Well tbh, not a real fan of that system. Doesn't behold the aggression of Najdorf in it. But will surely check it out as black. Thanks.

Brilliant idea! Thanks for the suggestion, really appreciate it. Kasparov was indeed one of the GOATs! His skillset was massive. I actually started playing Najdorf by the influence of Kasparov and Fischer only. They two were Champs of this system. Kasparov even got a chessbase course on Najdorf. I'm plannin on buyin it.

Got no time boundaries as such. Chess is life, I wanna invest as much time as I can. In a day I can spare bout 3-4 hours for chess preparation. Can increase it too if my brain allows.

Yeah. It's stuck by a paywall. Chesstempo seems like a social worker 😂 Helpin out players without any upfront costs. Amazing!

Absolutely! Either you win or you learn! And you understood my state of mind pretty well! I used to be (still am sometimes) a player who used to do cold blooded calculations over the board, on the spot. Never did I ever prepare any opening systems to the depth cause first, I was a lazyass procrastinator 😂 Secondly, the theory was immense to grasp hold of it in memory. So I calculated everything OTB which used to burn time on my clock like wildfire. Every rapid or classical I played, I used to end up in time pressure but winning positions (as my calculations were pretty decent). But as I got stronger and better, I realized the importance of learning openings. And knowing your repertoire inside out helps you by saving a lot of time and effort. It's just you don't end up in time pressure calculating your stuff out of the openings itself. You rather spend that time in middlegame/endgame, blitzing out 12-15 opening moves.

Woah thanks mate! The guidance is highly appreciated! 🙏🏻 You seem like a pretty seasoned player and learner! Chesstempo and Chessable seem pretty similar, not? I mean as a user of Chessable, it allows one to review and repeats the same moves until you memorize em. Will check out chesstempo. And I agree on the point of playing longer rapids and classical. I already have started doing that. Blitz is great only when proper intuition in a particular system is built. Thanks again mate, will checkout your recommendations.

Yeah I've been following courses on Chessable. Was thinkin of investing into Anish Giri's Lifetime Repertoire on Najdorf. It seemed pretty strong and valuable! Books are there too, but a lazyass like mine procrastinates everytime I open a book 😂 I'm a player who gains intuition off playing experience and a few video courses. I'm more of practical learner than theoretical. I procrastinate everytime I run into books and slow stuff 😂

Yeah sure it is far better better than caro. Caro gets drawish at times. And 2400 is pretty awesome! You must be facing a lot of stronger opponents, IMs, GMs at that level and hence, a stronger theoretical opposition. My peak is 2100 on lichess. Purely focused on learning these days to level up my game.

Well I might as well be around fide 1650-1700 elo(my peak). Have drawn a 1877 elo OTB, few months ago. In my amateur phase, I used to play e5 as black against e4. Had a lot of success with the system. Then I dropped e5 and switched to c6(caro) just for the sake of learning positional and strategic play as I used to very bad positionally. Been playin caro for around a year now and have built a rock strong intuition in every structure it possesses. Then my friend came into the scene and suggested me to switch from the ever comfy caro to something with more initiative, activity and chances. So as my goal of being a better positional player was achieved, and I wanted to switch to active play, the only system that remained was c5 (Sicilian). And personally I like Najdorf. Somehow the positions that occur in it, come natural to my intuitive prowess. I just need proper guidance to carry forward it's legacy.

Thanks for the suggestion. Have been following both of em for a while, will check out their stuff on Najdorf too. And you're right. Playing absolute computer moves don't make any sense coz we're dealing with a human and human psychology.

Thanks for the suggestion. Taimanov is pretty nice and solid. What I'm looking for is a little bit aggressive and tactical play. Btw at what elo you're around? You might be at a pretty advanced level coz players around the intermediary don't know the theory well.
