This baby bird needed this. Never knew about the catholic family fork at least not the technical term. Thank you for bringing in the modern chess engineering terminology.
Im Danish, and a fan! keen to follow your kings indian attack series, one of my favorite openings - but not alot of great content about it. Great game and analysis.
Update: I have been watching your channel. I am a novice (playing 8+ years, studying 1 year) around 1200 elo...I felt "stuck", started watching your stuff and today I won my first Chess Ultra 4-man (beat a 1600), beat couple peeps on chess.com and just had an overall fantastic chess day :) Ty for your tactical lessons and insights...You teach the why, not just the how.
@@ВиталяШерстневwell everyone moves at their own speed some people take more time than others and some are less motivated or dont have the time to get better
I always wondered why no-one has ever done a BOOK OF SYSTEMS. KI Attack, Colle-Zukertort, Scandi with Qa5 ... there are several examples where the early moves and plans can be almost automatic. So a book (or course) that largely ignores any theory, but shows how these 'system moves' develop into typical games, could form a welcome repertoire for busy people. A discussion of the typical games would demonstrate the typical middlegame plans, while pointing out any traps to avoid.
@@threethrushes Haha ... bless you for thinking I would be capable. There were one or two such articles by IM Andrew Martin in Chess Magazine in the 1990s, and I always thought that they might be extracts from a forthcoming book, but sadly not. You never know though, Simon might have something like this in the pipeline.
I like the term 'codependent' knights which describes their relationship, but 'superfluous' is also good. It captures another problem with their positioning.
IMO, the main problem with 15 minute online games is you can never be sure if someone is cheating on the other end. The 3 + 2 format does not eliminate that possibility, but it makes it a lot harder and most people at my level wouldn't bother. Great video, I really enjoyed this breakdown of how the King's Indian Attack works. The only time I attempted this system I was crushed, but I can see I did not have the correct foundation.
Hi Simon! Great content as always! You're the man! What about you playing only systems in the longer games? I would love to see you playing 1.b3. Fischer played it 5 times and won all the games, so perhaps you could show us that system too.
old video but still very actual. I really like your style of explanation. That is the reason why I have killer Dutch book and training and Iron English 😊 book and training. you are covering actually all my favourite openings. Going to check what you have for KIA 🙂. found it on gingergm page. great source from where I have Leningrad Dutch :) great work as always. I saw you recently as commentator for tournament ,where was Magnus. Good job there. correction, that was only chapter in killer french. it is somewhere else? more about Kia?
Nice explanation But talking too much I like you willam really get benefit from your long games I have a range 1560 With your videos study specially London system I reached 1900
The flow of this analysis was outstanding!
That’s probably because it was against a lower rated player so it was easier for him to play.
Catholic Family Fork
@@colleen9493 it’s easier for us to follow
Best chess video I have seen so far. Came to learn more about the KIA, but learned even more about ways to think about moves in general.
Hell yea!!!!! LONGER CHESS GAMES forever!!
13:55 Superfluous knights
Yes, horses stepping on each others hooves.
keep uploading ,
love the content
Love your videos. Please keep uploading. Thank you.
At 6:55 who else thought he was going to mouseslip with f5 losing his queen haahahahah

Please more of these. Thanks again
Pls do a lot of this long play! We love you Simon
Loving all these new videos lately :D
Awesome analysis. I am learning a lot. Thank you so much!
Great video, very instinctive..thanks GGM
Love the content!

What the hell, playing 8 years and still a bum 1200? Wow this is insane

Why don`t you do it?
As a London System player, I welcome more info on 1.d4 openings and middle-game plans.

I'm from Denmark and a regular follower :D "Klovn" is out as both a series of 7 seasons and as 3-4 films!
Loved this very nice
Had Black moved ...Kd8 into Nc6# the Knights act like a pair of Bishops controlling opposite-colored squares. Neat.
Dude you are my favorite chess streamer. I can’t stop laughing with your videos 🤣
Love this idea for a series! Looking forward to more 😁
Catholic family fork :-D now I learned something
Thank you Simon! You've made my day
27:00
😂 just ginger things
I think they call that - the knights are "communicating" -- love the videos Simon. Hoping I get to play you some day.
The term is "superfluous knights". I'm not sure who coined it. May have been John Watson.
I like the term 'codependent' knights which describes their relationship, but 'superfluous' is also good. It captures another problem with their positioning.
Simply the best streamer in my opinion :)
15:25 why was Nef3 not considered? It attacks the queen, defend the rook and guard the H2 square.
The knight will obstruct the rook on the F file.
But not really sure, maybe it's still good for white.
Love the work! Especially your chessable work, we truly appreciate what you do
Brilliant, will be practicing this. Entertaining as always.
I love this
Did you see the klovn movies yet?
Amazing go siomn❤️
Where’s the cowboy hat?

At 8.00 isn't e5 better - winning a piece?
I don't see the win of a piece. Black plays ...Bxg2+, white recaptures, and black either moves his f6 knight or takes on e5.
Klown 👍
do you still belive in the Jobava London system?
Amplify + Exemplify = Emplify
I'm danish - and I LOVE Clown! 😀
But I am a much much bigger fan of Bottom (Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmonson)

I prefer the mitchel and webb sketch shows over Peep Show. They are brilliant at sketch shows.
@lloyd99984 Does that mean those sketch shows, they "are the baddies?"
Catholic family fork!
Peep show is bloody good
Lmao that intro
for the longer games i dont think you should use the psycho cowboy username
sorry i meant account
hi first to see and love your videos
Simon, if you need a lower rated player to play hit me up lol
Nice explanation
But talking too much
I like you willam really get benefit from your long games
I have a range 1560
With your videos study specially London system I reached 1900
THIS IS GOLD
THANKS
