    Putting this together with the Benoni trilogy makes a great lesson series. Thanks so much. I've really enjoyed Jonathan's lectures. Very well prepared and presented.

    I love when someone is able to explain a main line variation of an opening and its ideas. I've been playing this variation for quite a while now and I really learned a lot from this video. Specifically that white shouldn't get crazy and try to play f4, e5 and f5. I really feel that as a non-member of the chess club I shouldn't have any say on what topic will be covered on the lecture but since Jonathan encouraged us to submit some openings I would really like to see the samisch variation of the kings indian as black or a recommendation on how to play against the caro kann as white. Thank you very much for all the videos I really enjoy them!

    21:50 After Na4 there's one Rook move not mentioned (a3) Nc2 forks the Rooks so it's still up an exchange for Black but yet another option white has in this position.

    • @DavidCook-pm4yf
      @DavidCook-pm4yf 18 дней назад

      Jonathan reached this position moving carelessly to prove a previous concept and at a quick glance noticed two attackers and one defender. The person who mentioned Qa4+ also said "but it's not hanging" (smiley face) because it isn't. There is no Bishop d7 if Black takes e4 white takes, black takes... Then Qa4+ wins the piece so black cannot afford to take the pawn in this position.

    Great lecture, thanks, keep 'em coming! Even more rewarding to watch at 0.9x speed :-) so no problem cramming a lot of information in the hour. Please keep asking quick "what's the best next move" questions even if your audience is baffled, it's a nice cue to pause the video and have a quick think.

    about 6:00: ...Bf5? provocates e4, which makes the weakness on d3? But e4 with a tempo makes the white position much better, coz the B. has to go back, which loses a tempo. Of course Nxe4 is not possible. he think he changed the variations! thats not a good quality. (...Nxe4 Qa4 +-)

    I understand this was designed for RUclips (looks and motions to the camera frequently), but the instructor needs to talk to the audience that's actually there and not the camera, it comes off as in insult to the audience in most cases. Refer to Ben Finegold's style, he appeals to both the camera and the audience.

    • @MichelNabil

      he also keeps on calling his audience "The Intelligent people" when he asks them to predict the next best move... which holds a funny humor in itself yea, but also its a bit insulting to them if they didn't predict the right answer..

    • @bigbrother5024
      @bigbrother5024 9 лет назад +1

      +Michel Nabil Obviously he knows a lot of folks in the audience personally, so I don't think it can be insulting.

    • @bigbrother5024
      @bigbrother5024 9 лет назад

      +William Stoner True, speaking to both the audience and the camera would look more "pro". Actually the general rule is to never look into the camera, if you break the 4th wall viewers get confused and drop whatever they're doing in front of the screen :-p

      2500 in USCF is about 2300-2350-2400 FIDE somewhere in that area of rating. Generally when people talk about ratings over 2200 they mean FIDE ratings here in the US.
