I've been playing the Samisch since you recommended it in a previous video and it always leads to intense attacking games. Someone is going to get checkmated, it's tons of fun. I used to hate facing the King's Indian and now it's one of my favorite openings to play against. Thanks for the recommendations! I almost always start my attack with g4 just to prevent h5, but I like the idea of blockading with the bishop first, going to have to give that one a try.

Excellent video! I saw you play a King's Indian Samisch in another video last night: you mentioned the h-pawn attack, but you didn't play it because your opponent made an unwise pawn push to c5 and then lost a bishop tactically, obviating the need to play the attack. So it was neat to see you spell out the attacking ideas in this video, also to see how you kept the attack going against good defense until it brought about a collapse in Black's position. Thanks, Danya!

@lluism200 3 жыл бұрын

This episode was the best and most instructive so far. Teaching the importance of keeping the tension, mantaining pressure in the key moments and finding the right moves for the attack to keep moving forward slowly but surely. We have seen no major blunders on black's side, and despite being "only" a 28 moves game, the black player showed a really tight defense with, mostly, precise moves (I think the main inaccuracy was Re8, giving a tempi for white, instead of starting a counter attack on the queen side with a quick b5 but I suck at this game too, so I would've probably fallen waaaay faster than Simon did) If time didn't come clutch we could have seen an endgame as well! This episode also shows how important it is to play longer time controls to learn. I am sure the same player would've struggled to find such a strong defense with a faster time control. Edit: and Danya points out how Nbd7 was the inaccuracy and not Re8 :)

Very interesting video. A lot of times videos about opening have development as a main driver of our actions, and of course I appreciate the theoretical point. However, in practice, it is not so easy to capitalize on development after the opening. Would you show your thinking for the first Attacking drill on Chess com, "Development"? If you do not know about it, I find it is a very interesting and didactic drill: basically you start with 10 moves advantage in development and you have to capitalize it against an advanced bot. I found it much more difficult than I would have expected, and I think a GM opinion on it would be very didactic.

Nc6 is supposed to be played before e5 against this opening, according to some kings indian defense specialist. cant remember who. After d5 then, the horse can go into D4. so Nc6 Ne2, and then still dont do it, a6 first, Nc1, only now e5. After d5, Nd4, horse back to e2. Sac a pawn, c5, captures in passing, etc, rook lines up on E8, and the sky looks green. in exchange for one pawn. makes sense if white took so many moves. a pawn should be nothing at that point. thats the only logical line in this "sandwich variation." you need to play like a man in the kings indian. Horse belongs on C6 against the sandwich variation.

Notes for future self: How to crack a pirc defense using samisch, note dark square bishop locks black pawn out of h5, allowing own pawn storm to help open rook. Speed of attack is crucial, though not a race; slow and steady attack here. Don't be married to bishop location if repositioning assists the attack. Black has many creative defensive moves to stall out the attack. Creative knight protection of bishop mid game also 10:45 ??? "My ears"???

@ClydeBarber 3 жыл бұрын

@dsrguru 3 жыл бұрын

The Dutch Stonewall is pretty solid and has some similar feeling kingside mating themes to the King's Indian, but it's a lot easier to learn. The downside is it's specifically a variation of the mainline Dutch. If white doesn't go for the standard kingside fianchetto, you don't want to play the Stonewall variation but rather want to fianchetto your own light squared bishop on the queenside and play it basically as an improved Classical Dutch. And if white does go for the main line but plays Nh3, you're also much better off going for a classical Dutch. And if you're not willing to play the 1.d4 e6 move order (which allows white to transpose to the French with 2.e4), then you have to study the more dangerous sidelines after 1...f5 like the Staunton Gambit and the Hopton Attack. Basically, don't play the Stonewall as a fixed formula against anything white does but, rather, study it in the context of the Dutch Defense and study some games in it to get a feel for the ideas. The Hanging Pawns channel has some helpful videos on the Dutch, and there's s good book called Win With The Stonewall Dutch. There is also a great section on the Stonewall in Chess Structures by Mauricio Flores Rios.
