It is one of the highest-rated all-female tournaments in chess history, with Women's World Champion GM Ju Wenjun as the top seed and GM Valentina Gunina as title defender. Born a year ago, the tournament is named after Saint Louis Chess Club co-founder Dr. Jeanne Sinquefield, whose maiden name is Cairns. Last year, she expressed hope that the tournament would become one of the premier chess tournaments in the world.That seems to already be the case when it comes to women's chess. The first edition was a very successful event, full of great fights among some of the best female players in the world. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5n3PuGpVIY4 18800 2020-02-12T01:25:12+00:00 https://chessterra.com/attend-the-pro-chess-league-finals-at-chess-party-2020-meet-magnus-carlsen/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/yqwP5BQc84g.jpg Attend The PRO Chess League Finals At Chess Party 2020, Meet Magnus Carlsen!

In conjunction with that, black will play e6 and Nf6, giving himself a very flexible and solid position, which white won’t be able to attack easily. As opposed to the KID and d5 setups, the QID setup is very hard to break through! https://www.youtube.com/embed/3ZOcEWKPSOc 1535 2020-02-11T17:01:17+00:00 https://chessterra.com/game-of-the-season-caruana-vs-firouzja-pro-chess-league-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/SzqPSEjlhis.jpg Game of The Season! || Caruana vs Firouzja || Pro Chess League (2020) Watch Jozarov's video here Fabiano Caruana vs Alireza Firouzja Ruy Lopez, Berlin defence (C65) Mailbox where you can send stuff: p.s. this is not my home address :) Contact me: agadmatormanga@gmail.com or agadmator@gmail.com Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here Download agadmator chess clock for Android here ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.youtube.com/embed/SzqPSEjlhis 1013 2020-02-11T17:28:35+00:00 https://chessterra.com/never-underestimate-the-power-of-trash-talk-boston-mike-vs-tony-montanax/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/cXbJMWLuoSk.jpg Never Underestimate The Power of Trash Talk!

Team ChessNetwork was the team I competed for, naturally. Members of the same team do not get paired against each other. The sum of the top 20 performers' scores equals the final team total. In my mind if you compete for a team, you are a help to a team. Even if you are outside of the top 20 for team ChessNetwork, you are pushing other members to score higher. Moreover, defeating or even losing a hard fought battle to other competitors helps keep the scores of other teams less.

I have tried to explain the two main approaches white could opt for against this – the aggressive approach with 3. Nc3, going for opposite side castling and a kingside attack, and the more conservative 3. e3, most likely leading to both sides castling kingside. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8riYW7EC1lQ 2198 2020-02-10T16:07:36+00:00 https://chessterra.com/chess-author-vs-trash-talker-ends-brutally-the-great-carlini-vs-savage-sasha/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KsnL5YH0xGo.jpg Chess Author Vs.

The name itself is very descriptive. The London is a system, a setup, not an independent opening. It’s a development plan white uses regardless of what black chooses to play. If you play the London System, you can be sure to enter it. Black has no way of avoiding it. That makes it a very useful weapon for tournament chess. It’s much easier to learn than e4 or main line d4 or move on. It gives your opponent far less options. Instead of having to learn 50 different opening variations black could play, you have basically limited the amount of learning you have to do to one system! https://www.youtube.com/embed/S_OYdWbJMKM 1786 2020-02-08T16:57:31+00:00 https://chessterra.com/london-system-against-1-d5/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/9z0NuNeDU6M.jpg London System against 1…d5 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): In this video I have covered the main lines of the London system which arise after black meets d4 with 1...d5, the classical approach. I have covered all the variations starting with 2.Bf4 instead of Nf3, because they are simpler to play, and give white a distinct edge in some variations when compared to Nf3. The video is divided into two parts, the basics, in which I go over all the options for black, and how white should adjust to each one and play against each, and part two, in which I have covered the main line of the London System against d5 setups, starting with the move 2...Nf6. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9z0NuNeDU6M 2692 2020-02-09T14:15:07+00:00 https://chessterra.com/2-proud-trash-talkers-1-gets-the-last-laugh-boston-mike-vs-the-great-carlini/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/SJ_fUx3Ay9I.jpg 2 Proud Trash Talkers! 1 Gets The Last Laugh!

