This is the best lecture by Ben Finegold about the Steiner Variation of the French Defense I’ve seen today
from someone in Ben's chair
Now that it's Sunday, are you prepared to say that it's the best lecture by Ben Finegold about the Steiner Variaion of the Frence Defence that you've seen all week?
@@beeble2003I don’t know, I need just a bit more time to think about such a bold claim
Truly one of the Lectures about the French Steiner Variation of all time.
@@smort123 😅
It's a good response to e6, popularized by Mr. Variation
Rakhmanov played openings no one else could play because he had such large hands.
😁
I wonder if all pianists have their grandmaster counterparts, whose name is the same except for the dropped "-in-" 🤔
I’m not an e4 player, but I do play the English and transpose into the French Steiner after 1.c4 e6 2. e4 whenever I see 1…e6 so this is helpful still.
Ok, I play with c4, but against ......e6 I play a Reti: Nf3, b3,Bb2, etc
This could be called the channel opening, as it's essentially in between the english opening and the french defense
one of the best video about the Steiner Variation of the French Defense i have seen in a while
This is my go-to against the French defense, I love how quickly it gets people out of theory (in my case, on move 2)
Huzzah, I’ve been looking at this for a while (without studying it properly) even as a former French player!
Under an EU directive only chess players who are France citizens are legally allowed to play the French Defence, other nationality players can play a similar opening but it must be called the "Sparkling e6 Defence".
Including senegalese and nigerians?
@@Yengi-cw2ox No, real pure French, please....
@@MartinZanichelli you are french when you turn up at the door
Normunds Miezis is Latvian Chess GM and has never changed federation. He is also multiple times Latvian Champion and Latvian Board 1 in many Chess Olympiads! ☺
This is what I play against E6, I developed it through my own analysis and had been wishing a GM or other skilled chess player would discuss it to increase my understanding. I tried to research who this opening is named after, there's a Steiner from Australia and one from America, playing at the same time.
Soo good on your decades Ben ;)
First variation of shown looks like the Panov attack
Yes. e4 c6 and then c4 is the accelerated panov
Miezis and Samolins are Latvian players, probably match is also from Latvian championships.
28:48 "Actually, he played Bc5, Be7, Bd6, Be7. Those people need to be punished." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey, it's me Eric Torman. Sorry for not resigning.
Wow this is conveniant timing needed a french weapon
Not bad GM Ben, I see y’all learning! 😎
What about the Steiner counterattack? First analyzed but not actually played at Berlin 1945
That video about the candidates was very funny, and accurate to boot, despite this minor mistake in having the staff officer state that the Steiner did not exist.
Ben playing the frame rate gambit
When I get this as black, I try to go for the funny (but masochistic)
e4 e6 c4 d5 exd5 exd5 d4 Nf6 c5 Nc6 Nc3 Bxc5!
Only problem is getting them to play c5, which they almost never do :(
Did we ever hear the funny story alluded to at around 16 minutes in?
Whats up ben weirdo
I can't beat your chess bot
Piece of cake, piece of cake! Enthralling Satire to say the least!
