This opening book was first published in 1976. Fairly comprehensive at a hefty 388 pages. At the time it was perhaps the best available go to book for this opening. It was only when Nunn's "Complete Najdorf" in two volumes was published that this book was superseded with updated research on the latest lines. So what is the value today for this book? This book is excellent for learning the MAIN IDEAS behind the strategies for each line - the stuff that has not really changed in 40 years and is still valid today - i.e. where you want to position the pieces and what the goals/objectives are. Secondly, the authors, which include some first rate and legendary Grandmasters such as Spassky, Geller and Gligoric, take the time to walk you through the thought process move by move for each of the illustrative games - those game analyses and annotations from these famous GMs alone would make this book a worthwhile study. And then thirdly, as a bonus you also get a nice introductory section written by the man himself! Miguel Najdorf!!! ( Amazon customer)

The Najdorf Variation of the Sicilian Defence

Imprint unknown

This is one of the most interesting, most unusual and most instructive chess books ever written. Seven of the World's Strongest Chess Grandmasters were each asked to write down their thoughts about how a serious chess amateur might best approach the problem of, very simply, "opening" a chess game? What makes this book especially great and useful is that each of these seven grandmasters had vastly different styles. For example, Bent Larsen used wild, unorthodox attacking lines, whereas Petrosian, who was capable of attacking when he wanted to, preferred to sniff out his opponent's chances and wait for the opponent to attack unsoundly and fall upon his own sword. This book therefore gives the practical amateur player seven different styles to choose from. Thus, he needs only to choose which one is most suitable for himself.