It is classified as a "Semi-Open Game" like the Sicilian Defence and French Defence, although it is thought to be more solid and less dynamic than either of those openings. It often leads to good endgames for Black, who has the better pawn structure. This is another video by RCA guest coach IM Asaf Givon in his series of 'Opening Repertoires'. In this video lesson, he explains the opening variation for White in the Caro-Kann Defense, the Two Knights Variation. It follows the moves 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Nf3 (or 2.Nf3 d5 3.Nc3). https://www.youtube.com/embed/QzfS-Iu7P8o 1276 2020-02-08T09:15:24+00:00 https://chessterra.com/cambridge-springs-defense-opening-theory/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/FWYUAAWAfic.jpg Cambridge Springs Defense Opening Theory 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> The Queen’s Gambit Declined is the most popular way to fight the attempt by white to give up (gambit) his c4 pawn.

After the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 Nd4 most players will be tempted to take the pawn with 4.Nxe5 as it also creates a threat on f7. The trap is set after Black plays 4...Qxe5. https://www.youtube.com/embed/CgLgXNAvxso 1055 2020-02-04T18:56:08+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-worst-tournament-of-my-life/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/pzQYePpPo1w.jpg The worst tournament of my life 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> In this video I covered all seven games I played at the Rabac Open in January – edit on the video: it’s not Rabac 2019, but 2020. These are Road to GM games 131-138. It was the worst tournament I’ve ever played, and the toughest days of my chess “career” so far. I was weak psychologically and couldn’t cope with the bad results, bad pairings, and tough, underrated opponents. I lost 42 Elo points, more than I’d earned in December. The truth is that I should have lost even more. I went from 1911 in December, to 1935 in January, and 1893 after Rabac. That hurts because I thought I could reach 2000, my goal. Instead of that I finished worse than last year. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pzQYePpPo1w 3444 2020-02-04T14:19:07+00:00 https://chessterra.com/ragozin-defense-opening-theory/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/6oRtSS4lENo.jpg Ragozin Defense Opening Theory 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> The Queen’s Gambit Declined is the most popular way to fight the attempt by white to give up (gambit) his c4 pawn.

But most chess players misunderstand defense as playing passively. Defense is not always being passive - it is a much more deep strategy. As humans, our natural instinct would be to 'defend' (guard), in this case being 'passive', but that is not a good thought process when it comes to chess. You should be flexible to think more than just passive moves. To be precise, you have to see if you can attack your opponent in return - make a counter attack! https://www.youtube.com/embed/-dEF0BiQOEw 1250 2020-01-31T19:20:04+00:00 https://chessterra.com/it-hurts-to-miss-this-against-an-fm-road-to-gm-game-130/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/IARrIN1xjQ4.jpg It hurts to miss this against an FM | Road to GM, Game 130 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): 2019 Zadar Open, Rd. 8, 12/20/2019, Bo. 15, S.

The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met. https://www.youtube.com/embed/PDFaBRR3W3w 938 2020-01-31T21:14:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/sometimes-you-gotta-win-ugly-the-3-qe6-scandinavian/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/dMoEZZT1-Yc.jpg Sometimes You Gotta Win Ugly || The 3… Qe6+ Scandinavian??

It has been played by top masters since the 19th century, and it will never lose popularity due to its solidity, flexibility, and the amount of different options it gives to black. Today I covered the Classical or the Orthodox Variation.

The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bc3o4UBECAI 926 2020-01-28T20:03:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/lifes-easy-with-opening-prep-chess-and-psychology-im-dorsa-derakhshani/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/GFGFrJICW6k.jpg Life’s Easy with Opening Prep! | Chess and Psychology – IM Dorsa Derakhshani International Master Dorsa Derakhshani offers insights into her psychological preparation for chess combat over the board.

