Here’s a cool video on the Najdorf Sicilian Defense

Jack, who wrote this analysis?
All the best, Joe Lux
jrobi. Check out his site. It is cool.
I can’t tell who this jrobi guy is, but I don’t trust his Najdorf analysis. I’ve tried to keep up with Najdorf theory for thirty-five years. His stuff: seemingly mechanical. Maybe a good introduction, but not flawless.
All the best, Joe Lux
So, what are the problems with it? Or this just another knee-jerk attack on everything I may say? - Because of Susan Polgar.
If there really are problems with the opening analysis, I think it would be helpful and instructive to us all for you to specify what they are.
Please leave out politics and anti-Polgar animous out of this and just stick to opening analysis, please.
That’s not a fair comeback. I don’t read any undue negativism, and certainly any politics, in Joe’s posts.
I (rated lower than many other posters here) would also characterize the jrobi videos as introductory, but not complete. I have looked at several of them and I think on the balance they are good contributions - clearly, this person ‘jrobi’ went to significant lengths to post a lot of useful stuff - particularly for us at ‘C’ and a bit below. But as Joe said, not complete. I don’t have an example on this one because I haven’t watched it yet. But thanks for posting the link; I think Joe would say as much, too.
You overestimate the number of people interested in “chess politics”, I think. (And you misspell animus, but that was only in the ‘extra credit’ category anyway. No harm, no foul.)

Just from remembering what I saw without bothering to go back and quote…
Black makes the moves Be7 and castles. There are games from 2007 ChessBase with 2600+ players that find these mechanical developing moves not immediately neccessary. These similar games find that when white plays Pg5, the black knight is more useful on h5 than e8. There are even examples where with the proper preparation, the knight on f6 does not even have to move.
Games from 2007 are as recent as I have had time to look up, and that was more than six months ago. Maybe there are more recent games that successfully follow the suggested move order on the website.
It is a fair introduction.
All the best, Joe Lux
Would that that last post had been the first. I’m not sure of your point, though. Are you offering g4 as a refutation of the line or just as another important variation?
On the general criticism, the problem with it is that it can be directed against almost any chess video produced by just about anybody. Know that YouTube only allows 10 minutes max and that’s all. For comparison, John Watson wrote a large, 3 volume work, “Mastering the Chess Openings” and with all that room, he left out not only important variations, but entire openings. The Bogo-Indian Defense, for example, is nowhere to be found.
I think that these videos by this creator as well as others are important chess instruction and promotion. I shall be highlighting more of them here in the future, though I will now leave the various authors’ names out to protect them from unwarranted attacks. The readers can still find them by clicking on the links, however.
And of course, please point out errors and ommissions, especially refutations of the authors’ analysis therein.
Neither. Too often when studying openings, lower rated players depend too much on exact move order, without understanding the real purpose of the move.
Sometimes over the course of years, even decades, the move order of an opening has been proven the most precise–that is until a new idea behind a move is created.
In a more practical world like OTB chess, the quality of the move order is not as important as whether one side understands its potential better than the other. Sam Sloan does not lose every game with the Grob’s Attack. (Just to throw a little politics in 
).
All the best, Joe Lux
Ten minutes and some number of seconds. You can get even more, but I forget what the qualifications are. I don’t post there so it makes no difference to me. I will say that there are instructional videos up to an hour in length from MIT and Indian Institute of Technology
Or you go to http://www.chessvideos.tv/chess-video-search.php?q=evans+gambit&s=&p=&dmin=&dmax= and search for your favorite opening. On the Evans Gambit there is a four part video series available than runs almost 3 hours.
