DOWNLOAD - An Attacking Weapon Versus the Najdorf in 60 Minutes

After the Najdorf became popular, White players quickly uncovered two of the sharpest ways to fight back: the English Attack and the aggressive 6.Bg5 line. With 6.Bg5, Black is pushed into playing …e6 instead of …e5, giving White more space to develop - and unleash fireworks! It’s in this opening that the famous Nd5 sacrifices most often appear.

In this brand-new 60 Minutes course, Dutch IM Nico Zwirs shows you how to combine direct attacking play with the powerful light-square strategy. The idea: trade your dark-squared bishop for a knight, push f4–f5, force …e5, and then dominate the juicy d5-square.

This concept makes the lines more clear and easy to remember, giving you the confidence to return 6.Bg5 to your repertoire. With IM Zwirs as your guide, you’ll not only learn theory—you’ll understand the plans behind the moves.

Are you ready to take on the Najdorf with 6.Bg5? Dare to sacrifice, and make the fireworks your own!
