I adjusted the volume and had no problems...

It is my go to weapon against e4 now, love it.

Do you find most people take the full centre? Do you get advance C.K or exchange C.K more often?

@@zaaxi7424 i get exchange wayy more than the advance, but im only at 1000 elo rating

@@sivagnanasundaramthiruchel9204 I am around 1200 and I get it more often. I guess people on lower elo are more happy with trading.

@@zaaxi7424 advanced, classical and fantasy and panov are much more common at my level

me too :D

You should watch Alex banzea videos then. He has excellent videos on both

@@willzang3000 check out Alex Banzea videos! He teaches both

Dude looks a bit like Benny too lol.

Nxe5 is answered by Bf4. The knight goes back, and now the bishop can infiltrate black’s position. He can get establish a powerful outpost for the bishop on d6, with no black counterpart to oppose it. Leaving e5 there actually helps Black protect his position.

That allows Qd4+ going into a winning endgame.

25.Rg3 looks like a great advantage and perhaps winning for white. Black should have played 22...Ne7, but then white should have tried 22.f5. This is why 20...g6 was suggested for black.

sorry i would add, when black replies with h4 and white plays B-e2 asap, attacking the black pawn

the audio is frankly acceptable.

@@Chessdot89 4/7 points. 3 wins 2 draws 2 losses.

@@Chessdot89 yes. Ended in draw

e6 seems both thematic and safe

Really nice lecture btw

Has his own channel. He hasn't done a St. Louis lecture in a while.

@Wretchskull Now I'm a 2078 player who hasn't studied the game. Stop being an ass.

@Eleuthero5, that's on lichess blitz, chess is a great thing to study even if it isn't the most productive. Stop spreading negativity about the game. It's a great hobby, and it is good to expand on your hobbies. So just stop spreading negativity about chess in lichess and youtube. We respect your opinions, but you don't have to discourage spread and study of the game.

I love the game of chess but I have a sense of proportion about its place in my life. Chess breeds obsession more than any pursuit I can think of and, frankly, it's a sinkhole into which many a fine soul has fallen. It's also a solitary game unlike music where, if you're a skilled practitioner, you can deliver joy to an audience. Here's a quote from unofficial ex World Champion Paul Morphy about chess: "Chess never has been and never can be aught but a recreation. It should not be indulged in to the detriment of other and more serious avocations - should not absorb or engross the thoughts of those who worship at its shrine, but should be kept in the background, and restrained within its proper province. As a mere game, a relaxation from the severe pursuits of life, it is deserving of high commendation."

Bro you're watching a video on a chess opening so clearly you are studying it.

@@danielfarrant1306 Clearly?? I watched maybe 10 minutes of this 53 minute video. When it comes to chess I'm not "studying" a damned thing.
