the Najdorf at the very
highest levels of chess. For chess amateurs and professionals alike it is a
great moment when the world‘s leading expert shares all the secrets in his
favorite opening. In part one Garry Kasparov introduces the various sub-systems
of the Najdorf, including the central “Poisoned Pawn” variation. The development
of each line is placed in historical perspective and examined in great depth,
with Kasparov‘s characteristic intensity. With more than two 2.5 hours of first-class
private tuition, this DVD can be played both on a PC and a DVD player, using your
living-room TV set (PAL). It contains subtitles in English, German, Spanish,
Italian and Turkish. The package includes the latest ChessBase 9.0 Reader, a big
reference database featuring more than 16,000 Najdorf games, as well as a
complete opening book that can be used to practice what you have learned with
Fritz.
