No, I have no experience with it... but you are giving me a good idea as I started studying the Najdorf recently as an alternative of religiously playing 2....c6 ( Caro-Khan ) just in case I am not too fortunate in a long tournament with the latter.... May be I should google....

Both seem really solid, so I don't think you can go wrong.

the series is absolutely great if you can stand kasparovs approach. he seems to be in love with his own voice very much, but other than that, a great product.
- it offers a historical approach to learning the najdorf; this helps improving one's repertoire as he's covering a lot of ideas that are dismissed nowadays by elite players, but are sometimes played by lesser players in order to avoid theory
- kasparov is an absolute expert on this obviously. as such, he offers both strategical and tactical insight into this trademark opening of his.
Let's face it, his voice is pretty great. 
Ah, the approach is historical? That's very helpful. Thanks. Covering lines that aren't optimal, but very playable also interests me.

Najdorf and Caro-Kann are both solid for black, but I have found Najdorf to be more dynamic; by that I mean greater chances for winning (or losing) with fewer drawish lines. I think that is one thing that Kasparov likes about it, and also the King's Indian, he prefers that for the same reason.
