Sorry about the opening rant. All these Olympic slideshows are getting very annoying, especially the ones that get you to click by promising real footage. It’s the deception I’m opposed to. Yes, I realized the irony: my videos are slideshows of chess positions :-p This is a discussion of the early tactics in the Philidor Defense with 3…Nd7.

In the Pirc Defense, black tries to defend the center with this minor pieces. This chess strategy is considered a hypermodern opening. After fianchettoeing his bishop to g7, black looks to control the dark squares in the middle while still allowing his light square bishop a great diagonal to develop. If black is not careful white can put lots of pressure on the kingside of black, limiting the development of black’s pieces. Black must counterattack to put up a fight.

www.OnlineChessLessons.NET – Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: www.twitter.com This game between Alexei Shirov and Loek Van Wely from Tilburg (1997) reflects a sideline that has been rarely employed by white against the Najdorf version of the Sicilian Defense. This sideline is characterized by an early be2, g4, and f4. It is extremely aggressive and appears that it has not been thoroughly analyzed or test to date. This game clearly illustrates Shirov’s aggressive and resourceful style.

The Danish Gambit opening allows for rapid attack development for white. This video explores the book line moves, along with possible counter-play by black.
This DVD is for players who are absolutely serious about playing the Najdorf Sicilian; casual players need not apply. The DVD box for How to Play the Najdorf Vol.1 says that it contains two and a half hours of “first class private tuition”; the disk does indeed contain high-level instruction suitable for stronger club players and titled players alike. The instruction is subdivided into eight sections: an introduction, early deviations, two sections on White’s 6.Bg5, one on the Gothenburg Variation, and four sections on the Poisoned Pawn Variation. While Kasparov’s tutorials do concentrate on the ideas within each variation, there is also some memorization required and it would be helpful for the viewer to have some prior Najdorf experience. For advanced players, Kasparov’s How to Play the Najdorf Vol.1 will be a goldmine of ideas and an excellent glimpse into the analytical mind of a chess champion.
