Ian Nepomniachtchi, one of the most gifted Russian grandmasters of his generation, faces a Magnus Carlsen who boldly takes up the Sicilian Najdorf with the Black pieces — a sharp choice that reflects the Norwegian’s supreme confidence in his preparation. Carlsen has spoken on multiple occasions of his admiration for Fischer, the great apostle of the Najdorf, making this opening choice all the more symbolic.
