  • @juleslondon3088
    @juleslondon3088 2 роки тому +3

    I think you should increase the time control to 10 minutes as someone else has said. The descriptions are a bit rushed and you’re also making mistakes that some of your audience around this level can easily see. Naroditsky is playing 10+5 for his current speed run, increasing to 15+10 at higher levels and it works well. The content is still entertaining and educational but I think this would help you to improve it.

    • @juleslondon3088
      @juleslondon3088 2 роки тому

      @@peterkukiewicz9217 Thanks for the suggestion. If I recall correctly those games tend to be against much higher rated players, generally 2100+, so the mistakes are a lot more subtle, eg Simon has prepared/memorised better in some opening, finds a strong positional idea due to knowledge of pawn structure or engineers a bad piece for his opponent and plays against that. While they’re interesting I find it much harder to find concrete ideas to learn from in these games.

    Nigel Short once played the exchange French (as white) and castled long --for an opposite sides castle attacking game. It was really really interesting. So the exchange French isn't all snoring and snoozing. There are some fun sidelines.

    As a French player (player of the French 😁), I often got this variant (last game) of the exchange. Then I switched to the variation where you bring your Knight to e7 (and later g6 or f5)... Much more fun! (+ long castling and f6)
    (by the way, is it variant or variation? I used both here because I'm not sure...)

    • @juleslondon3088

      Variation. Variant is used for stuff like 960, antichess, atomic, horde, racing kings, etc.

    • @torrawel
      @torrawel 2 роки тому +1

      @@juleslondon3088 thanks! In Dutch you can use variant for both (de variant van het Frans & 960 is een variant van schaken). Variatie (equivalent of variation) is never used in the first sentence, but it might be used in the second. If you would say: "een variatie op het Frans", it would mean that it isn't the French anymore, yet something that looks like it... (which is, I guess, similar to what you in English would call a variant then... Right?)
