It's great how you not only present the correct ideas but also traps. Most people when they teach an opening just cover the good moves but you also emphasize on what to to fall into
You're an extremely good chess educator. You explain the plans and the ideas of the opening in a very engaging and insightful way. It makes the variations so much more understandable and memorable
Awesome idea for a series! I love when the Yugoslav is on the board from either side. With that said, I don’t know much after move 10. Excited to see the rest of the videos!
Amasing content quality once again . I love the Dragon. Some people have discouraged me from playing it in the past, but maybe thanks to you it will be part of my repertoire for good. Looking forward to the rest of the course. Keep up the great work!
Incredible to hear! Obviously, everyone has their own opinion, but I think there are some fresh ideas that I will show instead of common theory, that make the dragon much more powerful!
The Dragon isn't that popular in the GM fraternity - and is super-tactical. I love using it however, especially the 'Dragon-Dorf', which can be an effective weapon against the Yugoslav Attack with 0-0-0
settled on the jovada london for white and have just been trying to achieve quick development and play good chess for black but I'm leaning towards the dragon sicilian for the black rn. Only been playing a couple months and went from 450 to 700 since i started.Love your videos dude, thank you
I am just not sure exactly what to pick. D4 vs E4. I play d4 more, and feel I could give more specific and useful suggestions there. But for attacking, e4 is usually better.
I've just come across your channel and repertoires, and it makes one feel truly impressed, excited, and grateful! Congratulations and keep it up! Two questions about this masterclass: were you inspired by any players or sources when you made it? Also, do you usually like to recommend solid/positional lines or aggressive/tactical ones in this repertoire?
Thanks! 1) Not necessarily, 2) For this rep., in the spirit of the dragon, it is very aggressive. But, I also have the nimzo masterclass, for example, which is a calmer way to deal with 1.d4
do u want to introduce any other books in the future? bcs of u I got so much motivation and hit 1900 today. The last days I spent hours on watching your beautiful book vids
Possibly in the future, but this masterclasses focuses on the open sicilian only - maybe I will make one about dealing with anti-sicilians in the future! :) Glad you enjoy the content
