Roman's Lab 81: Play White against the Najdorf Sicilian - Chess Opening Video Download

On this Download Roman and Rybka bring new opening theory to White's sixth move (6.h3) against one of Black's most popular defenses, the Najdorf Sicilian. The Najdorf arises after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6, and leads to a complex and intricate struggle. Even so, World Champion Bobby Fischer used the 6.h3 variation to defeat Miguel Najdorf himself.

For over 20 years Roman has played nothing but 6.h3 against the Najdorf and brings to you his own ideas and updated theory to give you a promising game against Black's main moves, 6...d5, 6...g6 and 6...e5 as well as side variations. The 6.h3 variation is now starting to become very popular at the highest level. So learn from someone who has played it the longest and surprise your opponent with Roman's easy-to-follow original ideas and analysis.