It has been played by top masters since the 19th century, and it will never lose popularity due to its solidity, flexibility, and the amount of different options it gives to black. In this video I have covered the Exchange Variation, a somewhat counter intuitive opening choice for white that seemingly solves black’s main strategic issue early on. https://www.youtube.com/embed/G2F8inwFmk0 1377 2020-01-28T14:05:00+00:00 https://chessterra.com/hanging-pawns-chess-merch-suggest-a-design/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/QnOByGHYDSE.jpg Hanging Pawns Chess Merch!

Pattern Recognition in chess helps you to easily grasp the essence of a position on the board and find the most promising continuation. This course teaches you the most important forms you need to know in order to develop and mobilize your pieces, handle your pawns in strength positions, put pressure on your enemy, attack the enemy king, and make constant sacrifices to gain the initiative. https://www.youtube.com/embed/_B0Tss4rJ74 787 2020-01-24T17:49:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/alatortsev-variation-queens-gambit-declined-theory/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/fYcpOngiS2A.jpg Alatortsev Variation – Queen’s Gambit Declined Theory 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" The Queen’s Gambit Declined is the most popular way to fight the attempt by white to give up (gambit) his c4 pawn. It has been played by top masters since the 19th century, and it will never lose popularity due to its solidity, flexibility, and the amount of different options it gives to black. In this video I have covered the Alatortsev Variation, also known as the Charousek or the Petrosian Variation, depending on where you look. It is an extremely flexible and transpositional opening system for black which can enter several main line defenses in the QGD, such as the Tartakower, but it has independent lines as well. It starts with 3. Be7, preparing to castle as soon as possible, and making the pin with Bg5 less effective in advance. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fYcpOngiS2A 1659 2020-01-24T11:41:41+00:00 https://chessterra.com/clash-of-generations-firouzja-vs-anand-tata-steel-masters-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/bCdygQzvwWs.jpg Clash of Generations || Firouzja vs Anand || Tata Steel Masters (2020) Alireza Firouzja vs Viswanathan Anand Tata Steel Masters (2020), Wijk aan Zee NED, rd 11, Jan-23 Nimzo-Indian, Kmoch variation (E20) 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3.

It has been played by top masters since the 19th century, and it will never lose popularity due to its solidity, flexibility, and the amount of different options it gives to black. The Queen's Gambit Declined starts after the moves 1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6. It branches out to numerous theoretical variations. We are going to be going over 11 most important variations (some may even be called separate openings): https://www.youtube.com/embed/CMy65JeSShw 1143 2020-01-23T09:52:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/attacking-without-sacrificing-carlsen-vs-kovalev-tata-steel-masters-2020/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/CWkhRH0bk5E.jpg Attacking Without Sacrificing || Carlsen vs Kovalev || Tata Steel Masters (2020) Magnus Carlsen vs Vladislav Kovalev Tata Steel Masters (2020), Wijk aan Zee NED, rd 10, Jan-22 Queen's Gambit Declined, Neo-orthodox variation (D55) 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3.

It's their game played at the Tata Steel Masters chess tournament in the year 2018. Carlsen was playing White and Yifan was playing Black, the queens were exchanged early in the game, and both players didn't castle their kings. At one point, they had a pair of rooks and a pair of minor pieces, each. That's when Carlsen sacrificed his rook for Yifan's bishop - an exchange sacrifice! That sacrifice helped him get the initiative and a strong passed pawn. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uVjE7hEL0jQ 1219 2020-01-21T18:41:38+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-kings-indian-is-very-dangerous-road-to-gm-game-128/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/EOJmEsANwxI.jpg The King’s Indian is very dangerous. | Road to GM, Game 128 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Recently I’ve started writing for a chess website called Pawn Break.

