Najdorf against 1.e4 - Vol. 1+2 (set of 2 DVDs)
DVD-box, ChessBase, 1. edition 2023
From the series »Fritz Trainer Opening«
Scarcely any other opening after 1. e4 enjoys such a good reputation and is so feared by White players. We are, of course, talking about the Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence! This two-part Fritztrainer offers you a complete repertoire against all possibilities that White has tried against the Najdorf on move 6 - after the initial moves 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6. The Najdorf Variation combines aggressive attacking chess with deep strategic plans, so there is something for every type of player! Ways to achieve a clear opening advantage have yet to be found for White players, so it’s no surprise that the Najdorf is considered one of the best and most-played openings.
In the first part of the video series, we will look at White’s four main moves: 6. Bg5,6. Be3, 6. Be2 and 6. Bc4. In addition, this Fritztrainer contains over 20 positions to play out to consolidate the most important positions from our repertoire. With the Opening App you’re able to test your recollection of the theory shown on this course.
- Video running time: 5 h 09 minutes (English & German)
- Training with ChessBase apps - Memorize the opening repertoire and play key positions against Fritz on various levels
The second part of the video series deals with all the other moves White has tried on move 6. First and foremost: 6. h3, but also moves like 6. g3, 6. Rg1 and many more. In addition, this Fritztrainer contains over 20 positions to play out and tactical exercises to consolidate the most important positions and motifs from our repertoire. With the Opening App you’re able to test your recollection of the theory shown on this video course.
