najdorf no more interests me, it bores me. i quit it. i am now playing the marshall attack in the ruy lopez. The opening is quite interesting and not dubious though it gambits a pawn.
Anyway openings aren't everything.
Plans and ideas in the Najdorf Sicilian

I would prefer f3 because it provides stability to the centre, but h3 is good to prep g4 as well

Why should you seek advice about an opening that does not interest you and bores you?
And- why on earth should you care what is trendy between GM's and what isn't?
Because I am now playing against the najdorf and liked the move.

i dont understand what you are trying to convey. please do not flood the forum with irrelevant messages.
#121 I get the post. Eighteen months ago you were keen to play the Najdorf as black. Now you are into the Ruy Lopez (Marshall Attack assuming white plays 8. c3) while at the same time seemingly uncertain about the decision path at move six by white to be either tactical or strategic. I cannot work out if you are muddled or changing your mind with the wind.
Hence ?????? ?????? it seems to me.
The Sicilian najdorf is one of the most studied and therefore theory heavy openings in existence. If you don't have time to study theory, play something else. You said you wanted to play it because "Fischer najdorf style". Well I hate to break it to you, but Fischer was so successful with it because he studied theory very much so and helped develop new ideas for the position. If you don't want to learn theory, why on earth are yoiu attempting to play one of the most studied theoretical positions in chess?!? There is a reason everyone is telling you to take the time to learn theory or find another openin To play until you do.
And Ruy Lopez is another very theoretical opening, and another bad choice if you're not going to take the time to learn the theory behind it.
Anyone know where i can get to know about the latest trends in najdorf? Not that i would improve , just to know.

2) Transpose to the Scheveningen (play ...e6 rather than ...e5). The ...e5 lines tend to feature much more concrete play than their ...e6 counterparts, and the Scheveningen is more about general ideas and plans than the pure Najdorf
Agreed.
The Najdorf Scheveningen is pretty solid, and relatively easy to understand and play at an intuitive level (with some practice to get the feel of the defense under your wings).
There's also a good book that explains the general ideas (Play the Najdorf: Scheveningen Style by John Emms).
The Naj. Schev. was also a frequent weapon of Kasparov during his reign.
no thanks i'll stick to najdorf
Good man.
There is a constant verbal struggle on this website between:
1) people who think that the best way to help players improve is to teach them how to win their next game, and
2) people who think that the best way to help players improve is to teach them how to play chess.
You will learn a lot more about chess by sticking to your guns and playing whatever opening interests you, than by abandoning it in search of a "safer" way to score points.