The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met. https://www.youtube.com/embed/k67gXoXnzzI 887 2020-01-20T19:04:20+00:00 https://chessterra.com/reigning-croatian-champion-marin-bosiocic-vs-filip-martic-my-nephew/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/7_IzXUKbIqY.jpg Reigning Croatian Champion Marin Bosiočić vs Filip Martić (my nephew) Filip's Father Goran vs Kasparov Marin Bosiočić vs Filip Martić Simultaneous Exhibition (2020), Sesvete, Croatia. 20-1-2020 1.

His Opponent Gives Queen Odds According to the 3rd World Chess Champion Jose Raul Capablanca, he learned the rules of the game at the age of 4 by watching his father play with friends, pointed out an illegal move by his father, and then beat him! History didn't save that game but there is a game played by Capablanca at age 4 which is considered to be his first surviving game (September 17, 1893)! Capablanca played it against Ramon Iglesias, who played without a Queen (odds game).

Less experienced players often think exchanging means to swap pieces of equal value and fail to take strategic factors into account. Of course, you have to keep the material balance in mind but it is crucial to realize how exchanges affect the position. https://www.youtube.com/embed/ro02HuyiQgM 1544 2020-01-17T17:52:54+00:00 https://chessterra.com/1971-candidates-tournament-bobby-fischer-vs-petrosian-game-5/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/BFZtajhTC5U.jpg 1971 Candidates Tournament: Bobby Fischer vs Petrosian Game 5 For more chess goodness check out https://www.youtube.com/embed/BFZtajhTC5U 707 2020-01-17T14:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/a-long-way-to-go-road-to-gm-game-127/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Wqsu4EVLzX0.jpg A long way to go. | Road to GM, Game 127 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> 2019 Zadar Open, Rd. 5, 12/18/2019, Bo. 25, N.

The game started with Inarkiev playing the Sicilian Defense 1...c5 and Carlsen responding with Mengarini Variation which follows 2.a3 and 3.b4. Carlsen was playing quite aggressively since the opening stage and both players didn't even castle their kings. It was at move 27 when Carlsen played Rxb7+ (Inarkiev's king was at b6), and Inarkiev played the illegal 27...Ne3+ (Carlsen's king was c2). Carlsen might have won instantly by claiming the illegal move, but instead he instinctively moved his king out of danger with 28.Kd3. https://www.youtube.com/embed/HVQvClUQwEQ 1050 2020-01-14T19:47:24+00:00 https://chessterra.com/1971-candidates-tournament-petrosian-vs-bobby-fischer-game-4/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/BO_VXXSM8BA.jpg 1971 Candidates Tournament: Petrosian vs Bobby Fischer Game 4 For more tournament goodness head over to https://www.youtube.com/embed/BO_VXXSM8BA 405 2020-01-14T14:00:02+00:00 https://chessterra.com/and-so-it-begins-road-to-gm-game-124/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/fJAw25iKgO4.jpg And so it begins… | Road to GM, Game 124 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" This is my round 2 game from Zadar Open. I faced a higher rated opponent at start of day two, and the outcome of this game would decide whether I would have a good or bad tournament. It’s always like that in Swiss tournaments. If you start well, you get paired up. And vice-versa. The game was very interesting positionally and strategically. Both me and my opponent fought in a relatively equal and boring queenless middlegame. We reached an equal knight endgame. And then my stupidity, which knows no limits at times, forced me to make an irrational decision. Instead of repeating the position and taking a draw, I pushed for a win. https://www.youtube.com/embed/fJAw25iKgO4 1612 2020-01-13T12:19:16+00:00 https://chessterra.com/what-a-dirty-swindle-road-to-gm-game-125/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/uoapriWMN1w.jpg What a dirty swindle… | Road to GM, Game 125 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" This is my round 3 game from Zadar Open. I faced a lower rated opponent in the Sveshnikov Sicilian. He misplayed the opening and was in trouble very soon. But. I played such a horrible tactical blunder that I was immediately lost after it. And it was such a simple reason for the move not working. I don’t know what to blame for such temporary blindness. https://www.youtube.com/embed/uoapriWMN1w 1043 2020-01-14T10:30:22+00:00 https://chessterra.com/is-there-a-defense-against-this-piece-sacrifice-road-to-gm-game-126/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/N5oacw5bgMY.jpg Is there a defense against this piece sacrifice? | Road to GM, Game 126 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" This game was really hard to cope with psychologically. Not because I lost, but because I didn’t have the courage to follow my instinct and play what I believed was the best move. I couldn’t calculate the piece sacrifice perfectly. So what?!

