The Najdorf Sicilian | Chess Opening Tutorial

We cover my favorite chess opening, the Najdorf Sicilian. The Najdorf variation arises out of the Sicilian after the moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 and now 5...a6 introduces the Najdorf Sicilian. White has a wide array of options, with the most popular being the four bishop moves 6.Bg5, 6.Be3, 6.Bc4 and 6.Be2. I go into all of these moves and show some typical positions and structures that can arise. The Najdorf is considered as one of the most exciting chess openings, so if you are looking for an ambitious option with Black against 1.e4, it could be the right choice for you :) Let me know if you have any questions!

In this series, Chess Opening Tutorial, I cover a specific chess opening and explain the fundamental ideas and positions that can arise in that opening.
