    Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. 64 pages with diagrams and index. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 3/4) bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First edition. The Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence is one of the most popular, reputable, and deeply studied of all chess openings. Modern Chess Openings calls it the "Cadillac" or "Rolls-Royce" of chess openings. The opening is named after the Polish-Argentine grandmaster Miguel Najdorf, although he was not the first strong player to play the variation. Many players have relied on the Najdorf (notably Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov, although Kasparov would often transpose into a Scheveningen). The Najdorf begins: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 a6 Black's 5.a6 aims to deny the b5-square to White's knights and light-square bishop while maintaining flexible development. If Black plays 5.e5?! immediately, then after 6.Bb5+! Bd7 (or 6.Nbd7 7.Nf5) 7.Bxd7+ Nbxd7 (or Qxd7) 8.Nf5, the knight on f5 is difficult to dislodge without concessions. Games in the Najdorf frequently feature opposite-side castling, where White castles long and both sides launch simultaneous attacks on their opponents' kings. Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped, old sticker residue to front cover else very good.
