The Ruy Lopez, Breyer Variation - Chess Openings Explained 

This was one of my first times watching your lectures Jonathan. I have to say that it was EXTREMELY AWESOME AND INSTRUCTIVE that you gave the general ideas but that you actually went into the sidelines and showed where the pieces generally go and THEN you seemed to go just a little further than that!!! Great video, May I request a Martial Gambit video? ;)

Thank you for all the content! Mr Schrantz is getting really good.

Awesome video. Crystal clear and still entertaining without the distracting jokes and comments that Ben constantly throws in. Thank you for being a professional.

The more I know, more I think , more I think more blunders. Chess is really exhausting game! It's like a war

Please do the Benoni from white and black also do the QGD petrosian variation from both white and black. Please do all your lectures with white and black pov. NOT JUST WHITE!! And I request the Marshall gambit too.

Fantastic games - both from White and Black side - great insights Jonathan!

I would much appreciate a video on the Catalan opening.

wish i could see more opening videos like these, im a fan of modern defences

The slow maneuvering is so brilliant. Rook all the way to th h file with g5... that's nuts. Thank you, Jonathan!

Been waiting for this one! Now for the grob...

Personally i would prefer something dedicated to the anti-Marshall systems. The ones with 8. h3, 8.a4, 8.d4 and 9. d4 (after 8.c3 d5). The Marshall i dont play it as black and i always try to avoid it by playing 5.d3, but white gets a some kind of passive position and dont understand some of the ideas of white in some of the Anti-Marshall systems..

I second Marshall gambit. :)

Marshall Gambit please

Enjoyed the lecture; Thanks for posting :)

it will be nice appreciated if you do a lecture on the exchange variation of ruy lopez and good way for black to counter it.

2:44, the queens are pinning each other. How cool is that!

great video....thanx for uploading....marshall gambit please

Great video but, as said on 16:10, it is not true that black can choose between Re8 and Bb7. Re8 loses to Bxf7 where Kxf7 is followed up by Ng5 + Ne6 winning the black queen. For the rest: good content!

13:04 Breyer start

Thank you warkid42. Good request.

found this channel a few days ago, and it is awesome. Wish I lived in St. Louis so I could go to this club!

I’m really enjoying this channel. As a complete novice it is a little bit intimidating, but the depth of these videos gives me hope that I may someday I understand how to play at a decent level. The only feedback I’d like to give is that slurping water from a plastic bottle with a hot mike throughout the video is super obnoxious. Great job otherwise.

Hi Jonathan, if you're going to do a D4 opening could you do the Torre Attack? Great video as always.

Terrific! Fun, witty, and well explained. Thank You! I like this line, but needed to understand it more deeply. I do now. Terrific, motivating Teacher.

Jonathan is becoming the best chess instructor at the SCSL

Hey Jonathan, yet again an interesting Grunfeld occured. This time in Shamkir Chess 2016 tournament: Eljanov - Caruana, round 2. Unorthodox and very suprising infiltration idea after pawn sacrifice at the end (for me at least :). Gotta admit I don't know anything about the lines chosen there and there is little content about that. Couldn't find a good Grunfeld guide. PS: don't even bother about pronouncing my last name in front of the camera properly. It can be translated literally into "april"

I would really like the marshel gambit

My head explodes looking at the Breyer. Great video and tutor btw. Not your fault. It's my brain :-)

Good lecture

Hi Johnathan - How about Qh4 in response to g4?? Still defends the knight

Excellent video..thanks! Could you please make one on Berlin Defense please.

Could you do the Botvinnik Semi Slav? Or maybe just the semi slav as a whole?

can you show some tactical openings please? I am around 1700-1800 strength and my opponents have quite nice opening knowledge in regular openings....but I usually trick them with middle game tactics, I don't know what I should choose to win against 1400-1600 opponents... I am looking for some tactical opening choices which lead to a sharp game where lesser rated players can go wrong...

Fatboy Slim ft. Mike Kummer. live at bonaroo, debuting the new track "My Ho (Fell For The Fried Liver)"

It seems white has to balance 2 concessions the bishop pair or a nasty pin on the knight on f3

I would have played a3 instead of c3 to hide my bishop. When I look at c3 all I see is my knight getting blocked in. Can anyone explain why I'm wrong to play a3?

you are great

Marshall gambit please !

Very good video.

why taking the bishop with the D pawn after exchange ? are they not more valuable then outer pawns ?

Very good

two bishops vs two knights endgame plz😊☺👍

Leninrad Dutch please

Please do the Closed Sicilian. The challenge: for the duration of the lecture, you are not allowed to use the left side of your brain.

I would love there to be a max langue video

Finally not some random unsound or easy-to-avoid gambit. What happened?

11:47 that’s not a blunder. Nxe4 Bd5 Qd7 Bxe4 d4 Bc2 e4 has been played quite a lot.

thank U..

Good video like it

How about a variation of the Dutch next week, such as the Leningrad or Stonewall?

Danke - sehr cool - super

Rossolimo attack in Sicilian defence.

Do a King's Indain Fianchetto.

For 1 d4 London System

this is the whupass opening. the opening i mostly use and get my ass whooped haha

Hey Jonathan! could you do chigorin defense to d4 for black?

Evans Gambit please. Both accepted and declined. Fun to play either way and soooo much theory.

Exchange Ruy pretty please !

Does anyone at the club have some historical information on how the Breyer variation got its' name? I can't find any original games where Breyer played the variation and the forums about Breyer on Chessgames.com have a long discussion about how nobody can find a game and that perhaps the only link is from a second hand historian who is quoting another written book or article that doesn't exist anymore.Can anyone point to a game played by Breyer that used this line? If not, I suggest we start calling it the Shannon variation, lol.

The RLopez maneuver is infantile to the “Picard Maneuver”!

13:08

hi

marshall plox

I fall in sleep when I hear such us boring talk talk..need more inspiring video, more power, more logic, stronger personality. Motivation is the key.

He’s really trying to sound like Ben Finegold

But again it is Anish Giri

queen to h7. u need to know ur pieces before u tutor people. :P

Note to self, dont play this, im to low rated to maneuver or not blunder 😂

Mr GM Finegold spoiled the wesley game, terrible.

no wonder us is so low rated in chess RIP

Grob

Ra3 and Ra1.... worst defence ever

22:41 Transgendered King? lol

first☺

Very good
