The Explosive Potential of Nc3-d5 in the Open Sicilian | Climbing the Rating Ladder vs. 1946
Clear and concise instruction, thanks a lot.
time wins are twice as good as regular wins
great video as usual! Is there a reason why the squares of the opponent's piece which moved last are no longer highlated? Made it sometimes harder to follow the game if one didn't watch for a second and wondered which move the opponent actually made...
Is there anyone in 2024
Nxe4!! “Yep, the Chess com evaluation is fine guys..” 😂😂😂
a shoutout is great but we need another colab with eric rosen. maybe one rapid game and then jump on zoom and analyse together.
Thank you, John, for hours on hours of effective, eye-level chess ed. Wish I could be your student one day 🙏 Love from Israel ❤
Awesome content! As a relative beginner, I've been binging your videos and have improved my game dramatically! I've checked out a few other UA-camrs as well but the calm, straightforward way you explain your thinking process makes yours so much easier to follow.
Fans content. Please post more Title Tuesday’s 😅
Hey! Hope all is well. Hmmm - Bd3 - very odd stuff. Everything just drifted out of position for white and you had a wadpile of otions. Light entertainment, with thanks!
If i had to guess white just picked up that variation and is still learning it, and as John said they had ideas of how that variation gets played but that sure wasn't the position for it. And stockfish be stockfishing in the middle game sure is too harsh, it's basically just saying learn more theory because that wasn't the plan.
it’s actually really sad that they use skype because it literally died from Covid
It's terrible now, yes. Not sure how Microsoft messed that one up
Did a fist bump today to myself when I saw that Id have the BEST instructive chess content on youtube ready for viewing tonight. Even more timely is that I lost OTB with my dragon sicilian today. Im taking notes John! Thankful as always for the upload!
Much appreciated. Best wishes with your Sicilian Dragon practice, and good luck in your next OTB game!
Self horn tooting is completely acceptable here, I think!
Good video John thanks for all you’ve done
Hey John! This is Guys!
Timestamps for the best moments, please!
The OG with another illustrative effort!
Thanks John, you continue to produce quality content.
Hey John, I'm pretty sure that Game Review gets more critical the higher your rating is, so something that's marked as an "excellent" or "good" move for me could be marked as an inaccuracy or even a mistake for you. Love the videos!
I always enjoy your videos, John. They are very informative and you are a class act.
Thanks so much! 🙏
It;s been a little while since your last UA-cam video...instructional game as always! Take care!
Hey John, got into your content in my first year of university during the pandemic. I just graduated last Tuesday and I'm still a fan. Keep up the good work!
Hey Henry, I remember your username! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your graduation, and glad you've remained active in chess! Thanks for following my channel.
V. Anon played Bd3 I have heard.
These moves by white are so random!
John thank you for another educational and entertaining video. I love watching them and using them in my games. Please never stop. I said this in the past but you are easily top 3 (IMO) chess content creator. It would be great if you could play online tournaments for entertainment purposes. You know like 3 hours tournaments 😊
Drop more content !
I shall try!

Hiya, John, really have enjoyed you, the professionalism and teaching you have been bringing for these multiple years, a genuine pleasure! 👏💯🎯
Thank you very much!
no one ever explains why they don’t take the opening pawns
Always a good day when John drops some new Content!
Thanks, west - cheers!
Hey John, this is squall.

Hey squall, this is guys
@@rajathjain6672 hey guys 😌
*Clearing throat* I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. FIRST!
John has come a long way ❤
I find it amazing that rpenquin still plays on ICC. Also, they are 75 years btw. Amazing.
What a warrior!
I like chess, and sometimes I come here to fall asleep to some good chess and your soothing commentary tbh. Thank you John!
Haha my pleasure! Thanks for watching (or listening :)).
Not only did you play so quickly, you played really accurately too! no huge blunders which is crazy...
Hey!! It's indeed a wonderful vedio. But can you or anyone suggest me a good book precisely for CHESS PIECE COORDINATION
Thanks for watching! "Coordination" is so fundamental to chess that I don't think many authors even think to isolate it as a concept. But funnily enough, I can recommend a book by Capablanca with the same name as my series here, "Chess Fundamentals."
Nice! Crushed him! And almost had both the 5+0s in the bag too.
Thanks for watching!
what happens if he predicts a premove and then captures a defended pawn lol
Good players read the manual, masters write it.
Thanks John !
Thanks for watching!
People in reddit always recommend you, so im here to watch the series. I didnt saw climbing the rank playlist, roughly when did you start with the series ?
They are very flattering - thanks for checking out my content! This is the Climbing the Rating Ladder playlist: ua-cam.com/video/U2huVf1l4UE/v-deo.html I started it way back in 2016, I believe. Let me know if you have any questions!
John is the host with the most! @ 11:55 Rd8 is not accurate because the white king will have to return to b8 to avoid the checks.
I usually just quit when it down to rook. so boring. hate when they queen trade too. so lame.
Best chess channel in youtube
Cheers!
Best chess channel on youtube.
Andras recently posted a video dunking on the Scandinavian and I like both your channels so I suggested you guys set up a dual commentary video or stream! Id love to see a match with your styles clashing.
Haha! We've played a dual commentary match before; check my channel!
