The Owens Defense Pt 3

In this third video you`ll see what happens when white goes for the "queen`s pawn opening" approach, which is what 1-d4-2-c4 players such as myself would usually try against the owens. You`ll surely have fun with the Poli-Gambit as it looks like no other opening or variation that i ever knew of. Enjoy!

The Owens Defense Part 2

มุมมอง 9422 ปีที่แล้ว

Part two of the Owens and here we go: The supposed refutations for white that in reality are no reason at all to abandon this nice opening. Just avoid some known traps and do so by playing natural Owen defense-like moves and you´ll have nothing to fear. I give you several options to go for anyway as i like more than one of them myself, enjoy! 00:00 Intro 00:26 Summary 1:11 e4-d4-Bd3-Nf3 1:26 4-...

Finally! i wanted to show my survey on this opening a long time ago but not before putting the whole thing together, including the known controversial lines that have convinced a lot of people not to use the owens defense ever again. Part one covers the basics, part 2 will take on the so-called refutations and part 3 the lesser known lines for both sides. Enjoy! 00:00 Intro 00:37 Summary of all...

I´ve been getting a lot of this 2-...c5!? line against my QG on the internet lately, i and the truth is i had forgotten about it´s existence even when i had a few games on it already.

A very curious tactical theme appeared in one of my games and i decided to show it as i think it´ll be fun.

In this second part of this defense, i`ll focus on white preventing our ...b5 with a4 and what we could play against that. This is very importante if you`ll play this, as white players use this often instead of letting us expand at will.

Against this Benko Gambit i´ve tried several variations, and this 4-Qc2 was suggested to me by an IM that used to train me. I´ve played it often since, with solid positions, avoiding the regular Benko gimmicks and over all having very happy results. i hope it´ll be useful for you, enjoy! 00:00 Intro 02:40 4-Qc2!? 04:31 5-...d6, Kempinski-Balk 07:36 5-...e6 Mamedyarov-Nguyen Here´s a game i play...

In this first video on the Bogo i present you the main plan black uses in all levels, from club player to GM. And against that, you´ll see my usual procedure of not playing Catalan nor going Be2 but using Bd3 and try to attack black´s king ASAP, focusing on getting opposite castles to be able to throw everything against the black king´s face.

Finally one with a somewhat argentinian name! :) nah but, for real, i´ve seen this interesting opening shown on youtube videos, but normally from the black side, so i decided to show the main line for white. And the fact that there is one is interesting in itself for me, as the best players from the white side showed respect for this opening and recognized that a main system against it had to b...

Queen´s Gambit Accepted and Sustained!

มุมมอง 2152 ปีที่แล้ว

Accepting the queen´s gambit is super normal, but sustaining that extra pawn afterwards with black is almost an elephant in the room, i couldn´t find videos on that subject. People seem to assume that white would always get a big advantage, but things are not so simple so here´s my take on the subject.
