hey! Tanks for the video.
That’s a very exhaustive work that you’ve done!
Why the opening 1.e4 c6 2.e5 is bad? (if it’s bad??)
ok, I guess i figured it out!
…. d6 3.exd6 exd6 and the black have gained tempos.
great video, although it sound like u read this from something you typed or read.
another question: in the advance variation (1:10 in the video), your knight in e7 is blocking your bishop in f8: does it matter?
(maybe is it better to develop the black bishop first?)
Yeah, normally the knights are developed before the bishops. After the …c5 advance is achieved, the knight on e7 can move to c6 or g6, leaving room for the bishop to develop.
i dont understand the panov attack how can that be good for white?
How do you add the arrows?
You can put them in if you use the ChessBase/Fritz family of products. Just hold down the ALT key and right click to drag an arrow out.
Very helpful, thanks.
I love to play the Queen’s Gambit, thus I love to play the Panov variation.
i usually play an aggressive caro can with an advance of pawn to d4 then pawn to g4 then i develop the bishop and knights
