An attacking weapon versus the Najdorf - DOWNLOAD
Zwirs Nico
After the Najdorf became popular, White players quickly uncovered two of the sharpest ways to fight back: the English Attack and the aggressive 6.Bg5 line. With 6.Bg5, Black is pushed into playing …e6 instead of …e5, giving White more space to develop - and unleash fireworks! It’s in this opening that the famous Nd5 sacrifices most often appear.
In this brand-new 60 Minutes course, Dutch IM Nico Zwirs shows you how to combine direct attacking play with the powerful light-square strategy. The idea: trade your dark-squared bishop for a knight, push f4–f5, force …e5, and then dominate the juicy d5-square.
