World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov in How to Play the Sicilian Najdorf Chess Opening & Training

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.

Chess Challenge #1 – Play the Grandmaster!

The general idea is for you to guess the moves in a grandmaster chess game. I am going to ask you to pause the video after every move black plays for you to take some time and think about what move the grandmaster played.

For every move you get right, you get a point. There will be bonus points throughout the video, and if you find a potential move that either maintains the advantage or improves the position, post a comment and that will count as a point as well. You can only get one point per move unless otherwise stated in the video.

I recommend you use a real chess set throughout the video, or chess software (without the chess engine running).

I recommend the Aquarium Chess Interface with Rybka 3
