Hello Kev, Thank You For Your Tube Contributions My Game has improved so much from your Tutorials. Big Shout of THANX from Liverpool U K !Please KEEP UP the good work! Many Thanks Steve
Thanks Kevin! I'd love to watch a video on the Sicilian Dragadorf, if possible, and how to play against the Morra Gambit :) Thanks for the videos! Cheers
That would take days to make. Just learn a way to defeat the Sicilian, learn how to beat your system against the Sicilian. Then find one or two variations you like.
There are a lot of ways this opening can go. I like playing it as both white and black in blitz and bullet games. I find that few people know how to play the opening well from either side. Most recently, I beat a player fair and square rated 2200+ as black with this opening. I play at the 2000 level.
3:30 Why would white takes the c5 pawn and allows a check? After Bxd7+, Bxd7 then 0-0 and if cxd4 then Qxd4 regaining his pawn, develloping a piece, controlling the center and not having to worry about the queenside knight ...
When black moves knight to g6, why doesn’t white move pawn to e5 to disrupt blacks pawn structure by either sacrifice or tacking a pawn if knight moves?
don't forget 14:00 is not only a threat for the knight, but for the rook as well.. eventually you can't guard both pieces at one move, so you will have to give up on one.
When I first started playing the Sicilian and had little experience with it this variation would often end with me down on material. But I think if white knows both players are familiar with it it's less likely they'll play it. Also, is that the KOAN Sound logo?
This is not a bad variation for white, this is a solid anti-sicilian system if white know what he is doing, Kevin here made this video to play against the Moscow variation yet he doesn't cover it up equally for both side making it to look stupid for white, but it don't. But just like any other openings if you know it by heart you will be better and not be taken off guard, a lot of sicilian players don't know half the sequence they're playing, they know it should be e4, c5, whatever, d6 or nc6 and that's about it, once you know a total sequence and some variations as well you will be a tough nut to crack. Pro-tips: The sicilian isn't the best bet to reach that status asap as most lines must be memorized up to 20 moves to be really effective...
@@kulik03 Well there are many different options in chess. You can't really make a shorter video without being sufficiently thorough. The alternative is a shorter video that doesn't cover all of the most likely lines.

That would take days to make. Just learn a way to defeat the Sicilian, learn how to beat your system against the Sicilian. Then find one or two variations you like.
Wait! Isn't this called the, "Canal Attack?" Does this position have two names? Excellent videos, thanks 🎓🧐👍
Nice. Can’t wait for more chess opening videos.
I remember Stephen Salvatore every time i hear you

thank you i will use this to my fight tomorrow
Nd7 is my favorite
thanks for the upload man, i played the sicilian defense and the knight was played in f3 and i dint know what to do. now i know what to do
Classic, u can think and do what you want to do the best.
When black moves knight to g6, why doesn’t white move pawn to e5 to disrupt blacks pawn structure by either sacrifice or tacking a pawn if knight moves?

wow i miss you man
16:27 "queen to c6"
Thanks for the video. So this is basically a bad variation for white? Why would white go into this variation?
When I first started playing the Sicilian and had little experience with it this variation would often end with me down on material. But I think if white knows both players are familiar with it it's less likely they'll play it.
Also, is that the KOAN Sound logo?
Because a lot of players under 1600 play it, faced it today too
This is not a bad variation for white, this is a solid anti-sicilian system if white know what he is doing, Kevin here made this video to play against the Moscow variation yet he doesn't cover it up equally for both side making it to look stupid for white, but it don't.
But just like any other openings if you know it by heart you will be better and not be taken off guard, a lot of sicilian players don't know half the sequence they're playing, they know it should be e4, c5, whatever, d6 or nc6 and that's about it, once you know a total sequence and some variations as well you will be a tough nut to crack.
Pro-tips: The sicilian isn't the best bet to reach that status asap as most lines must be memorized up to 20 moves to be really effective...
3:24 you could blunder the bishop by moving queen to a5 though
i dont know why he didnt bring that move up
I thought this was possible at first too however, I didn’t see that white could move the knight to c3 blocking the check and protecting the bishop.
What if he put his knight on g5 ? He could completely mess up our king side after no ?
Thx for the vid, now I won't ever use the Moscow variation as white
welcome back kevin-from-the-chesswebsite-dot-com
Bishop to D7 is a mistake, you can just take the queen with the knight.
I think this is canal attack
Waaaaaaw your voice changed alot just watched a video from 10 years ago 😂
In the end where the queen moves to d4,the c6 knight can eat the queen...
Nope. Black Knight is pinned by White Bishop in b5.
1:47 i like bd7
Plays C4 after bishops
gone
"I'm just going to ignore the fact that black can play queen to d7" hahaha
Why is there so little views?
the vid's a little too long imo
