Santos' White Repertoire against the Sicilian ? Hi, GM Santos has done a White repertoire based on the Open Sicilian. It consists of two chessable-courses and it looks like the courses are manageable even for busy ( or lazy ) people...

English Attack vs. the Najdorf The last book I saw from the white perspective covering the English Attack is Dismantling the Sicilian by Jesus de la Villa, 2009. Does anyone know of anything newer? I have been playing 6f3 with... Started 01/17/22 at 23:20:07 by FreeRepublic	4	2849	01/20/22 at 11:30:31 By: bragesjo

Najdorf Poisoned Pawn Repertoire Books Are there any good (fairly recent) repertoire books, advocating the "Poisoned Pawn" Variation (7...Qb6) vs. 6.Bg5 in the Najdorf, from Black's point of view? Started 08/05/20 at 14:01:11 by grandpatzer	6	3695	04/28/21 at 17:21:12 By: an ordinary chessplayer
Interesting idea in the Goteborg Variation The Goteborg 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 6. Bg5 e6 7. f4 Be7 8. Qf3 h6 9.

Najdorf Lifetime Repertoire Giri out on Chessable Against 6.Bg5, it's 10.g4 h6. Against 6.Be3, it's the h5 line (as in Vigorito's). Against 2. Nc3, it's 2..d6. The rest of the lines seem to be mainline stuff. I've had good experiences ... Started 12/22/20 at 12:05:14 by legion	14	5706	01/16/21 at 01:12:17 By: Bibs
Playing the Najdorf - Vigorito In the other thread someone complained that there's discussion about 4 books at once, so here's a new one. https://www.qualitychess.co.uk/products/1/351/playing_the_najdorf_by_david_vigor... ...

6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Nbd7 theoretical status & sources Whats the theoretical status of the Gelfand Variation? Any recent books on it? Started 05/19/20 at 07:12:45 by mxstoe	1	1426	05/19/20 at 09:14:01 By: fdunne
Najdorf dvd by Pelletier Has anyone got this yet ? From the informative video sample, it would appear to complement the Vigorito book. Both go for ..., e5 against almost all options other than Bc4 and Bg5. Started 03/07/20 at 10:58:55 by Laramonet	1	1677	05/13/20 at 17:04:07 By: mxstoe
New Najdorf Book 😞 Is it me or do we think we need a new Najdorf/Scheveningen book to be released! Started 04/23/18 at 17:48:51 by najdorfslayer « Pages 1 2 all »	29	21355	11/14/19 at 19:29:59 By: RoleyPoley
Probably dubious novelty in 6. Bg5 Nbd7 7. Bc4 Today chat reminded me of one of my first ICCF games, which I had finished last year (game moves will be in bold, while variations will be in regular font face). The game began with: 1. e4 c5 ...

6 Bd3 against the Najdorf It's not something I've ever considered playing or indeed seen any serious theoretical discussion. There however are a number of games that have been played in it and it can transpose to or perhaps fr... Started 11/11/15 at 00:43:03 by RdC	6	5796	06/09/19 at 09:14:17 By: gsgs
6.Be3 e6 7.a3 I was a bit concerned to post this here, because there are so few computer-engine analyses here. These are maybe in "competition" to human analyses and not gladly seen here ?!?

6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qc7 line What’s the theoretical status of 7...Qc7 in the 6.Bg5 line? I remember liking the coverage of this line in the book “Mastering the Najadorf” but I haven’t seen it played that much now. It seemed like ...

Which book for a new player to the Najdorf ? Modernised Najdorf ? Everyman's book by the Doknjas's ? The Najdorf in Black and White ? Starting Out The Najdorf ?

6.h3 h5 Heya! I recently-ish started playing 1.e4 again, and, following "Modernized: The Open Sicilian", I chose the Adams Attack (6.h3) as my weapon against the Najdorf. I'm having some decent suc... Started 11/27/17 at 03:11:37 by IsaVulpes	7	5775	11/30/17 at 08:11:47 By: TN
Motylev-Giri 6.Bd3 They played a couple of games in the FIDE World Cup blitz/rapid just now with 6.Bd3 Nbd7 7.0-0 g6. Seems like weird play by both sides, any thoughts? I thought 6...e6 was very comfortable for Black. Started 09/08/17 at 18:04:17 by TN	0	2441	09/08/17 at 18:04:17 By: TN
