The Sicilian Najdorf is without doubt one of Black's best defences to 1 e4 - its soundness cannot be questioned. Yet its main attraction is its dynamism, which allows Black to play for a win without undue risk. This is why it was favoured by Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov and why it continues to be immensely popular at all levels of chess. In this book, Richard Palliser provides a dynamic repertoire for Black in the Sicilian Najdorf. The aim is to cause White as many problems as possible whilst sidestepping the enormous bulk of theory traditionally associated with the Najdorf - a perfect solution for the practical player. "Attacking Chess" is a brand new series of opening repertoire books. It focuses on traditional attacking openings, as well as creative and forceful ways to play openings that are not always associated with attacking chess. It provides ambitious repertoires designed for players of all levels. It presents a repertoire for Black in the Sicilian Najdorf. It is written by a renowned Najdorf expert. It is packed with new ideas, analysis and novelties.
