Garry Kasparov - How to play the Najdorf Vol.1

[rachidvH]

He's pauzing the whole time because he's carefully thinking 10 words ahead of us mortals

@xismxist nope! after 13......Kg7 14. 0-0 Ne5 15. Bg3 Ng6 16. gxh6+ Rxh6 17. Rf7+!.... leads to a continuing attack for white - though not an easy one. This is how the Keres and Spassky games went. 13...... Rh7 maybe a better chance.

Amazing stuff! I probably would have overlooked it if not for Kasparov pointing out that there was a flaw in this conception, but I did see Kxe6 fxe6 Qh4+, Bb5!!! deserves the exclamations there

at 8:00 ... king g7 instead of knight e5 is way better, black is no longer in dangerous

@xismxist nope same idea if kg7 0-0 *castles and if Rf8 to defend f7 black gets crushed with Qxh6+ and g6 mating. If ne5 instead exact same variation that kasparov mentions Bg3 and say rf8 bxe5+ dxe5 Qxh6+ etc

[xismxist]

@PabloDPena nope! key position for blacks defense is knight g6! after kg7 0-0, then black move his knight to e5 and in his next move - to g6(no matter what white play) and black is no longer in danger, white cant get to him
