The move 6.Qd3 has become one of the critical tests for Black in the Sicilian Najdorf. In Wijk aan Zee earlier this year Jorden van Foreest won his crucial last round game against Nils Grandelius thanks to great preparation and a spectacular knight sacrifice in the middlegame (21.Nb5!).
This week the young Dutchman got another chance to employ this line against Jan-Krzysztof Duda. Although he lost that game quickly, his position looked quite promising right out of the opening. The next day Vladimir Fedoseev tested the Polish player again in this fashionable line, and what a game it was!
In this episode of the Fast & Furious you'll learn about White's key ideas and the latest developments within this branch of the Najdorf.
But first a warm-up: Do you see the winning idea for Black?
