Never have I seen a course creator be so supportive enough to constantly share games of their lines, I’m such a fan now. Loving your Kalashnikov course as well
Thank you! I am very grateful to those that bought the courses, played the lines, then sent in the games to me. It’s great to see the lines successfully employed.
Let me break it to you gently, typically, most non-native speakers of English have very strong accents, but somehow it is less noteworthy and more acceptable! I might have opened a can of worms here...
@@PowerPlayChess You are absolutely right. English is a world language and it is acceptable if someone is able to communicate, even though for you native English speakers it may hurt to hear it😀Your German is really great!
I didn't got any full fledged Kalashnikov yet but I am using the thematic moves of Kalashnikov such as protecting e5 pawn with f6 and creating a pawn chain the Trojan horse in the similar structure which make me fall in love with Kalashnikov along the king of Kalashnikov(Daniel king)
I spotted the new video yesterday and pressed like immediately and I am now watching it this morning having a tea! Kudos Mr King! Also looking forward to the book version of Beating the Anti-sicilians
Bookcase collapses and he carries on. A true professional. I couldn't sit there with my nice books getting damaged, spines cracking etc. Time to rethink keeping a copy of every King book (English and German editions)? Downloads are available.
There are some lines in which white plays e5 and afte that a fast Ne4, attacking doubled c pawn on c5. I ve checked thats possible to sac this pawn by just castling and after Nxc5 b6 and then c5 again, giving life to the c8 bishop
In your book you say b5 is committal that's why you recommend Be7 after Na3 but end up playing what was the point of delaying it for a move. And I allows noticed that Bad Bishop Bounce is done in 2 situation 1. when the Queen is off of d8-h4 diagonal and 2.when the g5 square is under control of white's pieces. Otherwise trading Bad Bishop for Good Bishop is the Theme to get firm grip on d4.
@@PowerPlayChess oh ok thanks. Thanks again for letting people know how you learn opening yourself in the book that made my life easier First to look at model games and then delving into lines and theory😍😍
Well done Marharyta. My score against the Rossolimo has gone up a lot since acquiring GM King's Anti-Sicilian course. Love playing 3. Nf6 against it. For some reason, in my experience, it seems to slow down Rossolimo players as well. It's odd, in that respect.
I am glad that i have your Kalashnikov book that will help me learn the opening but if I want to learn a new opening like as you mentioned by myself (that is first looking through model games and then diving into variation) without book but I have a caissabase databse consisting 5 million games then how to use it to understand the strategy and ideas/patterns in the desired openings and how to know which move to choose if I want to deviate from theory and whether the choosen move leads to a strategic play or tactical play. I cannot afford to buy any more books or get a coach due to financial situation the only thing I have is interest and the database. So please help.
One method I've found useful is to play against Stockfish on Lichess at a given level (say 5 or 6) but when I set it up, specify "From position". Then your starting position can be anything you want, say four moves into an opening of interest. You have to tell it whether it's white or black to play, then choose white or black for yourself. Then afterwards, compare against the database and engine.
@@PowerPlayChess that's nice but I wanted to know how to use chess database to learn a opening and how to know as their are many option of variation which move leads to strategic play and which leads to tatical complications by myself as I can't afford a coach or books anymore due financial restrain
@@raajeshchess But but you can afford Stockfish, because it is free. First, analyze and annotate the game you are interested in yourself, then check your work with an engine.
A fine idea, but in my mind it is such a momentous subject that I would need to spend a serious amount of time on it which, at the moment, I don't have.
Moving the same piece twice in the opening is dubious. White will get a lead in development and good chances to overtake the centre after 4 Nxd4 cxd4 5 c3.
Instead of 24 a5 if White plays 24 e6, Black answers with 24...Bd3 25 Rf2 Bxc4 and has the advantage. By this stage in the endgame, Black has a clear advantage.
Let's say White plays 11 g4. Black replies with 11...f5, practically forcing 12 exf6 exf6. The knight will either hop back into play via f7 or Black will achieve ...f5 to open White's kingside. This is quite a standard response to g4 and occurs in many different positions, for example where White waits with the king and castles queenside. But Black always gains sufficient counterplay. I have demonstrated games featuring this idea on the channel previously, and of course you will find full details in the Chessable course!

Sie sprechen sehr gut Deutsch, Respekt! Thank you for the video, very instructive!
Englishmen typically have very strong accents in foreign languages, but Danny's German sounds erstklassig.

The rossolimo is SO annoying ! I have even played ..4 Na5 ..4 Nf6 must be better! I signed up
Talk about immediate impact! ♥
taking with the queen preserves the pawn break c5-c4. "He who controls the pawn breaks controls the game"
She plays pretty chess too... these games have been worth the time..thanks for the coverage
Your videos on this opening have won me so many rated games already! Hope the bookcase was okay lol
Great to hear!
There are some lines in which white plays e5 and afte that a fast Ne4, attacking doubled c pawn on c5.
I ve checked thats possible to sac this pawn by just castling and after Nxc5 b6 and then c5 again, giving life to the c8 bishop
The bookcase collapsed because of the signed copies of the anti sicilans book. Can I have one? Please😊
The Anti-Sicilians book will be published mid-September! In the meantime get the online course!

Because by delaying …b5 Black is able to develop, and that makes it easier to cope with an early attack on the b5 pawn.

Another wonderful video. Also, just informing you that I broke 2300 on Lichess! I'm proud of myself and wanted to share :)

Greetings Mr. GM King... where can I find that quote from GM Eduard Gufeld?
I'm not sure, I just remember him saying it!

@@PowerPlayChess excelent news!
Was it the book case with the "heavy stuff" from guys like Robert Hübner 😅
can u cover the World Chess Championship 1972? thanks
A fine idea, but in my mind it is such a momentous subject that I would need to spend a serious amount of time on it which, at the moment, I don't have.
@@PowerPlayChess but mr king. we all r chess lovers and that match is mandatory for a class chess channel like yours ❤
How about 3… nd4?
Moving the same piece twice in the opening is dubious. White will get a lead in development and good chances to overtake the centre after 4 Nxd4 cxd4 5 c3.
No way, there is a book auf Deutsch ?
Bedeutet das, dass Sie Deutsch sprechen, Herr King ?

Kein Buch auf Deutsch, aber es gibt ein Kurs auf Deutsch: www.chessable.com/kings-anti-sizilianer-fur-schwarz/course/149586/
White should have played e6 instead of a5 and even again moves after.
Instead of 24 a5 if White plays 24 e6, Black answers with 24...Bd3 25 Rf2 Bxc4 and has the advantage. By this stage in the endgame, Black has a clear advantage.
@@PowerPlayChess 25 Rf2 isn't the best. 25 Be3 - BxR 26 RxB - Rxc 27 Rxf+ - Kg8 28 Rxe and white has some counterplay.
What happens if White plays g4 to prevent ...Nf5. Weak for White's king obviously but how do we get our pieces coordinated to respond
Let's say White plays 11 g4. Black replies with 11...f5, practically forcing 12 exf6 exf6. The knight will either hop back into play via f7 or Black will achieve ...f5 to open White's kingside.

This variation is more annoying for me than the Kalashnikov variation. Thanks for this videos, mr.King!
