- The Sicilian Dragon is often a race with both sides pursuing attacks on the enemy king. Here Black goes in for an unorthodox knight maneuver (...Nf6-d7-e5), and I react with prophylaxis (12.b3) followed by pure aggression (13.h4 and 14.g4)!

best thing that can come up in my sub box:
john bartholomew's standard chess
and hey im suscribed to almost 600 channels!
Made my night to hear that! Cheers.
Deeper analysis with Stockfish shows 18.Bd4 to be the best move: +6.97 at 36 ply.
In this game we see John playing very tatically something that is unusual on him; he is more a positional player. Glad to see both styles.
Thanks for all of your uploads John, you help me improve so so much.
Pleased to hear that, Joeri.
I hope to play against you soon, John. I'm not a very strong player (around 2000 in lichess), but I'd like to know how far I am from an IM. Your videos are great, you give us highly valuable advices about how to improve our chess. Thank you sou much, Jonh. Greetings from México.
awesome stuff John, so inspiring!!
This is my favorite game of yours that I've seen. Awesome.
How could Anyone dislike this video??
Perfect content as always John, thank you!
I love playing against and with the dragon. Aside from having a badass name, the positions are always sharp and interesting.
This is a great video, very instructional, clear and simple.
Thanks for the positive feedback, Claude!
Amazing game, John! Like Bobby said to do against the Dragon: "Sac, sac, mate."

Awesome attack analysis!
(GLAD that you decided for 22. Rh8+) ^___^
Awesome dragon game! Fireworks and positions sharp enough to make the engine dizzy. Thats what I'm talking about!
Awesome game. Cool analysis too, so many subtleties. Feels odd that white isn't winning much sooner according to the computer!
Excellently played, thanks
36:15 "Build a wall." Is there something you want to tell us, John?
I'm probably going to sit out this election; no worries :)
+John Bartholomew I'm with you there.
again, great analyses, stepping out of the box
Tony has mentioned in a few of his videos that the Lichess Engine is depth limited. Going one ply further can completely change the evaluation sometimes.
John, I have watched the majority of your videos and they are really nice. Congratulations for your effort building the channel! I would like to ask you, where can I find the dates and hours where you are having a livestream? Do you upload it on some social network or something?
Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Letsios! Twitter is the best place to get my stream announcements: twitter.com/fins0905 Cheers!
Thanks a lot for the response John! Have a nice day!
I think John likes arrows. Keep up the good work!
I'm glad he does, makes it so much easier to follow!
I gotta remember to make the arrows different colors! Thanks!
would be a lot of fun to see you play a standard game or two against IM Keaton. you guys would make great competition and you know he loves his Dragon
I'll ask him some time. I agree - he would be a great opponent!
cool, thanks John, let's see what he says! :)
Similar to a fisher game, except I don't see a clear fisher tactic here in the beginning because of the move order, I wonder what a computer would come with.
At move 21, my first instinct was Qg1. Just line up the Queen with the black King. And then 21...Qxc3 22. gxf7+ is double check so black has to take with the king. 22... Kxf7 23. Rf1+ is good enough. Ke8 gets mated in a couple of moves after Rxf8+. Ke7 gets mated in a few after Qg5+. Black has to find 23...Bf5 and then 24. Rh7+ and the onslaught continues. Because of the queen on the g file suddenly the black king is trapped on a minefield. One misstep and he's dead. My engine found some mate in 20s and whatnot in this poistion and of course I didn't calculate that but it's just obvious that black is getting killed here sooner or later. Someone as experienced as you would immediately judge that "Well, that has to be winning" even without seeing all the variations. Like there are all 3 white heavies lined up against a defenseless king with plenty of good entry points and angles to attack and even assistance from the white bishop, there is just no chance for survival in a position like that.
Computer also likes Qg1, it can't quite decide between that and Qd2 and Qe3. From a practical point of view though, with the amount of time you had, Qd2 and Qe3 are probably better because they have easier lines to calculate.
Really instructive and nice game, John. Cheers!
