Young Najdorf

After World war Two, Miguel Najdorf of Argentina became a world class player, competing successfully in events of the highest standard. But he wasn`t from Argentina and his career began much earlier.

This book tells the story of how he developed into an international player of standing in his native Poland in the late 1920s and 1930s. In doing so it also gives a flavour of the organisation and importance of chess in that country, at a time when it was one of the foremost chess playing countries of the world.

Every known game by Najdorf (192 games altogether) is included, together with contemporary annotations where available. The book also includes tournament cross tables and details of Najdorf`s career record from 1928 to 1939.
