Switching from Dragon to Najdorf
Sort:
I have come across many videos for purchase (there are some free ones on youtube as well) that deal specifically with the Najdorf...this woman has an astounding 2343 rating and is easy on the eyes.

A long time ago somebody gave me some excellent advice. He said don't stop playing the Najdorf no matter how many times you get killed. Eventually I got good at it and it's now my favorite opening. The games are always interesting. I know how to discourage the sacrifices that I don't want to deal with. And if I survive the middle game, my chances in the endgame are much better than my opponent's.
I suggest study Fischer's games for good advice about the Najdorf.
Is there a particular Fischer book with annotations that would be good for this purpose? Do you have the name and author(s)?
I play the Najdorf (or try to play it) and would like to know.
I won't tell a soul what we gonna do <3

Now you've made me curious Elizabeth_Teri_Baker. What are "we gonna do?" Is this some secret ninja chess stuff? I kind of new to studying chess. Just read my first book. Don't know if I should look into the "Najdork" yet. I hear it is sharp.
I've got the best video though. This looks good people. I'm on the mailing list and it came in today.

I suggest buying Winning With the Najdorf by Daniel King. It's an older book, you'd have to check around the interwebz to find a copy, but it gives a lot of insight into the different ideas in the Najdorf and not just chapters full of lines 30 moves deep.

Mastering the Chess Openings by Watson (vols. 1-4). I think I will get this as I am told by a chess instructor and others that it is amazing. I read a review of each volume on Silman's site, and the review states the Najdorf is covered extensively, if I recall. Don't remember which volume for sure (probably the first since that may be the one dealing with 1. e4), but go to Silman's site and click on the book review section, then click Openings.
Chessbase DVD Mr Kasparov on the Najdorf...three volume set. You might also consider Andrew Martin's ABC of the Sicilian Dragon.
"Winning with the Najdorf Sicilian," by Zavan Andriasyan.

Do you own that set?
I've been a regular dragon player for quite a while but I'm strongly considering switching to Najdorf Sicilian as to avoid the Yugoslav. What specfic things do I really need to look at. Are there any videos or books that could be recommended to me. Thanks!
