Playing the Najdorf by David Vigorito

 

The Sicilian Najdorf is one of Black’s best and most combative responses to 1.e4. The Najdorf was

championed by Fischer and Kasparov during their respective periods of dominance over the world chess

scene, and has been used extensively by many other World Champions and elite GMs, including Anand,

Gelfand, Topalov and Vachier-Lagrave to name but a few.

 

Despite the Najdorf’s obvious pedigree, many players are intimidated by the highly tactical and

theoretical nature of some of its main lines. In Playing the Najdorf, IM David Vigorito shows that this

need not be a problem, as he offers a complete repertoire for Black based on positional principles,

offering sound recommendations which lead to a fighting game without turning the battle into a memory

contest.

 

David Vigorito is an experienced International Master and a respected chess author and coach, who

has had the Najdorf as the backbone of his repertoire for most of his career, making him ideally qualified

as a guide to this opening.
