Game of the Week #429
Merijn van Delft: "This week we have something unusual: we are going to analyse a game from the Champions Showdown 9LX 2020. So for the first time in this show we will study a game with a different starting position. No worries, it's just a one time exception, but the pairing Firouzja-Kasparov was something I simply couldn't resist."
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.
