Today we have published another video lesson, this time from the Sicilian Defense. In this video lesson, you will learn about the Kamsky Gambit from the Siclian Defense Najdorf variation. It is categorized by the moves 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6; and here White plays the sideline 6.a4, which is then followed by 6…Nc6 7.a5, sacrificing a pawn for the initiative. The former US champion, Gata Kamsky, came up with this new gambit idea in his game against Veselin Topalov in the World Championship Candidates (2011). Watch and enjoy the video lesson:
