Anish Giri teaches the Sicilian Najdorf

I love Anish Giri's personality, he is a world class player yet he is very friendly and not arrogant at all. Also love that he is always cracking jokes ahahah

[@doncorleone53]

😅 😅 Dude u r pretending as if u know all other GM personally ,

[@andreweaton6363]

He is also a phenomenal teacher. Not many super GMs go so in depth with opening theory and ideas. It's as if they expect the average player to understand more because the ideas are so natural to them.

[@hylen26]

It's always fun to listen to him.

[@nikolasavic1472]

Agreed))

[@Anubrogue]

Anish just a savage at 14:55: "But of course [the classical sicilian] is a big opening. It's a favorit of Vidit, so it cannot be very good, but it's decent." Sagar never realizes what Anish just said. 😅

[@Jim_Henderson]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe Sagar heard it and just decided he had nothing constructive to add. At another point Giri roasts Vachier-Lagrave as well. But Giri is a gentleman: his sarcasm is directed only toward his fellow super-GMs.

[@bishopgreenhill4359]

Anish has so much time for people to learn,thats why i like him.One of my all time fav players...

[@MatrixPermutation]

the fact that Nils Grandellius played against Giri a novelty that Giri discovered its so hilarious

[@sagara6742]

This is too good to be free..Thanks Anish and Sagar!

[@dhairyashah5236]

Exactly ! This is insane !

[@Skeptic_arun]

[@ananyamalakar438]

Seems like Anish played Tata Steel only to promote his course 😂

[@CertifiedGenius007]

Man, you know you are watching something epic when you are glued to every word spoken and looking at the screen so intently for almost 2 hrs. I don't even remember any recent movie or series that I watched with so much attentiveness. This is a Goldmine and hands down one of the best streams and personally, a moment where I can say "God bless the internet", for once! The extra layer of the psychology at play at the elite level is fascinating. Time to follow the najdorf games at the next classical event xD

[@bartlomiejpazderski1946]

This is awesome masterclass on Najdorf and excellent analisys of games from the strongest tournament in the world. I really like the way Anish explains chess, very communicative, as well as you Shagar! Thank you very much

[@xmsparker]

Love this, najdorf is my opening since I was a kid. International master Garry Simms was my chess coach and he got me into this, the goring gambit and the kings Indian. I’ve had a lot of fun games with these three openings. Anish has amazing teaching too, please more like this

[@dannytran1587]

Oh my god this was amazing. He wasn’t just teaching us mainline theory and all that, he taught us so many different variations.

[@mugbhary]

Mr Anish .. U just uploaded a gold mine for ppl like me .. can’t say I understand the genius in u completely but u actually answer my ever-lingering question of how to think in chess ..u illustrate that brilliantly without actually saying the word HOW... hence super GM. Bye thanx mr sagar

[@Marhakesh]

May I request more analysis with Anish Giri just like this video? This is absolutely amazing!

[@dhushy63]

Yes I agree

[@rajatverma3931]

Fact : great comedian and roaster Anish giri sometimes plays Chess also

[@beschess]

A.G and sagar hi from Israel. thanks a lot it is so inspiring. I love you you are promoting the chess all over the world.

Briliant switch of move order. Giri now knows how he could have gotten a better position against MVL with the "it's the best if not one of the best" gambit, can be used it a variety of positions.

[@starlite555]

There is one I learnt about recently it is called the Dragon Dorf

[@kirbyknifeman2877]

No, dragondorf is a mixture of two openings, the sicilian dragon and the sicilian najdorf. This video is about the Najdorf which has one of the line as dragondorf.

[@neo4884]

[@An1ma]

can we have more giri videos and streams please

[@christopherparsons3224]

I prefer playing a6 on my 2nd move. It seems like if I allow the check from the bishop at b5 and the resulting pin allows a trade and it happens every time. The resulting trade favors white in my opinion. I do better when I keep the material on the board and only seeking to trade the c pawn for the d pawn. I find this slows down white's attack and gives more opportunity for an advantage. I also prefer to remain flexible with with where I place my queen's knight. I find it makes a difference in how you combat white's attempt at controlling the center. I also prefer to not move directly to e5. I find it makes for annoying placement on the d5 for white's knight, which will require a trade and then you are stuck with a backward d pawn. Backward pawns seem hard to defend and passed pawns usually seem very hard to stop as black, especially if you are challenged for space.

It was playing against the french

[@Robertl-xz6yl]

@@vipchesschannel3164 I know. Giri’s one was on the French as black, Hari’s as white.

Because it's the French. It's not considered to be the best though it is playable.

[@Robertl-xz6yl]

@@visakhunnikrishnan7232 yeah but even when the French is played it seems ignored. Was mostly wondering if it reflects less respect for Hari’s opening prep than Giri’s, since Hari is seen more as an intuitive player

17:23 why not black knight takes e4 nxe4 qxf5 black simply wins a pawn

[@lordstinson8095]

No, after Nxe4, white can go Nxg7+, then Bxg7 Nxe4, ending up with equal material for both, but black's king side is open, so difficult to castle.

[@S_Mukherjee.]

But then d5... white knight goes somewhere then with open g file black can play like classical sicillian with safe uncastled king in the centre

[@S_Mukherjee.]

Or even black can castle long having open g file...

[@S_Mukherjee.]

This entire variation is at least better than what Hari played with nd7 block instead of bd7 block

[@lordstinson8095]

It's playable, sure. But I personally would not prefer to play such a position with my king in center and white with semi-open central files. Plus, I don't believe our pawn structure is good.
