Miodrag you are the man! I got stomped in this variation after 2...Nf6 instead of the usual Q×d5..I wasted 30 seconds in a 3+0 Blitz game on 3. c4. Thank you for this breakdown Mio, the Butcher 👍

Great analysis Mio! I love your Scandi videos. They are so helpful and practical.

As the old song says: "You're the top." Thank you, maestro Perunovic!

Hey Miodrag, great video as always, your videos have gained me so many points on liches! I would love it if you would share your knowledge on how to play against the scotch opening. Greetings from Germany.

Hi Mio, in the Portuguese variation with 4. Bb5+ you covered the possibility of 6. Nc3 and recommended to play with f5 then O-O (the variation that discussed 6:15-6:45). What do you think of 13... Bb4+, with the potential piece sacrifice on c3 (14. c3 Nxc3)? Is this dangerous for White? Full variation until the move of interest: 1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Nf6 3. d4 Bg4 4. Bb5+ Nbd7 5. f3 Bf5 6. Nc3 a6 7. Ba4 b5 8. Bb3 Nb6 9. Nge2 Nbxd5 10. Nxd5 Nxd5 11. Ng3 Bg6 12. f4 e6 13. f5 Bb4+

Hello Mio and thanks for the awesome content you always provide on this channel. For the line at 11:25, engine seems to prefer c4 instead of c3. Even if Carlsen played c3, maybe c4 is stronger since it allow white a great control from the center. Like c4, Cb6, Cc3, Fe7, b3, 0-0, Fe3 and white seems quite better. What do you think? Thanks

At the end wasn't it the alhekine fianchetto var?
