Introduction: The Cadillac of
Openings
With this book, I present a collection of games played in
the Najdorf Sicilian. The purpose of this book is not to
be exhaustive - that would require at least ten times the
content, and even then it would not encompass a
fraction of the analysis and relevant games played in the
Najdorf. This book also does not suggest a repertoire
for either White or Black - although players can glean
some ideas, since I have generally picked games played
in the lines that I favor. I think it is dishonest for a writer
to try to portray an opening in only a positive light:
ultimately, even the most objective writers of repertoire
books have to massage the facts and minimize the
problems of an opening - and every opening has them.
The purpose of this book, rather, is to show how to
play the Najdorf, with White or Black, through
archetypal games. I believe that by studying the games
in this book, one can develop a solid general sense of
the different types of games resulting from the Najdorf
as played in the twenty-first century. It is my hope that
readers will also gain some degree of enjoyment or
entertainment from the games, which have been
selected not only on their instructional merits, but also
for their aesthetic
value.