Nice game John!
At 14:00 why cant he take the rook on h8 if u pit him in check i dont get it
Fun game!
John, I'm sorry if I make a silly question, but I've started playing chess two weeks ago and since then I have been binge watching all of your videos.
I saw that for beginners you said that it would be ideal in the opening not to get the knight in front of the c2 pawn, are there cases where this is wrong?
For example, let's take 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3
Would black be better playing Nc6 or d6?
Thanks!
***** Thank you!
hi John. great video.
Hi John! Next time you are white in a standard game, please could you maybe play 1. c4 (and try and avoid transpositions to d4 openings) :)
finally another vid
good game
John, I just started using the chess.com tactics trainer and I am making lots of mistakes before I eventually find the right move. I'd like to know if there is a tactics trainer out there that will tell me the reason that the right move is the right move.
Sadly, I haven't come across a website that does that, but you can use the fantastic Chess Mentor on chess.com. That tells you why the move you choose is correct or wrong.
hi I'm 1368 uscf but my tactics are 1800+ I'm not sure how to improve I was stuck around this rating range for a while on lichess I'm 1910 blitz and 1380 blitz on chess.com. I was working on my opening this summer
If you have a Diamond membership on chess.com, you should make use of its tremendous tools. I use Chess Mentor, and it has boosted my chess.com rating by at least four hundred points. Before I became a Diamond member, I was probably a 1100 (or even below) rated player on the site. Now, I am playing with the 1600 and 1700 rated players.
All I can say is that you should mainly work on the endgame, and middlegame (tactics and strategy), but leave out the opening until you reach around the 1800 rated mark (preferably the expert level (2000)). The reason for that is because most people under 1800 go out of "book" within the first five moves, so learning the theory and the move order if you are under 1800 is useless at this moment in time. Well, it's not useless, but why spend your time on something that probably won't be needed because players keep going out of "book"? Devote your time and energy to tactics, strategy, and the endgame. However, just learn the basics of the opening (such as: control the centre, castle as soon as possible, develop your pieces to good squares, and so on), and you should have played the opening well enough without learning all that dull and long theory.
My rating went up a little bit around 1450 now on chess.com blitz and 1602 bullet
Anton Sebastian That's fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Still cant afford a diamond membership but thanks for the recommendation.
Anton Sebastian That is understandable. Why not get one of the lower memberships?
John, what is the machine you analyze with and how to get that tool?it seems helpful when trying to improving chess skills.
Not sure if you're talking about his usual analysis tool, but here he's simply using the engine analysis provided by lichess.org
thank you
I thought the number at the top right is from analysis from a local engine on your computer? I'm pretty sure John uses Stockfish.
It's stockfish which is built into lichess. The number at the top right is just part of the standard lichess interface
Hey John, I have a question if you would be kind enough to answer. I play the QGD exchange variation with Nge2. Is this played a lot at the GM level? I know the QGD isn't very popular at the top level but when it is played does white generally play the exchange with Nge2? If not why? What is wrong with it? Thanks a lot, this was a burning question of mine. Cheers!
Hello, Leonardo! Yes, the Exchange QGD with Nge2 is very dangerous to Black. Check the games of Botvinnik and Kasparov; they excelled on the White side of this setup.
+John Bartholomew Thanks a lot, that's what I play with the white side. I love your videos! Fantastlc Content!
+John Bartholomew Can you do a video on this variation please, like covering white's plans and what he would do when black plays the standard moves, thanks!
What kind of lunatic downvotes these videos?
36:48 Afroamerican pawns please..
I too always look forward to your video contributions! So very instructive, and so well delivered. Thank you so much for your time and efforts!
That Fn G Pond! :)
Nice gambit of the pawn early on at move 14... I'm liking what playing 1.e4 is doing for your game!
Thanks, Justin! Ponziani time?
Goring gambit John... Goring Gamibit ;)
that was a sexy way to win hahaha
Quit chess anyways because you seek a classical game and play it like a blitz game. It’s incredibly annoying and incredibly stupid.
