Fischer's Killer Calculation in the Najdorf - Mate Before You Get Mated | GM Mihail Marin

In positions with opposite-side castling, only one thing matters: who attacks faster. You may have a forced checkmate in three moves - but if your king falls first, you'll never get to play it. This is the brutal reality of opposite castles chess, and nobody understood it better than Bobby Fischer. In this lesson, GM Mihail Marin analyzes the brilliant game Minic - Fischer, a masterclass in the Sicilian Najdorf. Watch as Fischer unleashes a deeply prepared novelty, calculates with breathtaking accuracy, and conducts a devastating attack - all while his own king is under fire.
