Hi all.
We'll be continuing our exploration of the main lines of the Sicilian Defence with a tournament featuring the exceedingly popular Najdorf variation (as used by Fischer et al).
I'm planning on creating 2 tournaments with 8 places in each (unrated as usual) to begin on Friday 10th April. If there is sufficient interest we can create 3 tournaments.
Do you want the tournaments split according to ratings (e.g. 1000-1600 and 1601+) or would you rather leave them open?
Remember guys - this is a learning environment, so competition is healthy and great, but it comes second to learning the main ideas - get talking to each other in these games!!
The current plan is to roll out one variation every month, going through all the main lines and posting analysis after each tournament concludes. We can have a look at the whole opening after we've played through the main variations and offer general conclusions. Next one up - the extra-sharp Sveshnikov!
