what if black plays 3.Qe5 or 3.Qe6
@alexastaneh4 ай бұрын
Yes, these are other lines that are important. I may cover them in future videos - for now am on an extended break as am working on a Chessable course but once that's done I will try to get back and fill out the theory vids a bit more so there is a chance I will cover these in the future - not sure of the channel direction yet though.

@@alexastanehok great i was just wondering because that is what is played in my games.
@johnpaulp4 ай бұрын
@@alexastanehOk. Ive just seen that played a lot against me Also i would like to know if the moves i usually do after that are good or not. It usually goes something like this after black plays Qe5. Be2 Bg4 D4 Qe6 D5 and after that i usually chase thir queen around and develop my peices while they have to worry about their queen.
@andrewwilson912310 күн бұрын
@@johnpaulp You can also consider 6.f3, with g4 and f4-f5 to follow. It's really fun and black already needs to find 8...f5 to not lose immediately. White wins 70+% of games from these positions (sometimes even 90%) and white is almost +2

Hey - I would like to get back to making videos but any energy I have at the moment is going into my upcoming Chessable course. That will be done in May, so if I am feeling good about recording more YT stuff I'll kickstart it then, though not 100% at moment.

I don't think they are too long, they are really comprehensive dont think you can cut down on to much or it will loose the quality of them. Possible solutions make them into part 1, part 2, part 3. That would be an alternative if you think you need to go that way !

Hey man. I've been working on my upcoming chessable course (on positional chess) and it's been taking up all of my time over the past few months, so the channel is dormant at least until that's done. After it's finished I'll think about it, for now I'd like to get back into uploading but it's just a hobby so not 100%...we'll see!

I don't think the Pirc is difficult including the Austrian attack and the 150 which is the hardest IMO. The Alekhine and Scillian are difficult. The Scandinavian is easy especially for beginners. Every time I play it, 90% decline and push their pawn. I'm a 65 year old newbie. I took a 45 year break from playing chess. Perhaps that might explain my thoughts.
