@4:50 you say "this is already a Stockfish eval of 3.9". No, stockfish eval is only +1.6 (according to a depth of 21 on my phone). Whilst +1.6 is a nice advantage to have, it's very different to +3.9 which would be completely and obviously winning.

Derek Grimmell's videos on Q v R are the most complete and thorough, anywhere. He's gotta make a chessable course on it, as some of us have suggested he do.

Great recommendations Master Matt! I particularly like the Move by Move books because as you mentioned the authors discuss the entire game including middlegame plans that are needed to take the reader beyond the opening.

Fantastic explanation!!!

amazing

Magnus Carlsen called Bobby Fischer the greatest of all time in an interview 11 years ago. Nothing has changed. Great post!

Issue with membership option is if U already own courses U want doesn't add much value - if you did like qa sessions or something monthly might be worth it- the bundle credit sounds good if U already own courses-

Was Bd8 not a big mistake?

U guys make an excellent duo!

Thank you for showing the critical lines.

Superb explanations!

Fantastic idea. I’m going to try this with 1 board for daily and another for 60/90 min+

Love this Song ❤🎉

39!!!! If I got pregnant???

Excellent video mentioning rarely discussed but important move nuances back up by winning percentage data. Thank you!

Hi, what is your recommandation against Qc2-b6 whith the Intention to develop Knight to a6 instead of d7 in case of Nbd2?

At 5:08, after ...Re7, we have in essence the structure of a third-rank defence but we are currently1 file nearer to the centre than with the standard third-rank setup. If this were a third-renk defence proper (with the BK already on the h-file at h5 and the BR on the f-file at f7), the right move for the WQ (who would be on g3, not f3) would be to move from g3 to d3, which creates various lines but all winning for White; see Derek Grimmell's analysis of the third-rank defence for how to win. So in the current position, the equivalent would be for White to play Q to c3. It may be that this is another way for White to set Black problems after ...Re7 as played in the video here.

U guys make a super team with excellent chess instruction!

Is it possible that Ding is baiting Gukesh?

Magnus afterburners will kick in soon!

It was a bad time for international chess when Kasparov went his own way.

The lazy person's answer to exercise.

Hey fellows!

great video!!!

Banger Video

love this line for black , but this works only if white plays nf3 too early so if white instead plays bd3 you cant go for that line and alao its worth to mention that you have to play nc6 otherwise if you play bf5 , qxf5 if you take b2 its qc8 mate , so it is better to tell people that see this why black play nc6

i'm not a gm so give these words as an average player who just plays for fun and not play competitive chess

and also on other things to mention is bishop can take bishop after queen moves because black lose tempo , but idk the line maybe black could get e5 on that line , i never study that

so this alone is not that good for black if white know nc3 line and also the hooe idea is gone by just c3 instead of e3

nc3 instead of that passive nd2 if queen takes nb5 , if he defend with na6 then rb1 then if qxa2 ra1 so quuen need to move to b2 sooo then rxa6 , xa6 now we can play nxc7 and grab the rook

Yes Ding is playing quite badly, but in my opinion, it's obviously a big problem with stamina, and also self-belief. His rapid and blitz in the teams event in Astana was quite good (8.5/12?) so when just playing on instinct he seems his usual self, but he can't seem to cope with the grind of a many-hour classical game. In the Sinquefield Cup he got many good positions out of the opening but bailed out to a draw. I don't think he believes he can be better. He evaluated a +1 position for him vs Nodirbek as 'maybe worse'. Vs Fabi as well he was borderline winning and liquidated to an instant draw. Vs Gukesh he repeated when he had a chance to play for a win. This lack of confidence is self-validating. If he got some wins under his belt he'd gain confidence, but his mindset is hindering that. His losses have come from blundering a few hours into the game. He mentioned somewhere about having problems of fatigue for the last 18 months or so. All this being said, I can see positives in Ding's play recently. But it hasn't translated to results. He will need to fix this problem of fatigue and self belief. I hope he has some kind of doctors/psychologists to help with this, as well as his 'chess' team. People are calling the match as if it's decided already. I hope he proves them wrong in November.

What's the idea of attacking on the queen side while you get checkmated? I'd like to learn why is this a concept please thank you.

No es alto rendimiento poco tablero y poco conocimiento (hasta sin memoria). No te enfades, el muchos años, desde los 5 años (37 años yo), hasta dicen alto rendimiento. NO TE LO TOMES MAL, PERO ES EVIDENTE, MUCHO MENOS TABLERO, DE TODA LA VIDA, Y POR ENDE, MUCHO MENOS CONOCIMIENTO.

get to the point!

Hey guys, really like your channel. Can you do some rating climb to showcase or how to improve in middlegame ideas for the openings such as caro kann?

Kiera Shores

Thanks for answering the questions guys!! Much appreciated, and keep up the podcasts they're awesome to listen to during lunch break and after school :D

Tysm Hate the hill attack

AGAIN! ChessGoals comes through with the answer! Thank you!!!

This format was very helpful!

i think exercise 3 is wrong, pawn on f2 should not be there for white

Thank you so much! I've been learning the Caro-Kann over the summer holidays because I'm tired of playing against loads of Sicilian sidelines... I've learnt Bf5 lines but I want to learn c5 as well against the Advance! I wasn't too sure about the plans for black in the a3 b4 lines and similar, so this video was really useful! Thank you again for the great educational content

Very nice explanation of this game.

Like or Dislike: Neutral. Volume, people. Live or not, upgrade the mics or sound editing pronto.

Is night supposed to be the "knight"? Or we can use k since its used on kb?

Your courses are perfect for getting started with an opening without it consuming your life.

Like or Dislike: Like. Before I got into chess, I was a distance runner. The comparisons between the two training regimens are illuminating. One area of chess I understand needs improvement in my training, thanks to this episode, is tactics. You stress studying tactics, as opposed to solving them. What is the best way to properly learn tactics as opposed to trying to solve one puzzle after another without actually improving?
