  • What happens if white plays Nxd4 instead of castling? Doesn't that threaten Nxb5/Bxb5 as well and stop black from playing Nd5 or Nc5 because of Bxb5+? Or is white overreaching and neglecting his king safety too much somehow? I don't see any really dangerous attack for black after the pawn grab on Nxd4, and it just seems like white is a pawn down, and going to be 2 pawns down with no compensation. I know i'm missing something really simple, but someone please enlighten my patzer self.. thnx.

  • Please can you give the time point of what you are referring to, e.g. 5:00

  • At 3:57, what happens if white plays Nd4 instead of castling. Is the long bishop diagonal and half open g file and lead in development going to be too much for white to handle?

  • 3:57

  • just a thought- when making multiple videos with a similar subject, it would be convenient for us, your devoted subscribers, if the videos were linked- as video responses, etc... thanks again for your tireless efforts!

  • I have linked them now - thanks for the suggestion.

  • "look at these pawns, coming down like space invaders" xD

  • how about 13. Nxd4 or 13.Bxb5 ????????

  • how about 13.Nxd4 or 13.Bxb5 ????????

  • why white didn't move 13.Nxd4 or 13.Bxb5

  • why not 1.d4 Nf6

  • love your accent :)

  • Your video is titled slav defense, but it is actually the semi-slav. Please correct.

  • @ex0duzz I was thinking about exactly the same thing! @Kingscrusher, he is referring to the position at 03:55. Why doesn't White play 13. Nxd4, preventing 13. ...Nc5 with the threat of 14. Bxb5+. There might be something obvious I'm missing but I don't see it. Thx a lot in advance!

  • Can anyone tell me what's wrong with 17. Bxb5 at 06:49?
