The most important, popular and talked-about chess opening
The Najdorf Sicilian is synonymous with the all-time greats of chess - Tal, Fischer and Kasparov
One of the sharpest and most hotly-contested openings, the Najdorf has been the subject of theoretical debate for decades. It offers Black the best of both worlds - excellent winning chances without exceptional risks. The authors provide the most authoritative and up-to-date coverage of the Najdorf available
This book covers all of the most popular variations including 6.Be2, 6.Be3, 6.Bc4, 6.f4 and all other Najdorf lines apart from 6.Bg5 (which is covered in The Complete Najdorf: 6.Bg5).
Dr John Nunn is a leading grandmaster. He is the only writer to have won the British Chess Federation Book of the Year Award on two occasions. Joe Gallagher is one of the most successful grandmasters on the European tournament circuit and is the author of several best-selling Batsford chess books including The Sämisch King's Indian and (with John Nunn) Beating the Sicilian 3.

Vor einigen Jahren erschien von John Nunn "The Najdorf for the Tournament Player". Kurz darauf gab es beim Falken Verlag eine deutsche Übersetzung. Die stürmische Entwicklung in der Sizilianischen Eröffnung, an der ja besonders Kasparow mitwirkt, machte nun eine Überarbeitung notwendig.
Bereits erschienen ist von John Nunn "The Complete Najdorf: 6. Lg5". Der jetzt vorliegende zweite Band wurde von Joe Gallagher bearbeitet, unterstützt natürlich von John Nunn.
Eine bessere und vollständigere Darstellung dieser Eröffnung kann es kaum geben. Allerdings werden die meisten Schachfreunde dieses monumentale Buch wohl in erster Linie als Nachschlagewerk benutzen und weniger als Lehr- oder Lesebuch.
Die Verfasser gehen aus von der Zugfolge 1. e4 c5 2. Sf3 d6 3. d4 cd 4. Sd4: Sf6 5. Sc3 a6. Behandelt werden nun alle üblichen Fortsetzungen von Weiß außer 6. Lg5. Im einzelnen sind dies 6. Lc4, 6. f4, 6. Le3, 6. Le2, 6. g3 und kurz auch 6. a4, 6. h3, 6. Ld3, 6. f3 und Tg1.
Für den potentiellen Käufer des Buches ist noch wichtig zu wissen, daß nach 6. Le2 die Fortsetzung 6. ...e6 nicht besprochen wird, weil sie zum Scheveninger System führt. Die Verfasser konzentrieren sich auf 6. ...e5, bleiben also konsequent bei Najdorf.
