Najdorf Sicilian as black?
Sort:
I don't really pay for courses but I bought one and it was a Scandinavian course by Magnus, it was really really worth it, and it was only £5

yes, it is the advertisement of the course
There is a tutorial on the Najdorf by Kasparov himself.
If you're gonna study the Najdorf on Chessable I'd stay away from Giri's repertoire for now, until you're about the level of 2200 online or 1800-1900 FIDE at least. It's too much work for it to really pay off. Instead I'd go for Colovic Najdorf Simplified and wait until that goes for sale. Knowing Chessable, that won't take extremely long 
It's much more concise and focused mainly on understanding.
Here is the weekly chess video with 5 puzzles to solve and a game analysis: https://youtu.be/alFzrvkBhAE
Enjoy and have a good weekend!
@chessknight222, i know the predicament you are in. I am the father of very chess appetite healthy kid and he is around 1700 plus on chess.com.He played caro most of the time but above a certain rating, this can be negated if the other person knows the theory etc.
Due to above reason, he decided to ditch caro or atleast get something which is new and has more success against higher rated players. Here comes the Sicilian Narjdorf variation.
We got the whole course(not the video one as we thought it is not worth the price)-
Here is my take on it-
1. There are close to 1000 variations in this course which will take 24 hrs to go thru at atleast once.
2. There are anti sicilian ways to counter this which is helpful when you play aganist sicilian
3. Again if you are low on the rating points and wants to get a reporterie started it may be a overkill to go with this. But if you already know the basics and want to beat a higher rated player (say like 1500 plus OTB rating)with this then it is worth it

thank you! so i decided on sam shanklands classical sicilian course on chessable and it is great. i have really enjoyed it. i really appreciate the feedback!
Hello! i am looking into investing in Anish Giri's Chessable course on the Najdorf Sicilian. does anyone have this course and any feed back on how good it is and if it is worth the buy? I am currently a Caro player but i am kinda getting bored with it and i kinda want a change of pace, maybe a new opening is a good way to do that. any thoughts on that as well?
