That setup with the white knight on e5 reinforced by two pawns that you said is/is not like a stonewall is called a “Pillsbury Knight” after Harry Nelson Pillsbury, who pioneered that technique.
Your videos do help us improve our games. But how do we make our foundation strong? In the middle game we sometimes do get lost.. specially when the opponent makes a different move from what we know.
The middle game is all about making plans, its not just about what the best move is. You decide on a plan and even if the opponent plays a move you didnt expect you look for either what that oppenents plan is so you can prevent it, or find a way to continue your plan based off the move they played. If the move they played stops your plan you either have to create or new plan, or find a different way to make your plan succeed. You cant think of the middle game like opening theory.
Hi I don't know if you have already shown it. But what should I play against d4, d5 then kc3 and kc6. If you have already covered it could u link the video. Thanks alot.
i was wondering, why doesnt the oponent on minute 18:10 after you castled, take the e5 square with his knight, and what would be your answer to that? seems like an annoying place for white