This is the story of the birth of modern chess - when the possibilities of chess as an art, a science and a sport all converged. The point of convergence was a young boy from Louisiana named Paul Morphy. At a time when America was seen as a backwoods nation with little cultural history and even less intellectual impetus, at a time when chess was considered the exclusive property of a few European countries, at a time when the game was played successfully by a handful of men wizened by years, Paul Morphy, in the brief span of 19 months and with seemingly little effort, defeated conclusively every player he met. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EV-bSA0RHGI 950 2020-01-15T19:59:38+00:00 https://chessterra.com/will-fm-max-the-axe-hack-fm-marks-czech-benoni-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/qvj6M57k7aA.jpg Will FM Max The Axe Hack FM Mark's Czech Benoni Defense?

I faced an FM in the Queen’s Indian Defense. This is one of the most useful games I have ever played because it taught me a lot during analysis afterwards. I spent several hours going over it during several sessions. My conclusion is that I made three mistakes, two which could have been corrected (and were, mostly), and one strategic mistake which was just terminal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/1XnFtv3bwPY 1139 2020-01-10T10:24:26+00:00 https://chessterra.com/lichess-team-battle-join-us-for-some-fun-and-games-lichess-org/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/oqEhtLK0aK0.jpg lichess Team Battle – Join us for some fun and games – lichess.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mailbox where you can send stuff: p.s. this is not my home address :) Contact me: agadmatormanga@gmail.com or agadmator@gmail.com If you realllly enjoy my content, you're welcome to support me and my channel with a small donation via PayPal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/oqEhtLK0aK0 9177 2020-01-09T22:24:46+00:00 https://chessterra.com/pawns-are-the-soul-of-chess-ju-wenjun-vs-goryachkina-womens-world-championship-game-4/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Ie-kBwgB7Ck.jpg Pawns Are The Soul of Chess || Ju Wenjun vs Goryachkina || Women’s World Championship GAME 4 Ju Wenjun vs Aleksandra Goryachkina Ju - Goryachkina Women's World Championship (2020), Shanghai CHN, rd 4, Jan-09 Slav Defense: Soultanbeieff Variation (D16) 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3.

Beginning in the late 1960s, this opening idea was promoted by Hungarian-American grandmaster Pal Benko, who provided many new suggestions and published his book "The Benko Gambit" in 1974. The name Benko Gambit stuck and is particularly used in English-speaking countries. https://www.youtube.com/embed/6VoeKiq-C3Q 1370 2020-01-04T18:25:15+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bullet-chess-battle-gm-daniel-naroditsky-vs-gm-andrew-tang/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/gnpUCxKHx-c.jpg Bullet Chess Battle GM Daniel Naroditsky vs GM Andrew Tang From Arena Kings July 22, 2019.

Nevertheless, it is equally important to consider our opponent’s plans as well and, most importantly, prevent them if they are dangerous for you. https://www.youtube.com/embed/A1lREB7zVkY 1029 2020-01-01T18:09:10+00:00 https://chessterra.com/3-chess-engines-to-help-improve-your-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/jmr964mze4Y.jpg 3 Chess Engines to Help Improve Your Game 3. and rel="nofollow"> https://www.youtube.com/embed/jmr964mze4Y 931 2020-01-01T19:27:07+00:00 https://chessterra.com/this-games-like-walking-a-tightrope-50-stories-high-carlini-vs-kaiski/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/UkPdg90db8.jpg This Game's Like Walking a Tightrope – 50 Stories High!

