All these time, I was a Spanish player☺️☺️
At 7:00, how to respond to black playing Nd4? Nxe5?
Why would black move bishop to e7 instead of moving it to c6? isn't that a much stronger position that pins the f2 pawn?
6:37 I'm very confused about this move. I mean, if black advances their a-file pawn then white still can't do anything from the a2 position to stop it from pressuring the bishop. The a-4 position seems to be a much better place to promote the pawn, because if black captures your pawn from this position, you can then capture that pawn with the bishop, which will once again pin the c6 knight as the Ruy Lopez originally intends. Does anyone know what the deal is with this maneuver?
Thanks!
Thank God a commentator without an accent who can be understood finally! Why are foreign born men with heavy accents doing all the chess tutorials?
I was sure Ruy Lopez is Kb3 before moving the Bishop, lol.
what if you take the knight with the bishop in the beginning?
Played this for the first time and got a win in thirteen moves
Eleven years bro… Eleven fucking years. Oh dear time..
6:28 how does a3 stop that?
Wait, at 7:51 how do we put the king in check from there? White’s pawn and black’s knight is in the way.
You are extremely boring.
01:27 Isn't this the Rossolimo Sicilian?
6:25 I don’t understand that nifty move
way too much blahblah, could be 3 minutes shorter
I don’t get the ruy lopez. It feels like a lot of sacrifice in terms of development for white to place the bishop on b3 if you dont go for the knight capture.
I like the music
Would this opening work against English opening?
im being careful now about ruy lopez because my oponent play it first than fried liver attack.
So I played this game in chess.com I am a 900 rated. i was black After Bishop b5, I played pawn D2 to D5. The rest you can imagine I suppose.
After winning the game this is what I got from the site: Ruy-Lopez-Opening-Spanish-Countergambit. And that is why I ended up watching your video. tho I saw the opening part but the counter. You did not mention. but i guess it begins with d2 to d5. that cuasi forces a move that I hope happed and di happen.
play this video with 1.25x
coming to this as capablanca always use this variation
dude! you are annoying!
At 9:00 white can move knight to G5 and regardless of black go F7 next turn and take the queen by fork or with the bishop from B3
At 7:12. Can you launch the fried liver attack from this position?
I love the way he calls it the Roy Lopez.
This opening can turn into the Looli attack as well. Plus other variations. Some of the others I need to watch 10 more times. Thanks.
Towards the end of the video you discussed a few variation trading the knights on the E file and delivering check. Why not just make the moves so we can see what you're talking about?
Can someone explain @6:31 how pawn to a3 protects the bishop?
but why are the king and queen the wrong way round????
Hehe
Hey kevin
play this video at 1.5 speed
they say with pawns always capture towards the center. Shouldnt Black be responding with Pawn C7 takes bishop and not Pawn D7? …. or does it really matter
I'm so sad thechesswebsite dropped so soon. Please come back soon Kevin! We will donate
