Chess Lesson #8, Part G (Queen's Gambit: Tartakower Defense)

should'nt white have moved a4 at some point? now black can just push the b pawn and gain ground as well as attacking the knight and forcing it back to b1 .. ?

@multiYellowHorse At the end of the video, if Black plays b5 White can just capture it. And preparing b5 with a6 seems too slow for Black because White will play dxc5 "forcing" bxc5 (or else Black gets an isolated pawn).

Don't listen to them Ken! Your lectures are a lot more indepth than the others on YouTube. Keep up the good work!

Ken, I'm working my way through these vids to reacquaint myself with the Queen's pawn openings, and they are very helpful, but seriously man, it sounds like you are using a mic headset too close or just like right on top of the mic. Just move a foot away next time

[otheusrex]

it sounds really gross and its very distracting to hear your tongue smacking around in your mouth and your breathing. It's like its right your mouth is right next to my ear and I find it hard to pay attention to what your saying

They were originally for some students at a chess club.