I played an opponent rated 2180, 250 points higher than me. And this is the first time I experienced how true is the principle of having to have two weaknesses to exploit in order to win. That means that one weakness in your opponent’s position usually won’t be enough to give you a winning edge. In this game that was very much true. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qHZDbawFnOs 1039 2019-12-29T11:40:16+00:00 https://chessterra.com/coward-road-to-gm-games-117-118/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/cTwFdkZj-XI.jpg Coward | Road to GM, Games 117, 118 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> 2019 Zagreb Open, Rd. 4, 12/9/2019, Bo. 39, S.

Happy holidays! | Road to GM, Game 115 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): <a href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Sorry for not being active for the last two weeks. I have played two tournaments in a row, Zagreb and Zadar Open, 18 games total. I wanted to focus on my play and my preparation. I had planned to record daily at first, but have decided against that eventually. I think it did help me play better chess. This is the round two game from Zagreb. I faced a lower rated opponent in the QGD.

The Winawer variation following the moves 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 is named after Szymon Winawer and pioneered by Aron Nimzowitsch and Mikhail Botvinnik, is one of the main systems in the French Defense. In this variation, Black is tries to immediately attack the White's knight on c3, therefore putting more pressure on the e4-pawn, trying to force White either to play 4.exd5 or 4.e5. In the latter case, White will fix the pawns in the center which will allow Black to counter-attack with 4...c5.

It is a very solid opening for Black and so usually the White players are annoyed with this opening. In this video, RCA guest coach IM Asaf Givon will present to you an opening repertoire on this opening for White. He recommends to play 3.Bd3 instead of the mainlines 3.e5 or 3.Nc3 or 3.Nd2.

What are Short-term Advantages? Short-term advantages are those that you can exploit quickly in a game – like a quick attack, getting initiative, having more development that the opponent in the opening stage. These advantages don’t last for a long time because your opponent would have chances to equalize them. For instance, your opponent can also develop his pieces in the opening stage and then it will be equal. https://www.youtube.com/embed/b2R0cmftuyA 1695 2019-12-02T18:10:20+00:00 https://chessterra.com/shocking-whites-first-17-moves-are-all-pawn-moves/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/EUiggcJHGVg.jpg SHOCKING: White’s First 17 Moves Are All Pawn Moves! 📥 Download the PGN of the games shown from this blog-post - We’re all taught about the basic chess opening principles that we have to move our (central) pawns, develop the knights, and then the bishop, and then castle the king, and so on. On the contrary, there are players who don’t follow those principles and play some crazy opening moves, and they end up losing usually. But, in this video you will see a game which was won in this scenario. https://www.youtube.com/embed/EUiggcJHGVg 931 2019-12-09T14:11:47+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-deadly-maroczy-bind-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/5_PKmlesn94.jpg The Deadly Maroczy Bind | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played a training game as part of my prep for the upcoming tournaments.

When to use what?”. Sadly most chess players don’t know the answer to this question and hence struggle to make progress. Tactics comes into play whenever you have to calculate specific variations/lines to gain material or checkmate your opponent (mostly called as tactical combinations). Strategy, on the other hand, also referred to as the strategic or positional play, is more about the general understanding of the game and coming up with plans to improve your pieces. https://www.youtube.com/embed/Myr2anByzYM 1313 2019-11-29T20:09:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/closed-sicilian-chess-opening/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/5lqauJ7dIkc.jpg Closed Sicilian – Chess Opening Th Closed Sicilian starts out with 1. e4 c5 2.

If you want to take your opponents out of all their prep in the Sicilian than just play the Closed Sicilian. https://www.youtube.com/embed/5lqauJ7dIkc 739 2019-11-29T21:53:58+00:00 https://chessterra.com/help-me-mr-dvoretsky-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/NagB9g2kCO4.jpg Help me Mr. Dvoretsky | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played an immensely useful training game, both because of the opening, and because of the endgame.

