It's another live blitz game. I don't understand the apparent popularity of the move 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 c6?! among FICS guests. This game boils down to a pawn up knight ending.

  • May I suggest playing rated games? These guests are way below you, and it would be interesting to see something more sophisticated.

  • Yeah they do get that way sometimes. This is the last live blitz for a while though. I may make some other type of video next.

  • at 2:44 cant you play bishop h6 winning his rook?

  • 7.Bh6?? Nxh6

  • thanks for the video.

    what is your opinion of the sicilian? i don't see many of your games in that line

  • My Sicilian opinions? hmm.

    I like to play the Taimanov or Paulsen against the Open Sicilian for Black (which I've shown in a couple videos I think), I accept the Smith Morra Gambit, I think the c3 Sicilian is annoying, I believe the Dragon is bad for Black... my current approach against the Sicilian is to play e4,Nc3,Nge2 and then decide whether to play d3 or d4 - this is called the Chameleon. Sometimes I will play g3,Bg2,O-O as well and only then choose between d3 and d4.

  • 6:05 If you had played Kg5, wouldn't you win a pawn?

  • 6:07 if you had played Kg5 wouldn't you win a pawn?

  • lol, always on time!! :P Nice video.

    Thanks.

  • Yes, this is very good stuff man. This is much appreciated, one rarely sees an expert play a live game. My suggestion to you is to continue live games. They would be better as, if I am not mistakened, most games are played live. This would allow us to have near 100 percent insight in your head while the games going on. Just a suggestion. And Also, if you do intend on using my suggestion have longer games aswell.

    And of course, beautiful checkmate on your part. And you wasted time too!

  • yeah he must have missed it

  • ahh i see. thanks. keep up the posting. im loving the new blitz games.
