Sicilian Najdorf 6.Bg5

There are few opening systems which have been undergoing such a fastand furious renaissance as the 6.Bg5 Variation of the Najdorf System.Inspired by Radjabov’s victories over Anand and Karjakin in 2006, agreat number of games have been played since then, meaning that thetheory has developed enormously. But even before then it stretchedto such distant horizons that makes it all the more important to havesomeone who can explain the ideas which underlie the variations. Thatis exactly what Alexei Shirov does on his DVD. His explanations are allthe more valuable because they are delivered by a player who himselfhas been responsible for developing the theory of the Najdorf. Theauthor also makes use of games played by others in lines where hehimself has not played any.
