OnlineChessLessons.net Paul Morphy Vs Consultants (Count Isouard & Duke of Brunswick), Paris 1858 — Morphy, an absolute attacking monster, produces a legendary 17 move classic. This has got to be one of my favorite games of all time, as the New Orleans native literally introduces a new threat with every single move. He clearly demonstrates the 3 Basic Opening Principles 1. Control the center. 2. Develop your pieces. 3. Protect your king. An extremely impressive victory by the 21 year-old Paul Morphy! Note: The story about this game taking place in a theatre and how he played this game in a rushed way is probably an urban myth PGN: [Event "?"] [Site "?"] [Date "1858.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "Morphy"] [Black "Consultants"] [Result "1-0"] [ICCResult "Black checkmated"] [Opening "Philidor's defense"] [ECO "C41"] [NIC "KP.08"] 1. e4 e5 2.

www.OnlineChessLessons.net – (“Show More” for more info …) Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: www.twitter.com This video examines the game @olit3, (The owner of chesstweets) vs ChessTweets. This was played towards the beginning of the Chess Tweets experiment nearly a year ago. White chose an interesting opening (the Center Game?) involving an early development of the queen to a somewhat exposed square on e3. Opposite sides castling ensued, and white eagerly sacrificed a knight to open up the H-file to create faster attacking chances against the black king. Black accepted the sacrifice, but only after a few well-calculated intermediate moves. The Chess Tweets community coldly repelled black’s attack and successfully achieved a winning counter-attack.

www.OnlineChessLessons.net – (“Show More” for more info …) Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: www.twitter.com This video discusses a mid-game analysis of the on-going correspondence twitter game between OnlineChessLessons.Net (OCL) and the ChessTweets community. We played an off-beat variation as white against the Najdorf involving Be2 and a very early g4. Black (ChessTweets) responded with an early 0-0 and allowed white to gain space with g5. In this video, I discuss some of my preliminary research (portrayed in other videos on the OnlineChessLessons.Net Youtube Channel on this specific line against the Sicilian) that suggest impeding white’s early gain of space with g5 by the preventive move h6. The current game has headed in an interesting direction and I’ll enjoy to see how plays out.

www.OnlineChessLessons.NET – Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter: www.twitter.com This game between Alexei Shirov and Loek Van Wely from Tilburg (1997) reflects a sideline that has been rarely employed by white against the Najdorf version of the Sicilian Defense. This sideline is characterized by an early be2, g4, and f4. It is extremely aggressive and appears that it has not been thoroughly analyzed or test to date. This game clearly illustrates Shirov’s aggressive and resourceful style.

This DVD is for players who are absolutely serious about playing the Najdorf Sicilian; casual players need not apply. The DVD box for How to Play the Najdorf Vol.1 says that it contains two and a half hours of “first class private tuition”; the disk does indeed contain high-level instruction suitable for stronger club players and titled players alike. The instruction is subdivided into eight sections: an introduction, early deviations, two sections on White’s 6.Bg5, one on the Gothenburg Variation, and four sections on the Poisoned Pawn Variation. While Kasparov’s tutorials do concentrate on the ideas within each variation, there is also some memorization required and it would be helpful for the viewer to have some prior Najdorf experience. For advanced players, Kasparov’s How to Play the Najdorf Vol.1 will be a goldmine of ideas and an excellent glimpse into the analytical mind of a chess champion.
