you can play the dutch agenst 1. D4 1. Nf3 and C4 so it`s a verry good openng if you dont want to learn many openings and lines for defending ageinst these moves. But personly I like
to play the dutch “Leningrad system” because it`s so sharp and it can be verry dangerus for white if he dont know it good enough.
I know this is supposed to be about chess….but the opening music to these videos makes me giggle. It sounds like a worship song or something
Keep up the vids, I’m learning alot!
Can never have too much worship music
the Stonewall dutch isn`t too good against 1.Nf3 and 1.c4 due to lines where white plays the pawn to d3(rather than d4 ) and then plays e4 eventually.
Leningrad system and stonewall have different ideas so as black after e4 a very good idea in leningrad system is to play f4 Nh5 so f4 is a good reply.
or just let you take on f5 and re take with the bishop on c8 because you have played g6 and Bg7 and 0-0 so that will give black good play, so i dont see any problem in d3…. just a passive move
lmao
What if white plays 1.d4/f5 2.d5
then 2. Nf6 …i guess?
i mean 2. … Nf6
Maybe you are a good player, but your analysis are too simple.
At least try reading something about the opening move before trying to say some obvious things.
Hey, what’s the weaken of the french defense, just so i know what to watch out for.
@thechesswebsite Do you personally play chess at the club level? How long have you been playing, and for what organization and what not. I recently got a USCF membership, and played my first rated game. I won, yay! I still need 24 games to get a solid rating though. I’m still unrated. –Do you have a chess master you specifically study? I always study Anatoly Karpov.
what’s the song at the oppening?
This song makes me wanna do harm to others…hahaa
Well said, I really like that one
God this is all I play against d4…
thanx enjoy listening to your videos,was playing very badly against D4,am happy to say along with your videos am getting better… need to get to the heart of the game in what to do and look for in the middle game…that would be very helpful.
@bradominus Bg5 kinda puts a wrench in the wheels though. It leads to uncharacteristic Dutch positions. Sort of like the Panov-Botvinnik against the Caro-Kann. It leaves the position roughly equal with White having good pressure and Black gets a position he is not familiar with…
I play the Stonewall but I transpose via d5-c6-e6-f5 to avoid the anti-Dutch lines and to confuse White going from a Queen pawn, to a Semi-Slav, to a Slav, to the Stonewall Dutch.
Problem…I can’t tell if you’re playing this as a black defense or white’s answer to it. I’ve been following your openings and defenses all day, and your approach has been black defenses and white openings. please tell me what I’m missing.
Which program did you used for this video?
@jimbos22 aquariam from chessok and chesscentral
Great video love all the vids so far hey do u no anything about larsens defense
Why would white play such an awful opening? He gave up all of his tempo after black did f5. Just seems like a really silly game of chess.
why can’t i find any video’s on the Leningrad
