Currently looking to integrate this variation into my repertoire for white as the mainlines are too simple for booked up black players. Thanks for showing this line as it's indeed a challenge to get an advantage against. I think Bf4 makes the game too flat too easily, as it's simple for black to trade it off. It's basically giving a tempo just to make it easy for black to get rid of another piece. White should focus on the upside of preventing c5 and get the minority rolling instead of looking for kingside play.
It's only kind of a refutation but just play 2. ... c5 or even 1. ... c5, white will either force a London and get an inferior position (in many positions you can play qb6 for example) or get a Benoni position which is still pretty great for black
can you do a video on that super trappy opening where you sac the pawn in the petrov and trade a knight as black and bring the dark square bishop out that i cant for the life of me remember the name of

RUclips will never know about the cuts 🤭
Hey, I think I found a nice line against this:
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. Na4 Nf6 6. Nf3 Bg7 7. Bf4 O-O 8. e3 Nbd7 9. Rc1 c6 10. Nc3 c5. Equal, but where black has the typical Gruenfeld action - so basically improved for black vs. mainlines without a lot of novel features. 10. Nc3 and 10. a3 are what have been played in master games.
With some other tries included:
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 d5 4. cxd5 Nxd5 5. Na4 Nf6 6. Nf3 (6. f3 Nc6 7. e3 e5 8. Bb5 exd4) 6... Bg7 7. Bf4 (7. g3 Nc6 8. Bg2 e5) 7... O-O 8. e3 Nbd7 9. Rc1 c6 10. Nc3 (10. b4 Nd5 11. Bg3 Nxb4) (10. a3 b5 (10... Nh5 11. Bg5 h6 12. Bh4 g5 13. Bg3 Nxg3 14. hxg3 e5) 11. Nc3 a6 12. b4 a5) 10... c5

8:51 LOL
I saw this Na4 move played by Hikaru against Nepo last year
Ur videos are always unique
Thanks for sharing all this huge quantity of informations
Please post something over the scotch?
Sir please make video on how to crush london system using kings indian defense or Grunfeld.
I just want to crush it
Agreed. I play the London and want it refuted.

Of course if you dont like closed positions this doesn't work but you play the KID
Evans Gambit Please
Nice openings they are very rare
Do you think you could cover the Evans Gambit for white? It looks really interesting judging from the Leela and Alpha Zero Games. Love your videos
More interesting is the Romanishin line. Qb3 ,bxc3, Ba6 undermining c5.
And then he sacrifices THE KNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 73. I've used a wireless mouse since forever!
I saw this in my feed, it had 666 views. Was wondering if the vampire chicken had rigged it :)
Great lessons!! Sir, could you make a video on 'Best Reply to Scholars Mate'? Thanks in advance😀😀
Literally just develop while harassing the queen. Obviously declining the mate. But the main point is to punish the early queen development.
if you're still looking for something he made a video on a really stupid way to refute it
Yes, but we few, we happy few Twitch subscribers. We know. *We always know.*
can you do a video on that super trappy opening where you sac the pawn in the petrov and trade a knight as black and bring the dark square bishop out that i cant for the life of me remember the name of
The Stafford.
Sounds like a bad connection issue. Hope is sorted now ☺️
Dubvious for life lol