For an introduction to the opening, watch this video on the basics: Its name has come from the Hebrew term “Ben Oni”, meaning son of sorrow, which depicts the defense perfectly. It can lead to quick, interesting wins, but it can also horribly backfire and you could get punished very quickly. https://www.youtube.com/embed/4dCFFzIZQ6k 1437 2019-11-28T11:43:19+00:00 https://chessterra.com/alphazero-vs-alphazero-the-perfect-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/mOqmLYlFdBo.jpg AlphaZero vs AlphaZero || THE PERFECT GAME Check out the original article here Vote on the next saga here 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3.

Dan Heisman has estimated that chess is 2/3 skills and abilities and 1/3 knowledge. 1/3 is still a pretty big chunk. If you get someone who has a lot of skills and abilities and they are developing really well and they never develop any knowledge, they are going to compete against strong players and grandmasters. https://www.youtube.com/embed/lUngaegwOFk 1490 2019-11-22T17:16:24+00:00 https://chessterra.com/slav-defense-theory-modern-variation/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/9OWzoHB1fqo.jpg Slav Defense Theory: Modern Variation 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" For an introduction to the opening, watch this video on the basics: The Modern Slav is a very annoying sideline white could go for which can, if you are unprepared, mean trouble very early on. The setup is characterized by the queen aggressively placed on b3, and the kingside bishop fianchettoed on g2, which means automatic pressure on the long diagonal, especially b7 and c6. Black has to be careful against it, and a single mistake could mean a defeat. https://www.youtube.com/embed/9OWzoHB1fqo 1088 2019-11-22T17:06:48+00:00 https://chessterra.com/introduction-to-the-benoni-defense/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/x0TDJK973ms-3.jpg Introduction to the Benoni Defense 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" The Benoni is one of the most popular, most interesting, most aggressive, and, at the same time, riskiest defenses black could choose to play against d4.

Unlike most other variations black can choose from, in the Schlechter the bishop is fianchettoed. That in itself is quite rare in Slav like setups. That means that the issue of the c8 bishop can be resolved in a much easier manner (not that it is often), but by playing g6, Bg7, black keeps his e pawn on e7, thus not blocking in the c8 bishop. He is able to do that because the king can castle without it, due to the f8 bishop going to g7. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pkRWYIu20pk 1022 2019-11-21T09:50:21+00:00 https://chessterra.com/kasparov-slays-the-sicilian-dragon-3-rook-sacrifices-in-one-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/cM2y5sRHZd4.jpg Kasparov Slays The Sicilian Dragon! 3 Rook Sacrifices In One Game 13th World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov plays a brilliant attacking game where he slays the Sicilian Dragon by going for a double rook sacrifice!

In this video lesson, RCA guest coach IM Asaf Givon will teach you about the variation from this opening, the Four Knights variation. The Sicilian Four Knights comes after the following moves: 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 e6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 Throughout his chess career, IM Asaf Givon always considered the Four Knights Sicilian to be an opening variation for lazy people, who don't have much time to study theory or memorize a lot of moves. https://www.youtube.com/embed/0AauLjRNuKs 1180 2019-11-20T19:05:15+00:00 https://chessterra.com/is-there-a-book-that-can-help-me-stop-doing-this-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/FuGJfOuAI70.jpg Is there a book that can help me stop doing this? | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played a game in the Hungarian Defense. It all went perfectly well, and I had a very pleasant position out of the opening. I played well strategically and exploited his weak backward “Benoni” pawn on d6. Eventually he pushed through with d5 at a wrong moment and lost his c5 pawn. I was now a pawn up and my position was superior. https://www.youtube.com/embed/FuGJfOuAI70 2791 2019-11-19T11:58:25+00:00 https://chessterra.com/slav-defense-theory-quiet-variation/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/nT0Fy5vbA9M.jpg Slav Defense Theory: Quiet Variation 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" For an introduction to the opening, watch this video on the basics: The Quiet Slav is a very handy way for white to enter a position which is relatively easy to play and which avoids main line, sharp variations, which could come after the Semi Slav, or some Slav move orders. The move e3, which signifies the opening, may seem counter intuitive and simply weak, but in reality it’s not that easy to exploit the fact that white has hemmed in his c1 bishop behind its pawn chain. https://www.youtube.com/embed/nT0Fy5vbA9M 1468 2019-11-20T08:24:56+00:00 https://chessterra.com/dual-analysis-with-a-fide-master-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/J5kgv6IhGc8.jpg Dual analysis with a Fide Master | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" My friend Milan and I analyzed our third game in the 10-game match we started a month ago.

