Featuring Vugar Gashimov and the Najdorf. One of my favorite players of all time, Gashimov is known for his aggressive openings and entertaining play. He seems to always go for the win with either color but as with all aggressive and risky propositions, he's also keen to some quick defeats as well. That is why he is #10 in the World Fide chart. Similar players with his kind of style are Alexander Morozevich, Alexei Shirov and Vassily Ivanchuk. Gashimov is probably not as well known as some of the other players due to Teimour Radjabov dominating the scene in Azerbaijan for what seems like the past 10 years but he's steadily gaining rating points and if he can continue producing masterpieces like the following game, he's sure to get a chance to play for the world championship.

Jan 28, 2012 - The problem is I'm not strong enough to analyze these type of high level games without the help of houdini. I can easily miss something like Nxd5 instead of exd5 at 4:36. For more complicated positions, I'll miss a lot of stuff and I won't be able to go into detail why certain moves can't be played. Houdini can let me cover lots of ground that I wouldn't even have noticed if I did it solo
