The game begins with the moves 1. e4 c5, which is the starting position of the Sicilian Defense. However, after 2. Nc3 and 3. Bb5, White has chosen to play a Closed Sicilian system. In a Closed Sicilian, White plays d3 and Nf3, instead of d4, in order to control the center with pawns and knights. The Closed Sicilian often leads to a slower, more positional game, as opposed to the Open Sicilian, where White plays d4 and the game becomes more tactical and open.

@Grandcapi Жыл бұрын

And there is the Basman variation in the Dutch where Black plays Nh6 with the idea of f5. I use to play it. If the opponent plays de London in some lines Black will win a piece (e5+e4). It is an old idea of Michael Basman but almost ignored by modern books on the Dutch. I am a Dutch player too.

GG ! GL ! Thank you Gm Danya, the chess sensei wordsmith prophet ! GM Danya`s Word of the Day. Devoid ( Danya's opponent was devoid of counter play ) GM Danya's phrase of the day. There are sayings to discourage chess players from putting their knights far from the center. Most notably, “a knight on the rim is grim” or “a knight on the rim is dim.” Both sayings mean don't put your knights on the edge of the board. Hahaha. Thanks Danya great vibes ! Hope that red liquid you were drinking was pinot noir. New Zealand surely has the best pinot noir red wine in the world with the highest levels of resveratrol, that can contribute to neurogenesis. Drink in moderation of course ! I usually drink 1- 1.5 glasses with my dinner only, 3-4 days a week. Helps me sleep easily and wake up feeling great too.

I think this game was even better than last one, the way you setup/played f5 with possible knight to f2 vs whit'es e5 early is a great great answer. I've played grand prix and had great success , my question is how can black defend if white plays sharper and pushes h pawn before allowing your f4 which imo suffocated white.

@witcher-86 Жыл бұрын

cool game, though as playing this line from the white side I must say that I'm quite happy when black goes 3..g6, I consider it bit of an inaccuracy, cause white gets improved rossolimo (f4 already played before Nf3) and against this Nh6 and f5 line, e5! is key move closing and gaining space followed by Qe1-g3, b3, Na4, c4! we can support e5 with Re1,Bb2 if needed and I think white has an edge

31:40 Daniel, Can you explain the queen trap after Bf6, Rg8 and Bg4? The white Queen can give a check on f7+ escaping right?

@pandaro3622 Жыл бұрын

The Queen can get out to c4 with a price tag of -10 with the lichess engine. Assuming you get those moves in for free and white does nothing, after Qf7+ you block with the Rook to g7, Queen only has c4 to go to. That Queen is so far away from the defence of the king you might aswell consider her dead. After she moves you already have Bxh3 because the pawn is pinned. Followed up with Rxg2 or Qg8 threatening a bunch more stuff.

@rage2904 Жыл бұрын

I wish Danya had refuted the insistent f5 gambit after ...Nh6. It's the catalyst for the grand prix attack, white is usually happy to give away the f-pawn to open up the bishop. I guess the attack is too slow for adequate comp since neither side is even castled yet?

@atsubbie8876 Жыл бұрын

At the end why didn’t white play kH3-G5+? And then trade off the knight for the bishop?

@negativerainbow Жыл бұрын

Would your opponent in the earlier turns after you played pawn F5 been able to counterattack with pawn to G4 to break down the pawns around your king? It definitely is a lot riskier after they castled kingside, but potentially they could have looked to castle queenside and go for some sort of attack.

@nirmalbaishnab4910 Жыл бұрын

Finegold suggested 2...a6 after white 2. Nc3. What do you think about this line?

@pairot01 Жыл бұрын

While you were preparing to attack I kept thinking "we should develop our bishop first, maybe also out queen". It's hard to understand why we should attack first. Were there any defensive resources that could have timely stopped us? Maybe h3-h4 stops our pawn progress?

@fonryjji Жыл бұрын

Not claiming to be an expert but from my understanding in a lot of positions in the king's indian defence which this position resembles, black usually advances the king side pawns to try to claim space and attack the white king who is castled on the same side. This usually leads to black having a pawn chain pointing from d6 to g3. The light squared bishop for black is already well placed on its initial position controlling the c8 to h3 diagonal parallel to the pawn chain in the direction of blacks attack. Another detail is that the light squared bishop is usually used as a battering ramp for black's attack as it usually sacrifices itself for the pawn on h3 when white tries to lock up the pawns on the king side.

Rather than Nh6, how about e6 and Ne7 to prepare f5? It seems more flexible and it's a common setup in the closed Sicilian

@hectorgray8542 Жыл бұрын

What are your thoughts on 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. Nf3 e5? If it's easier to equalize than in the Open Sicilian then I reckon ... Nc6 should be the best move independently of what line you play, since White cannot play d4 anymore and you still keep your centre pawns flexible.
