The Najdorf system in the Sicilian
Defence has a legendary reputation as a defensive weapon for Black.
It is an opening where people often strive for a full point,
instead of simply defending the position with the black pieces.
Many great players have contributed to the development of this
complex opening. There were two world champions who formed much of
their careers using the Najdorf system as their weapon of choice
against 1.e4: Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov. Both players
celebrated spectacular successes with it, both used the Najdorf
(pronounced „nigh-dorff“, rhyming with „high-dwarf“) during their
child prodigy years and retained it as an important part of their
repertoire during their entire careers.
