Speaking from my own experience of about 35 years of USCF-rated

I never did understand why Kasparov's opening DVD on the Najdorf
concentrated on the poisoned pawn lines, almost to the exclusion of
all else. I wonder how cynical it is to suspect that he had a big
pile of analysis and no other way to use it after he retired.
