Good game, positional sacrifices was mad and it's worth it.

Nice video, as always. One comment, at 4:07 after a4 of whites, I like to play a5, preventing all counterplay on the Queen side, and obly then start with the rook lift to f6. Just and idea

Greatly enjoyed this video. You explain things very well, and I appreciate that your videos cover some uncommon plays like this one.

Nice game! 1.Qd3+ Bf5 2.Qxf5+ Kh8 (3.Ng6+ Kh7 4.Nf8++ Kh8 5.Qh7+ Nxh7 6.Ng6#

Thanks for watching! 🎥 This video breaks down an intense game I played against Grandmaster Jonathan Speelman. From positional chess to tactical skirmishes and deep calculation, this game had it all! I’ll take you through the key moments and provide insights into our strategies. Let me know your thoughts on the analysis, and feel free to ask any questions! ♟🔥

Impressive examples! I'm pretty sure we can use these nasty tricks in some of our games, too! Thanks!! I play myself the Ponizani opening (at 9:14) many times in my games and this pawn promotion occurs quite often after the blunder 6...d6 (very common in beginers and intermediate players). There's also an iteresting pawn promotion in another line of the Ponziani with: 8...dxe5 (instead of 8...Qb6) 9.Nxb7+ Bd7 10.Qxd7+ Qxd7 11.bxa8=Q+ Nc8 12.Qxc8+Ke7 (the black queen is pinned by the bishop on b5) 13.Qxd7 gaining the black queen and the game.

I usually prefer to play 4.Ne2 instead of Nf3, so as not to block the posibility of playing f4-f5 in the future. Also, from e2, the knight can jump later to g3, opening the diagonal d1-h5 for the queen. If we play the right moves, we have both bishops pointing to the black short castle, the queen can go to h5 or g4 so we have a strong attack on the king side. However, I see in lichess that 4.Ne2 is very rarely played but I don't see anything bad with this move. What do you think about the idea of 4.Ne2? Also, instead of 6.O-O, what do you think about the move 6.a3? With this we avoid the line 6...cxd4 7.cxd4 Nb4 attacking our bishop on d3 (Perdona si mis comentarios se hacen muy pesados, pero rara vez encuentro alguien con quien poder discutir esta linea con 3.Ad3 contra la francesa)

Very interesting variation, Schlechter! Nice weapon against French defense, and nice video too, congrats!! I've subscribed to your channel, thanks

What about when they play Tartakower?

Simple but deep, nice defence Jose 👍

If only I could see these tactics in my games! I see them in the video. I’m like a class A player who’s THIS CLOSE 🤏 to being a GM (by 🤏, I mean 🤷‍♂️🪄📈🥠🍀🙏)

I need to find a surprise against my opponent in a tournament today. This is a perfect opening for that - thank you! I'll be looking to add this to my repertoire after the tournament as well!

g4!! 🤣🤣👏👏💪🏾💪🏾 my kinda chess!! Chess needs more of this!! 🙏🙏

nice game

Thanks so much. I'm so new to this and would like to incorporate it into my white repertoire. I look forward to other video's.

This is a great instructive lesson. Thank you

Very instructive. Thank you for outlining the main strategic ideas and quirks of the Kings Indian chess opening with a memorable game example! Be well, GM Jose Gonzalez! From Moss.

Good game, thanks for your videos. I'll try it against d4!

thank you for sharing, i love it❤️ more please

I actually thought this was going to be about when we have the opportunity to build a 3 pawn center or develop further

Good video sir ❤ love this Can you explain us how to utilize an EXTRA PAWN to win the game... since pawn endings are much harder to learn😊

… Rh8 winning in style! Another awesome teaching session by GM Jose. Btw, still waiting for the episode 3 of the Bd3 way of dealing with French defense. Thank you Jose.

In this video I challenge you to take a few key attacking decisions. I analyze a complete game that concludes with an instructive attacking sequence in which you'll have yo discover the key moves to win the game. The game was never actually played, is an analysis of mine that I borrow trom my Chessable course on the Spanish Four Knights. I hope you enjoy it!

sir i have some question.

Thanks indeed for nice lecture.

More kings indian please, thank you for your time

I enjoy your videos, Keep up the good work 👍

What a defence

What is your chess rating and chess id name

You might wonder why weaker players worry about things like this. It's because we don't spend much time playing in tournaments where your opponent is random. Instead we play our friends, the same players week after week, month after month. If you play something and it works then next week or next month they'll have looked it up in a book. If there is a gap in your knowledge like this, then that's what you'll get in every game from then on till you die of old age or till you find something better to play, because almost all your opponents are either the guys you normally play or else guys who sometimes look over to see what's happening on other boards including yours.

Your Chessable course is great. Whatever the opposite of "buyer's remorse" is, that's what I'm feeling.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us

I think the best line for black is d x e4, bishop takes e4, Nf6, bishop d3 and then c5 by black. Could u add this. Thanks

Outstanding video! I love KID, my main opening against d4.

Hello ! Hola ! I'm rated 1800 / 1900 in rapid games on lichess. I find your video absolutely excellent. Thank you for the great review, and ideas ! I play the King's Indian Defense against 1.d4 too. Sometimes I get overwhelmed. As my rating goes up, white makes less and less noticeable mistakes (to my eyes), and I need to have clear ideas about key strategies. About you speaking english, I think it is great. I am french, and I can somewhat understand spanish, but not in the details. It is a great help. Me, I make chess videos in french ( I comment my games ), because I want more content in my mother tongue on youtube. However, you are a GM, so it should be normal to seek a broader public than poor little me. I understand both stances. Quisiera decirle "muchas gracias". Matthieu Oh, I almost forgot : do you also play the pirc ? ( I played it, but got discouraged by early f4, so I switched back to Caro Kann - and then got it by early f4 too ! Jajaja ).

I like this defence for playing sometimes,thanks you José

Awesome video. Keep them coming. Thanks GM.

Que combinaciones tan bellas😊