The film centres on a mentally tormented chess grandmaster and the young woman he meets while competing at a world-class tournament in Italy. The screenplay was based on the novel The Defense (or The Luzhin Defense) by Vladimir Nabokov. Nabokov based The Defense on the life of the German chess master Curt von Bardeleben, who seemingly committed suicide in the year 1924. https://www.youtube.com/embed/qyd6ffKWrh0 550 2019-11-15T20:03:36+00:00 https://chessterra.com/fighting-the-accelerated-dragon-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/rOyksjOEKc0.jpg Fighting the Accelerated Dragon | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played a training game in a setup I know quite well and which I have played numerous times, both online and in In rated otb tournament games – the Accelerated Dragon vs the Maroczy Bind (me being on the white side). The setup with e4 and c4 for white, trying to put the breaks on d5 is, in my opinion, the best way for white to fight for an opening advantage against dragon setups in the Sicilian. My opponent went for a plan I’ve never seen before: early exchange of knights on d4, and immediate pressure on c4 with Be6 and Rc8. I managed to defend against it and later on gained the initiative, but I learned a valuable lesson and saw a new, (for me), and very dangerous setup black could use against me. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rOyksjOEKc0 2015 2019-11-17T12:38:31+00:00 https://chessterra.com/what-a-patzer-training-game/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/zLVwUfhc8bY.jpg What a Patzer… | Training Game 😎 Become a Patron (extra daily content): href=" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" Today I played a training game against the Exchange Variation of the Caro-Kann. And my opponent managed to play 4 imprecise moves in the first 6 moves. I was better straight out of the opening. I built on my advantage and didn’t have too much trouble controlling his passive pieces and the whole board. I started getting into trouble while we were in the most complicated stage of the middlegame. All my pieces were better and I had no weaknesses (he had 2), but I had a hard time finding a plan with little time on the clock and in such a complex position. https://www.youtube.com/embed/zLVwUfhc8bY 3567 2019-11-18T11:53:15+00:00 https://chessterra.com/bobby-fischer-stops-opponents-attack-with-a-queen-sacrifice/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/viaSGzZBDzo.jpg Bobby Fischer Stops Opponent's Attack With A Queen Sacrifice Bobby Fischer destroys Sicilian defense in just 22 moves in a game vs Mongolian chess champion Sharav Purevzhav!

There are many instructional moments in this game out of a Slav Defense, Quiet (Slow) variation. In it, white doesn't deploy the bad bishop outside the pawn chain, whereas black does. Eventually KomodoMCTS is successful in exchanging the bad bishop for white's good bishop. In the process, white achieves a slight queenside space advantage, and a black pawn to bite at on g6. What follows as white pursues a kingside attack is a star idea that I have only ever previously seen surface with a knight taking center stage. https://www.youtube.com/embed/pgYD5FL6ad0 1278 2019-11-18T10:10:03+00:00 https://chessterra.com/you-will-not-believe-this-game-saric-vs-suleymanli-european-club-cup-2019/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/vaJ2wj3azyw.jpg You Will Not Believe This Game || Šarić vs Suleymanli || European Club Cup (2019) Download agadmator chess clock for iOS here https://www.youtube.com/embed/vaJ2wj3azyw 1237 2019-11-16T11:15:31+00:00 https://chessterra.com/the-timeless-magician-tal-vs-miller-thank-you-for-500000-subscribers/ https://chessterra.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/5O_dNtgEiTQ.jpg The Timeless Magician || Tal vs Miller || Thank You For 500000 Subscribers!
