Handling a Speedy, Aggressive player | Standard Chess
Рет қаралды 19,672
Күн бұрынIn this 1.d4 game, Black comes blazing out of the gates with a popular reply online, 1...c5. Although I like 2.c3 as a practical option (inviting a transposition to an Exchange Slav after 2...cxd4 3.cxd4 d5), here I play the principled space-grabbing move, 2.d5. My opponent continues their blistering pace, and even sacrifices a piece within the first 10 moves! Against such players it's important to take your time (strictly avoid "matching" their pace) and capitalize on the carelessness that will likely creep into their speedy play.

Hey John, in the 1990's I used to be a player and director at the St Paul Castle Chess Club, back when Minnesota was kind of a chess desert, at least at the international level. So when you started playing I followed your progress on the scholastic rating lists and tournaments as one of Minnesota's brightest chess lights. Of course when I found out a few years ago that you had a KZfaq channel I started following that as well. I was gratified to find that outside of being one of Minnesota's strongest players you were also a nice person in general. Congratulations on all your successes and thanks for being a great representative of our home state.

Hearing you say you don't care about views you care about comments. Thank you John. You have given me so much education and enjoyment over the years. Without you I don't think I would have become passionate about chess. I began watching you 5 years or more ago when I first began playing, and I still love all of your content I have watched probably every video. Thank you for your humility and your willingness to share your high level education skills on this platform. There are other good content creators, but I think in term of if you want a teacher, you're the man as you understand what a learner needs in a way which nobody else in the chess community does. You are a legend, thanks so much.

Idk if you will see this on an older video, but WOW I can't believe it's taken me this long to start watching the Standard Chess series. I'm a die hard Climbing the Rating Ladder viewer, I honestly think I've watched every single one dating back to your very first videos at this point, I've even gotten to the point of re-watching lol. For some reason I just assumed Standard Chess meant higher level games with less educational content, I have absolutely no idea why. Anyways, long story short I am so happy I've realized that is NOT the case because I focus mainly on longer games such as 15+10 myself and wow. So happy I have hours and hours more content to consume from you. Thank you as always for the great content.

I got so much from Climbing the Ratings Ladder series a few years back. I so appreciated the respect you paid to players so far below your rating. What really struck home was the analysis of your move choices as well as those of your opponent. This, perhaps, more than anything helped me improve my game. It offered a path to improvement through simple checks on one's choices. My chess thinking improved immeasurably! I've learnt much from other KZfaq coaches although none quite match you in terms quality of analysis and ease of comprehension.

Something like Lichess Plays or your climbing the rating ladder series, where you play lower rated opponents, except here you would play with the same opening plan in every game of a single video, or something along those lines. I think it could be very instructive for people (like me) who are trying to learn a specific opening:)
