At the Cairns Cup in St Louis, ten of the World's leading women are currently playing a very interesting tournament. In round 5 Valentina Gunina beat Marie Sebag in a fantastic attacking game, which we'll study tonight.

When choosing an opening repertoire, there are days when you want to play for a win with Black, when you want to bear down on your opponent’s position with a potentially crushing attack. The Najdorf is perfect for just such occasions. Strategy, combinations, attack and defence, sacrifices and marvellous manoeuvres — exciting chess is all about the Najdorf!
