Going for the win with Black, MVL naturally chose the Najdorf. Unfortunately he was not prepared for the opening novelty on move 12.
This game is from round 9 of the 2018 Batumi Chess Olympiad. It features Dieter Nisipeanu with White against Maxime Vachier Lagrave with Black.
Today’s game features a Sicilian Najdorf.
