    beautifull, clean explanation.
    Best teacher, great lecture!
    As a d4 player, i'm amused with the technical aproach of the semi-slav.
    Thanks, CCSCSL!

    I've finished this session of part 1 _ the Semi-Slav, and it is really intense for me. Using two boards one for the main line and smaller one for the side analysis and example games. It takes me more time than the actual video length, but I have deeply moved through the theories. One lesson per week, this would be my PLAN !!

  • @groussac
    @groussac 7 лет назад

    Nice video. A bit fast for me, but that's what the replay button is for. This guy is very thorough. A great presentation for an intermediate+, which in this opening, I'm not. So I'm grateful for this series of the Semi-Slav. And those of you who are more familiar with this opening than some of the rest of us, thanks for sharing your comments. Some good insights here.

    Another funny way to play at 34.08 is b4 (suggested by engine, I would have tried Be3 by myself) even if it's lost, it's sharp & crazy!
    I'm also suggesting to have the Dutch Leningrad variation.
    Thanks Sir!

  • @rayettal5364
    @rayettal5364 7 лет назад

    Thank you for covering all this content Mr. Schrantz. I would, however, like to see a part 11 covering miscellaneous yet very annoying moves like an early 6... a6 in the Meran lines. Example: 6. Bd3 a6 7. O-O?! dxc4 8. Bxc4 b5 9. Be2. Here I felt this followed the definition of 'slow' lines you covered in part 1 and it seems as if white is a tempo down in the theory as if I wasted my ninth move not playing e4.

    • @smashu2
      @smashu2 5 лет назад

      Play 7. e4 since you just played Bd3 one strategic goal in d4 opening is achieving e4 with white.

  • @danielmanahan692
    @danielmanahan692 7 лет назад

    in that very last position there was a defense not covered after Bxd4 the white knight can go to e3 and after Bxe3 the rook can go to c4 to swing over and block the checkmate
    though there should be a way to interfere with the rank defense like Be4

    • @Arcticp75
      @Arcticp75 7 лет назад

      Nice idea on that defense, but Black can do even better than taking the knight on e3. Instead black plays Rh6+ Kg1, then black can take the knight on e3 with check, Bxe3+, and after Kf1 Ba6+, it is clean mate:
      (Ke1 Rh1#) or
      (Be2 Rh1#) or
      (Rc4 Bxc4+ (Ke1 or Be2) Rh1#).
      Nice idea, but black's pieces are just too active!

    • @danielmanahan692

      Hard to do that as it's more of an opening system than a concrete opening with concrete variations. Also, the whole point of playing the London System is to hope that your opponent never watched a video about it. :p

      @nicucristian6030 7 лет назад

      interesting game, congradulations! your oponent really played the opening bad, your sac with the knight on d5 was sound and very strong, actually on move 9 the only defence for black was Nh6, but still after that you can retreat the knight and have a great position. At move 11 you could of thaked whith the knight straight away, either way taking that knight a few moves back was suicide for black.

    By the way.....I think I´ll become Worldchampion in chess at the day when I merge my consciousness with the superintelligent brain of Computron from Transformers. I´ll be pleased to be called a Technobot. Lightspeed will be my prefered Technobot-name then. ;) Think of that....To become a Chessbase-product called Deep Computron. That´s a name they should use for sure. What a popularity-boost that could mean. Computron should be a chess-program with both enourmous tactical and positional abilities. The best from tactical players like Morphy, Aljechin, Tal, Fischer, Kasparov, Grischuk, Morozevich and Polgar. And of course the best of positional players like Steinitz, Capablanca, Botvinnik, Petrosian, Karpov, Kramnik and Carlssen. Shortly spoken I think it would be a mix of Stockfish and Komodo. How exciting it would be......
