This was one of my first times watching your lectures Jonathan. I have to say that it was EXTREMELY AWESOME AND INSTRUCTIVE that you gave the general ideas but that you actually went into the sidelines and showed where the pieces generally go and THEN you seemed to go just a little further than that!!! Great video, May I request a Martial Gambit video? ;)
Awesome video. Crystal clear and still entertaining without the distracting jokes and comments that Ben constantly throws in. Thank you for being a professional.
Personally i would prefer something dedicated to the anti-Marshall systems. The ones with 8. h3, 8.a4, 8.d4 and 9. d4 (after 8.c3 d5). The Marshall i dont play it as black and i always try to avoid it by playing 5.d3, but white gets a some kind of passive position and dont understand some of the ideas of white in some of the Anti-Marshall systems..
Great video but, as said on 16:10, it is not true that black can choose between Re8 and Bb7. Re8 loses to Bxf7 where Kxf7 is followed up by Ng5 + Ne6 winning the black queen. For the rest: good content!
Please do the Benoni from white and black also do the QGD petrosian variation from both white and black. Please do all your lectures with white and black pov. NOT JUST WHITE!! And I request the Marshall gambit too.
Terrific! Fun, witty, and well explained. Thank You! I like this line, but needed to understand it more deeply. I do now. Terrific, motivating Teacher.
can you show some tactical openings please? I am around 1700-1800 strength and my opponents have quite nice opening knowledge in regular openings....but I usually trick them with middle game tactics, I don't know what I should choose to win against 1400-1600 opponents... I am looking for some tactical opening choices which lead to a sharp game where lesser rated players can go wrong...
Hey Jonathan, yet again an interesting Grunfeld occured. This time in Shamkir Chess 2016 tournament: Eljanov - Caruana, round 2. Unorthodox and very suprising infiltration idea after pawn sacrifice at the end (for me at least :). Gotta admit I don't know anything about the lines chosen there and there is little content about that. Couldn't find a good Grunfeld guide. PS: don't even bother about pronouncing my last name in front of the camera properly. It can be translated literally into "april"
I would have played a3 instead of c3 to hide my bishop. When I look at c3 all I see is my knight getting blocked in. Can anyone explain why I'm wrong to play a3?
I’m really enjoying this channel. As a complete novice it is a little bit intimidating, but the depth of these videos gives me hope that I may someday I understand how to play at a decent level. The only feedback I’d like to give is that slurping water from a plastic bottle with a hot mike throughout the video is super obnoxious. Great job otherwise.
Does anyone at the club have some historical information on how the Breyer variation got its' name? I can't find any original games where Breyer played the variation and the forums about Breyer on Chessgames.com have a long discussion about how nobody can find a game and that perhaps the only link is from a second hand historian who is quoting another written book or article that doesn't exist anymore.Can anyone point to a game played by Breyer that used this line? If not, I suggest we start calling it the Shannon variation, lol.

Thank you for all the content! Mr Schrantz is getting really good.

Ben is a Grandmaster. His chess knowledge is far better than this guy.
Fantastic games - both from White and Black side - great insights Jonathan!
I would much appreciate a video on the Catalan opening.

The slow maneuvering is so brilliant. Rook all the way to th h file with g5... that's nuts.
Thank you, Jonathan!
it will be nice appreciated if you do a lecture on the exchange variation of ruy lopez and good way for black to counter it.
13:04 Breyer start
I was looking for this, thank you!
Marshall Gambit please
YES!
Please do the Benoni from white and black also do the QGD petrosian variation from both white and black. Please do all your lectures with white and black pov. NOT JUST WHITE!! And I request the Marshall gambit too.
My second account approves this post. ;D
Nah. Ill ask with both accounts and for both things. They are always needing ideas and both have not been covered.
He did the Benoni... 3 parter
2:44, the queens are pinning each other. How cool is that!
wish i could see more opening videos like these, im a fan of modern defences
great video....thanx for uploading....marshall gambit please
Been waiting for this one! Now for the grob...
found this channel a few days ago, and it is awesome. Wish I lived in St. Louis so I could go to this club!
Enjoyed the lecture; Thanks for posting :)
Hi Jonathan, if you're going to do a D4 opening could you do the Torre Attack? Great video as always.
The more I know, more I think , more I think more blunders. Chess is really exhausting game! It's like a war
Marshall gambit please !
11:47 that’s not a blunder. Nxe4 Bd5 Qd7 Bxe4 d4 Bc2 e4 has been played quite a lot.
You are right, interesting line to know actually, can end up having the two bishops as black if you follow it through.
I second Marshall gambit. :)
Excellent video..thanks! Could you please make one on Berlin Defense please.
Terrific! Fun, witty, and well explained. Thank You! I like this line, but needed to understand it more deeply. I do now. Terrific, motivating Teacher.
It seems white has to balance 2 concessions the bishop pair or a nasty pin on the knight on f3
Could you do the Botvinnik Semi Slav? Or maybe just the semi slav as a whole?
I was about to request exactly the same. :)

Jonathan is becoming the best chess instructor at the SCSL
Thank you warkid42. Good request.
Leninrad Dutch please

Hi Johnathan - How about Qh4 in response to g4?? Still defends the knight
I would have played a3 instead of c3 to hide my bishop. When I look at c3 all I see is my knight getting blocked in. Can anyone explain why I'm wrong to play a3?
c3 also prepares d4 so it's a double purpose move.
I would love there to be a max langue video
I would really like the marshel gambit
Good lecture
How about a variation of the Dutch next week, such as the Leningrad or Stonewall?
Jake Corbett It wants to open the white- square bishop
why taking the bishop with the D pawn after exchange ? are they not more valuable then outer pawns ?
to make way for the queen
hardkur it's so that if the white knight captures on e4, the black queen can come to d4- pinning the knight and pawn, winning the pawn back
Finally not some random unsound or easy-to-avoid gambit. What happened?
two bishops vs two knights endgame plz😊☺👍
My head explodes looking at the Breyer. Great video and tutor btw. Not your fault. It's my brain :-)
Very good
Very good video.
Hey Jonathan! could you do chigorin defense to d4 for black?
Fatboy Slim ft. Mike Kummer. live at bonaroo, debuting the new track "My Ho (Fell For The Fried Liver)"
you are great
Please do the Closed Sicilian. The challenge: for the duration of the lecture, you are not allowed to use the left side of your brain.

Evans Gambit please. Both accepted and declined. Fun to play either way and soooo much theory.
Exchange Ruy pretty please !
Good video like it
hi
Rossolimo attack in Sicilian defence.
For 1 d4 London System
Do a King's Indain Fianchetto.
this is the whupass opening. the opening i mostly use and get my ass whooped haha
The RLopez maneuver is infantile to the “Picard Maneuver”!
marshall plox
I fall in sleep when I hear such us boring talk talk..need more inspiring video, more power, more logic, stronger personality. Motivation is the key.
But again it is Anish Giri
Note to self, dont play this, im to low rated to maneuver or not blunder 😂
You will never improve your rating if you try to avoid certain openings.
James ive gotten better and now enjoy this in certain circumstances. Scotch game has always been fun for me though
no wonder us is so low rated in chess RIP
Mr GM Finegold spoiled the wesley game, terrible.
Grob
queen to h7. u need to know ur pieces before u tutor people. :P
first☺
Nice
22:41 Transgendered King? lol
He’s really trying to sound like Ben Finegold
Ra3 and Ra1.... worst defence ever
Very good
