The Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence is one of Black's most exciting defences. Largely due to the example of former World Champion Bobby Fischer, the Najdorf has been at the cutting edge of chess opening theory over the last three decades, during which time it has been a favorite of counterattacking players across the globe. Winning with the Najdorf is an ideal battle manual for counterattacking players by one of the world's leading contemporary exponents. It uses complete, illustrative games to highlight the important ideas for both sides and covers all of White's major responses.
