Who's feeling greedy?

I'm keeping the pawn, but you can have the rook

Any opening gets me hyped when you’re so enthusiastic! Haha Still not sure I want to take that pawn though 😂

I just realized your the guy from the St. Louis Chess club with all the jokes! I was overly excited to find out for some reason since I've watched so many of your training videos. Great video!

"This is a guide for greedy players out there that just love to take pawns..." *Yasser Seirawan entered the chat*

This is a dangerously underrated channel

This is all great, but I wish you also covered 3.e3

Just reworked my QGA repertoire to include the noteboom, and this video is lit. Thanks for the content!

If I "get a position" I'm usually well ahead of my usual shitty play.😆 Enjoyed your video

This is so cool I thought you really only produced quality gambit videos but actually your opening videos are up there with th best! Not surprising as I've seen videos of you presenting in St Louis so it's not new to you but really good content. A request: any chance you could show a good response as black to white playing the London system? I've had poor results playing a Dutch setup against the london as recommended by ginger gm

Nice! I love opening videos even though they aren’t as popular as the others

I really love the transposition to the noteboom

Ah, no wonder I've been getting these lines lately

I've just encountered this greedy strategy, the opponent kept my pawn the whole midgame till we had a draw.

Sir keep uploading videos on youtube you are truely an attcking player😍😘love from india

Really superb thanks

hahahha hey jonathan! just watched the video and saw the chat. And to answer my past self; NO, i have NOT done the Pivot lab yet. :(

Can you offer anything on a delayed capture of the c pawn, say on black's fourth or fifth move when a few minor pieces have been developed? My chess computer plays this against me and I soon find myself with an inferior position.

Johnathan Schrantz is in every pawn's nightmare.

Shirt is FANTASTIC

What line is this actually called?

Am looking for the bishop d7 line protecting the by pawn

I'm posting this 2 years after this video was published and I can't believe no one has pointed out that the last move of the game Qe4 is actually faulty, spoiling what otherwise was a very interestingly played game. That last move fails to Rxd3! and now Black has no better than taking back with the pawn which allows the Black Queen out of her box so that she can check Black's King perpetually. If Black eventually tries to block the perpetual checks with a Queen retreat or immediately takes back on d3 with the Q (instead of cxd3) keeping the White Queen boxed and only after a Q exchange retake cxd3, White wins by retreating the Knight to c3 and now no black pawn can promote to queen. White then mops of the pawns with his King and with the extra piece wins the game. So, too bad. Although the last move spoiled the game's result, of course the alternate Qxh3 followed by mopping up all the kingside pawns before allowing a Q exchange should be good for at least a draw if not a win.

Doesn't Qa4+ immediately win the pawn?

that a file pin is vicious. It can hit like a shock. At the lower ranks.

Explain the costume please. Halloween is nowhere close, why are you dressed as Dracula? 🧛‍♂️ Also, great lecture as usual 👍

oooh I'm early! Hello Jonathan :)

what if white plays pawn e3?

Just want to make the note that my initial comment being liked by the best chicken in the barn is handsomely the best, made my day. Thanks to count chickula and for all the people taking the time to read this. . Don't try cocaine, it will take you places you probably don't want to go. Speaking from experience I was institutionalized from about 2 weeks after my first comment here and just back home for 2 months

two times in slav defense i takes the pawn and play b5 and Ba6 and i win both games, one of them i checked his games after and he's now plays in move 3 cxd in QGD and i think this is funny

yaaayyy I'm the one saying 'hiiiiii youtube :D' on 00:30

against the greedy players? there's Qa4+, tho, the tempo will fade...

What about 3.e3

Boom

At 11:08 Stockfish plays QF3 and that's a piece loss.

Hi Twitch 👋

I think u can come up with counterplay against the Sicilian based upon 1. This vid 2. The Keres attack 3. Attacking with pieces in front of your king. 4 Castling kingside. 5 rerouting the kingside knight early on and seem stupid by moving the same piece twice. 6 fianchetto the bish (kingside) 7 attack f7 with queen and rook battery. Later in the game.

At the twelve minute mark, instead of white going back with the rook, why not just take the knight? A knight and a rook for a rook has to be alright.

I always decline this gambit.

Are you really a greedy player if you sac an exchange? Seems more like a fiscaly irresponsible player.

Actually? This was actually very actually GOOD !!~!!!~!!

I just unlocked this achievement by luck xD for some reason i felt greedy
