Sicilian Najdorf 6.Bg5 Nbd7(TWIC 953)
Here is the latest news on the Sicilian Najdorf 6.Bg5 Nbd7(TWIC (953) played earlier this month.
The 6..Nbd7 idea is one of the ideas recommended by Ftacnik in The Sicilian Defence(Quality Chess 2010).
Position 1
White has an sacrificial attacking idea that should only be good enough for a draw. Do you see it?

Grunfeld Trends 2013 Trends(TWIC 953)
Here is an interesting idea(17.Qb4) in the Russian System played in the Moscow Open by Volkov,S from the recent TWIC 953.
White is pressing the whole board while black is saddled with awkwardly placed minor pieces. What should white do now?
Ch-HUN U20 g 2013 Rd3
Here is a nice ending played by the new champion Juhasz,Barbara.
Position 1
White has a better structure and active pieces while Bg7 is stuck behind a wall of pawns. How should white continue?
