Chess Opening: Grand Prix Attack with 5.a3 [Part 2/2]
This is a followup to my first video on this variation, 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 g6 4.Nf3 Bg7 5.a3!? I decided to make a second video on the spur of the moment, it is not my best video in terms of organization & coherency. Hope you are able to get some ideas from this… you should probably study some of these lines on your own as I left a lot of ends loose (and appear to contradict myself a couple times I notice) Anyway I haven’t been feeling well lately, I know this is not my best, please enjoy anyway. Again refer to Goeller’s article: www.kenilworthchessclub.org

Thank you! I can’t find anything good that shows the Grand Prix. It is either black playing stupidly or not giving white her full potential.
Glad to see you’re back on the ‘Tube. Hope to see some more chess videos in the near future, keep up the great stuff.
GOOD! I suggest u host a open source project on google and get chess and programming fans contributing to ur rpg games as well.
Against 6.d4 instead of 6.b4!? (06:26)) why don’t Black consider 6…Nxd4 instead? It seems to make x.Nb5 more difficult, and if Knights are traded on d4 then Black can then use …Qb6 to hold the d4 pawn properly?
Surely I must’ve missed something?
so this 7..d5 line against the b4 plan…i really dont understand what can be bad about 8 Nb5. Im happy to just land a check on black to prevent castling and i think that injures his position in a very long term way, being hard to connect rooks, danger of opening position, etc. I just cant belive that its not progress for white. So it almost seems to force 8…Bf8 imo and thats a small victory, making the bishop leave that strong diagonal that black invested 3 moves to occupy
@ongyj 6…Nxd4 7.Nxd4 cxd4 (7…Bxd4 8.Nb5 gives white a clear advantage) 8.Nb5 is a line Goeller discusses. I forgot what he says about …Qb6 but 9.e5 looks reasonable.
@idlenessss It’s not always that great to get a N to d6. First of all the center is closed, so castling is not that important for Black anyway. Also, as White has a pawn wedge into e5 it could be argued g7 is no longer the best square for the bishop.
this was insightful. thanks, and i enjoy how you analyze, ie, it seems you have turned off the mouse casue i cant see it? if so how to do this? also the slower moving speed of the pieces, along with the nice smoothness of arrows created a calm and enjoyable experience to watch, myabe it was the green,
@nomindchess Thanks, I was trying some new things presentation-wise in these videos. I don’t usually have the piece animation speed this slow.
Youtube would be 0 without youtubers like GCB. I wonder if there’s a way to get more minutes per video, maybe a subscribers/views target? I don’t know how it works
I believe “partners” can upload longer videos but you have to put banner ads on. Not sure.
Thanks for the video. I like your thoughts on all of this.
excellent video – i like to play the grand prix against my friend and i always thought the goal of Nd6+ seemed good for white. but now i know otherwise. very good explanation of the weak white center. great job!!
@jeffhowison d6 is a good square for the N when its support isn’t crumbling away… for instance in the Classical French
excellent video g.c.b.
your effort is very much appreciated…
What GUI do you use?
