Purchase options and add-ons

The Najdorf Sicilian (1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6) is the most important, popular, and talked about opening in chess. Its name is synonymous with such luminaries as Tal, Fischer, and Kasparov.

As would be expected by the preceding three names, Black plays soundly for a win, with a full-scale battle developing with no scope for drawish simplifications. The Najdorf includes many famous variations that have practically made players' careers, such as the Poisoned Pawn, the Polugaevsky Variation, and the Gothenburg Variation, introduced disastrously as a team weapon by Argentine players against Soviet Grandmasters in 1955.

Kasparov has relied on the Najdorf in all of his World Championship matches. But not only World Championships hinge on the Najdorf, it has proven itself in millions of games as the ideal work-horse for club and tournament players. In this comprehensive book GM Nunn covers all of its variations in detail.

John Nunn (b. 1955) has had a distinguished chess career. He won the European Junior Championship in 1975, gained the Grandmaster title in 1978 and was British champion in 1980. In 1989 he finished sixth in the inaugural World Cup and at that time was ranked in the world top 10. He has achieved many tournament successes, gaining four individual gold medals in Chess Olympiads and winning the prestigious Wijk aan Zee tournament in 1982, 1990 and 1991. Today he is still active in Senior Chess, playing top board for the England 65+ team in their 2022 World Championship victory, and winning the 2022 British 65+ Championship with a 100% score. In November 2022 he achieved one of his greatest successes in winning the World 65+ Championship.

He has also been successful in chess problem-solving competitions, which gave him his second grandmaster title in 2004. He won the World Championship in problem-solving in 2004, 2007 and 2010, and has the won the British problem-solving championship 10 times.

As well as being a strong player and solver, Nunn is regarded as one of the best contemporary authors of chess books, winning the English Chess Federation (formerly British Chess Federation) Book of the Year award three times.

He currently lives in Cornwall and enjoys the outdoor life there.

Verified Purchase

If you want the Najdorf in your repertoire you need this classic book. While its breadth is limited to one subvariation (6.Bg5), its depth is incredible.

The Gold Standard for the Sicilian Najdorf

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2020

After 20+ years, this book still sets the benchmark for the Sicilian Najdorf. For quality and depth of research, anything written by John Nunn is gold and this may be his finest work. Extremely comprehensive, and unlike the repertoire books that aren't written to be played by both sides of the board, this book is objective as well as encyclopaedic and allows the reader to be able to play the Najdorf from either side.

Great reference for the Najdorf after 6.Bg5

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 1998

John Nunn's newest reference work on the Najdorf covers all positions after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5. This edition expands significantly on his previous Najdorf work published in the mid-80's. In the ever-changing world of the Najdorf, it is essential to have the latest reference for any player rated above 2000. If you want to play the 6.Bg5 lines, then you need this book. John Nunn sets the standard that others are measured by when it comes to opening books. His works are full of original analysis and useful tidbits. Sometimes he does profess to enjoy a certain line over another and is not very clear on why (example: the Nb3 line of the Poison Pawn variation of the Sicilian), but generally he backs everything up with convincing comments.
