Fritz 17 - The giant PC chess program, now with Fat Fritz
The most popular chess program offers you everything you will need as a dedicated chess enthusiast, with innovative training methods for amateurs and professionals alike.
Top level chess mainly took place online in recent times, but this summer a few open tournaments did take place over the board. While browsing through this week's games, two fascinating wins by GM Maxime Lagarde in the Najdorf drew my attention. We will carefully study his win with 6.Bg5 against Marin Bosiocic, which is a great surprise weapon for White and is important homework for Najdorf fans with Black.
Maxime Lagarde (born 16 March 1994) is a Grandmaster from France. In 2019 he won the French Championship and with a current rating of 2657 he is number five on the French rating list and number 96 on the world's ranking list.
Warming-up question: What would you play here with White?
The aim of this DVD is to demonstrate the typical tactical themes of the Sicilian Najdorf and to improve your understanding of them, as well as to practice them with the interactive examples.
The live show is free to watch for a limited time, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.

There are few opening systems which have been undergoing such a fast and furious renaissance as the 6.Bg5 Variation of the Najdorf System. Inspired by Radjabov’s victories over Anand and Karjakin in 2006, a great number of games have been played since then, meaning that the theory has developed enormously. But even before then it stretched to such distant horizons that makes it all the more important to have someone who can explain the ideas which underlie the variations. That is exactly what Alexei Shirov does on his DVD.
