It's great how you not only present the correct ideas but also traps. Most people when they teach an opening just cover the good moves but you also emphasize on what to to fall into
You're an extremely good chess educator. You explain the plans and the ideas of the opening in a very engaging and insightful way. It makes the variations so much more understandable and memorable
Awesome idea for a series! I love when the Yugoslav is on the board from either side. With that said, I don’t know much after move 10. Excited to see the rest of the videos!
Amasing content quality once again . I love the Dragon. Some people have discouraged me from playing it in the past, but maybe thanks to you it will be part of my repertoire for good. Looking forward to the rest of the course. Keep up the great work!
Incredible to hear! Obviously, everyone has their own opinion, but I think there are some fresh ideas that I will show instead of common theory, that make the dragon much more powerful!
The Dragon isn't that popular in the GM fraternity - and is super-tactical. I love using it however, especially the 'Dragon-Dorf', which can be an effective weapon against the Yugoslav Attack with 0-0-0
I am just not sure exactly what to pick. D4 vs E4. I play d4 more, and feel I could give more specific and useful suggestions there. But for attacking, e4 is usually better.
settled on the jovada london for white and have just been trying to achieve quick development and play good chess for black but I'm leaning towards the dragon sicilian for the black rn. Only been playing a couple months and went from 450 to 700 since i started.Love your videos dude, thank you
I've just come across your channel and repertoires, and it makes one feel truly impressed, excited, and grateful! Congratulations and keep it up! Two questions about this masterclass: were you inspired by any players or sources when you made it? Also, do you usually like to recommend solid/positional lines or aggressive/tactical ones in this repertoire?
Thanks! 1) Not necessarily, 2) For this rep., in the spirit of the dragon, it is very aggressive. But, I also have the nimzo masterclass, for example, which is a calmer way to deal with 1.d4
Possibly in the future, but this masterclasses focuses on the open sicilian only - maybe I will make one about dealing with anti-sicilians in the future! :) Glad you enjoy the content
do u want to introduce any other books in the future? bcs of u I got so much motivation and hit 1900 today. The last days I spent hours on watching your beautiful book vids

Yeah,I try to be as complete as I can!
@@ChessGeek1your better than Gotham chess tbh

Thank you so much -- that means a lot!! ❤
Common tactical ideas for both sides in the Dragon.
For Black: just go for Checkmate!
For White: just go for Checkmate!
Such a cool thumbnail and this is very ambitious. Definitely taking notes
Great to hear!
This is so high quality, very helpful, now I can start working on my opening repertoire for black
Thank you, and this is a perfect time to learn a new opening!

Then this series should help you out :)

Nice content! So well explained for mid level players, such as me.
Thank you, that is great to hear
thank you for your work! It definitely deserves much more views!
I appreciate it, thank you
Sir this is great can you give a master class of a attacking opening (white ) please
I am just not sure exactly what to pick. D4 vs E4. I play d4 more, and feel I could give more specific and useful suggestions there. But for attacking, e4 is usually better.
Wow ♥️♥️♥️, keep going bro !!
Gonna follow up
Great to hear!
It would be interesting if you make a review of how to face against Maroczy Bind system
Dam it’s so complicated but helps a lot getting dubs
glad to hear it!

@@brettbarreras48 that’s great progress! Jobava is a tricky and exciting choice, and the dragon is as well. Best of luck with them
bro you don't need to learn the dragon if you are 700 come back after you are atleast 18-1900
@@ameykadam5195 thats true, but some people really enjoy learning openings - and if that is the case then they totally should!

Hi!
9.g4(!?) is also an important line to consider (besides 9.Bc4 and 9.0-0-0), I believe.
Bro this is amazing!
Yay! Glad it helped
Thankyou for your work
Thank you for watching!
Just stumbled over your channel. Really nice content! What about the Anti Sicilians? Is there something planned?
Possibly in the future, but this masterclasses focuses on the open sicilian only - maybe I will make one about dealing with anti-sicilians in the future! :) Glad you enjoy the content
Thanks. Great job!
Of course
