I'm playing on Chess.com -- these aren't sponsored videos but the site seems pretty cool.
Chess has been having a resurgence in popularity this year so I have finally acquiesced to semi-popular demand and started to play a bit. First, let's hone our skills and get a little more warmed up and then let's conquer chess dot com one board gamer at a time.

Hey NL, I want to thank you for getting me back into chess. In return I wanted to share something with you that I came across in a recent game. I have been learning the Vienna Gambit, IM Levy Rozman's signature opening. There is one line where if your opponent is both dumb enough to blunder the knight and galaxy brained enough to find Qh4+ then the best response according to the computer is to bongcloud to e3. I don't know if Levy would approve but if stockfish wants you to Bongcloud then I feel like your obligated. For your consideration Vienna Gambit accepted, Bongcloud variation: 1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. f4 exf4 4. e5 Nd5 5. Nxd5 Qh4+ 6. Ke2 f3+ 7. Ke3

I like the pace you play at. I checked out GothamChess' channel and with his videos I have no idea what's going on at all, I feel like you need to be an experienced chess player to have any chance of following along. With your videos though that's not a problem, I understand what's happening and why.

@Hsel-lc1wt 3 жыл бұрын

Gotham makes a lot of videos specifically for beginners where he goes slower and explains more - I'd definitely recommend checking those out :)

@AndreasTPC 3 жыл бұрын

@@Hsel-lc1wt I did check a couple, but I can't really follow it. Even in videos for beginners he'll just rapidly list a bunch of moves, like that's supposed to mean something. He doesn't explain the significance of the moves. Does he think that just saying what a move is makes the implications of that move obvious? Maybe it does and I'm just stupid, but when I get a list of 10 moves in 20 seconds all I see is "a bunch of pieces moved" and I have no idea what it all means. Or am I supposed to just memorize it and not bother with understanding? When watching NL I get it tough. I see him considering different alternatives at a specific point, and from seeing what they have in common I understand what he's trying to do. When he considers an alternative and rejects it I can see why it's bad, and that the move he played instead doesn't have the same flaw.

So the beginning of this video is a perfect example. That was the main line of the classical Caro-Kann. I don't know the full line, but I know it up to 4.Be5. That sequence for someone who plays a decent amount of the Caro-Kann like you shouldn't take 40 seconds. From your side it shouldn't take more than 10 because by now you know those are the right moves

"We know knight b6 is gonna happen" "I constantly have to pay attention to what knight b6 might create" Meanwhile knight b6 would have won the exchange back for white for like 5 straight moves because it traps the rook (rook a2 would save the exchange for a move but would lose the whole rook instead because after bishop b8 the rook would have been well and truly trapped), the opponent doesn't play it and Northernlion doesn't prevent it at any point while he is commenting about how that move might be annoying. (preventing it could be achieved by rook c8 or the awkward king to e8)
