Have you seen Shafi vs Jones at the British Championships just a few days ago? Would love a video from you about that game.

[@DaltonPerrine]

I had not seen that game but it looks like Jones played the 5…e6 variation which I recommend in my course so that’s very cool to see! He also had a nice attack to win. I may very well make a video about that game soon. Thanks for bringing it to my attention 👍🏻

[@williamlikens82]

The calculation at 5:12 was very instructive. Great Stuff

[@DaltonPerrine]

Often opponent plays e3 or Nf3 against c5. I'd love to see how you handle that.

[@DaltonPerrine]

Against 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. e3 I recommend 3…cxd4 4. exd4 g6 followed by …Bg7, …0-0 then …d5 trying to give white a bad version of an isolated queen pawn structure.
Against 3. Nf3 I recommend 3…cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 planning to play …d5 next and open the center.
We’ll probably get some game examples of these lines as the speedrun progresses.

What are the numbers on the right of the screen , when you do the game review please.

[@DaltonPerrine]

The screenshot with all the numbers is the lichess database for players between the rating range of 1600-2000. It shows what moves score best for White or Black in games within that rating range
