  1. Can you do more black openings from the perspective of black?

  2. Id like to see queens gambit

  3. @Saint Louis Chess Club
    38:07 you're not losing losing your queen, you're getting mated! I'd like to see some video on the stonewall maestro.

  4. 45+ minutes of blah that could be condensed in 15

  5. At 19:00, the winning move for black is Nc4, which nets two pieces for the rook.

  6. I love J.S. he is so deadpan and funny.

  7. "You're probably not threatening to take the knight." AKA: Taking the knight is the only not losing move. How are you a GM. Terrible.

  8. I like the ROG 4000 it tkes 3 tries wow superior

  9. actual discussion of the sicilian dragon starts at 2:59, save 3 minutes and go straight there

  10. In the second game, Rb3 by black after white's Rg1 was forced mate, I guess!
    (@38:57)

  11. I'm excited to try this against myself

  12. Saint Louis Chess Club is awesome!

  13. Thank you sir just because of u I won the chess tournament in my college☺️

  14. Does playing this for white also make sense when black plays 2.e6 and later Be7 etc?

  15. Black should have taken a2 with queen at 44:59 …check mate to Magnus in 2 move

  16. I am always disappointed by opening books and videos. They never look at lines I play. Lines I play, alot are awful, but aleast I could learn why.

  17. Make a video of opening when white plays G3 first move. Hungarian opening covering all its variations and lines. I will be waiting for yr reply .

  18. GREAT STUFF BIG J … Thanks Pal & Blessings from Oregon! … Mike AKA Chess Barron

  19. Please what the name of the song in the vedio begining please answer me

  20. Sir after Bishop to b5,,,the queen to a5 is a good move

  21. Classic chess audience 🤣🤣

  22. i waited for this 😀 hahahahh

  23. In the mainline of ruy lopez closed variation,after 7……-d6 8.c3 ,what if black plays Bg4

  24. So excited to learn this one!

  25. the audience was definitely on something.

  26. "so this is kinds of… the point'

  27. Really enjoyable! It took me about two hours to go through it but i think I understood most of it! Tyvm 🙂

  28. Very annoying when the lecturers interact with the audience

  29. Wouldn't Bishop to E6 be a great answer to the queen check at 10:44?

  30. 42:31 Am I missing something and this move was not a blunder? Because the knight is hanging now and black can just take it. Its only defender the Knight on C3 is tied up preventing check mate (Qxa3, pxa3, Rxa3?)

  31. So in the second game where white won why didn't black press with Rook takes pawn at B2. It's what looks like a guaranteed checkmate in a couple moves.

  32. This video is not only informative but god damn hilarious. Subbing instantly 😂😂

  33. Please do kings Indian defence strategies and tactics both for middle and endgame

  34. 18:08 Nc4! from black wins a whole knight after Nxc8 Nxd2+ Kc1 Rxc8 Kxd2 Bxd4,
    (or) it gains the initiative after Nc4! Bxc4 Rxc4 Ne2.

  35. props to the ROG 4000 drawing the dragon raargh

  36. Correction – 10:40 this is simply an exchange, no advantage gained for White. After cxb5 and Qxd5+, black moves bishop Be6 and rook is defended.

  37. great channel thank you so much

  38. backk at some unreeber move number when black was threatening rook-rook-queen checkmate and white answered with a3, if the black bishop takes the e knight, could you look rxb2? with the knight's protector off the board and c2 still closed, it seems like there is a mate there. (and thank you for your awesome videos)

  39. Can we have Reti? This is an exciting opening…

  40. I have a ROFRG 5000
