The Najdorf Sicilian explained by GM Anish Giri

The Najdorf Sicilian opening is one of the most reputable and popular openings, particularly at the top level. It has been used effectively by World Champions such as Garry Kasparov and Bobby Fischer. ♟It arises after the moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6. The idea behing 5…a6 is to control the b5 square and possibly prepare a queenside expansion. It is one of the sharpest and most theory heavy openings in all of chess, but deep study by intermediate to advanced players can prove rewarding.
