  • @ddstar I like the start of the blitz games where you have up to 90 seconds of talking about the opponent's name!!! :D

    My favorite off the top of my head was GM Marmalade :o.

  • Nice trap! I'd love to see more in lines like the two knight's defence or the ruy lopez.

  • I think I must have whatched about 400 of these now, and some of the fav's I watch over and over. I'm so glad you post!

  • I thoroughly enjoyed that video, and especially Capablanca's game.

  • @DigitalSkyline Chesstempocom check it out. It helped me get to almost 1900 so far :D

  • my analysis of the lines that follow 9. ...Ne4 significantly favor white more than the Capablanca continuation.

    9. ...Ne4 10. Bxe4 Bxe4 11. Qxe4 Qxg5 12. Qxa8 Nc6 13. Qb7 Nxd4

    14. Rd1 in my opinion is the inaccuracy that gives black counterplay...

    far more solid is 14. Qe4 (...protecting the 14. ...Nc2+ and bringing the White Queen back to life) and after 14. ...c5 keeping the knight on a solid central square (or any sensible black move) 15. O-O and the counterplay is diminished.

    ...thoughts?

  • I'm glad you're doing some trap videos, they're some of my favorites

  • @Iodine1987 I don't think that works because black can just develop his other knight to c6 and material is equal instead of white going up the exchange.

  • After Ng5 applying the trap....Ne4 Well, then doesn't Nxe4 look more appetizing then Bxe4 anyone agree? If anything it will leave the queen able to defend the d4 pawn. Play it out in your head or on a board somewhere. I disagree with whoever that was that played Bxe4. I don't mind if someone proves me wrong, the topic is open for debate.

  • @ddstar he sometimes starts with "okay" instead of "hi all", but thats usually when he already uploaded a video that day.
