    The Sicilian Defense variant 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bc4 is named after the Russian master Sozin, who introduced him to the tournament practice in 1929. But the main contribution to the study of this option made the legendary Robert Fisher. He not only included it in his debut repertoire, but also made him the main weapon against the version of Najdorf 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6, most popular in the Sicilian defense. And so option 5 ... a6 6.Bc4 should rightfully bear the name of Fisher. This is the reason for the title of the book “Fisher vs. Najdorf”. Variant survived a real boom after a very serious run-in in the match for the title of world champion in 1993, Kasparov - Short, where Harry Kasparov himself had to come forward as an opponent of the ideas of Fisher. And only sports happiness helped the world champion save a number of difficult positions. After that, “Fisher's Option 6.Bc4” appeared in the repertoire of not only Kasparov, but Topalov, Ivanchuk and other famous chess players. The book is based on the parties of Fisher and Kasparov, which determine the development of the variant, and is supported by the theory presented in an accessible form.

Having done a serious analytical work, the author offers a number of conceptual innovations and expresses the hope that & laquo; Double Queen's Gambit & raquo; will turn your view on the modern theory of debuts!
