Knight’s value seems to increase in a time pressure endgame...by adding complexity in a way that bishops and rooks do not, it forces one to slow down and calculate.
This is rapidly becoming my favorite series of yours. If I could learn only one thing from you, I actually think it would be to be able to laugh like that when I blunder away the win!
You probably dont care but does any of you know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my login password. I love any help you can offer me
I don't follow why did you resign the third game? (17:00) Isn't Qf3 a perfectly reasonable move, pinning the rook, protecting the king and attacking the queen? As I'm typing it occured to me it's impossible to take the D pawn without sacrificing the queen, so that must have been why?
Aaron B posted a good explanation, but as long as I keep White's e-pawns doubled, White is essentially playing down a pawn there, and I knew I could make a passed pawn on the queenside. This would force White's king to come stop it, and I could go win White's center/kingside pawns.
In that Scandinavian after 12.Ne5 the best move is ...O-O; what you played actually loses by force. Also, Nakamura posted an analysis video on UA-cam of his US Championship game with Shankland; at the beginning he conducts a survey of current theory in the main line Slav and concludes that it's pleasant for white.
Hi Jhon, I really like your videos and attitude, keep it buddy! I am sure one like me being less than 1900 (not official btw :D) cannot give an advice to a master, however I think you need to stick with a very specific repertoire that does not have many variations to increase your confidence and instinct for this kind of matches. Although I know you ultimately want to have the flexibility to play many openings with the instinct skills, it is much easier to develop it using this methodology. Again, who am I to advice you, but thought that might help you
Sacov had your number in this session Minnesota Fins. Perhaps your mind was on another kind of Knight. the one with no K. I hear Dallas can be one heck of a fun town.

Agreed!

16:58 "Ahhhh! Someone call an ambulance!" 17:00 "But not for me!"
Hoisted by my own petard. Hahahaha. Haven't heard that in forever.
Gotta love Shakespeare!
You dismantle some GMs so easily, man you deserve to get those norms... keep up the great videos.
4:44 Learning from your Bongcloud video! White's king takes up residence on the Western Front.
improving my english with your videos ❤❤ thanks for the good content 🙂
Haha, love that the losing move just makes you laugh.
Good session John! Thanks!
Thank you, Jeronimo!
Enjoyed this one, John! Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks for the video John!
Thank you for watching!
Missed you're vids man. The absence left me with the chessbrahs. I can't take the techno any more. HELP
in the modern scandinavian is there mileage in jadule gambit?
KEEP IT ROLLING JOHN
Im busy with traveling around places regarding business work.

Hope you're enjoying your travels, Basidh! Thanks a lot for checking in; cheers!
12:48 I don’t know if I’m going to play Na4. 30 seconds later “I’m going to play Na4” 😂

No. After John would play Qf3, the other player would trade queens and then take his rook, making John play with only pawns against rook and pawns.
@@DenisHoste hehe indeed, don't know what I was thinking three months ago 😅 thx
john, how could you tell at 9:23 that it would be a winning pawn endgame? just down to white’s doubled pawns?
After the capture, white ends up with three pawn islands, two isolated, plus the doubled pawns. Pretty favorable compared to two strong pawn islands.
@@Guy_With_A_Laser thank you!

@@JohnBartholomewChess appreciate the explanation, thanks
Did a higher level player recommend you train this aspect of your game or did you decide on your own to train in this way? Love the vids thank you
Thank you! Decided to do this on my own.

u be tweaking off them coffees
That caffeine be hittin different 🥴
15:20 why not Qb7+, does that not win the bishop on b2? What am I missing?
There was previously a pawn on d5.
Instead of his Qd5. (As played on the board)
Qb7+ forks the king on g2 and bishop on b2
@@ClassicPass_ Ah, I see what you mean! Yup, we both missed that.

17:01 nice reaction :)
thought about doing a meetup at the Dallas chess club? I barely play anymore but I'd love a chance to play you!
Very quick trip here, so can't make a meetup happen. Sorry!
Where’s the 2nd vid John?
Intriguing thumbnail!
At 23:50, couldn’t John trade rooks on c2 and run his king to h8 for an easy draw?
Think he still wanted to play for a win
Yes, though not really something you think about in time pressure.
And I'll be back with another one, real soon... Are you secretly Mark Crilley?
you should trade rooks and get your king to h8 at 23:51 which is a draw
2:20 why not Rxa6?
White has an additional defender, the bishop on f1.
@@JohnBartholomewChess thank you John, studying is affecting me I think xD
Okay JB stay healthy in Dallas this time..eh?
What I learned from this video: 01:14
What John learned from making the video: 02:57
Tough variation, English...double edged. Easier to play for black, it seems? Maybe you're misplaying it? Idk but fun to watch.
well, i don't think i learn anything from these games but they are fun to watch;)
🤗
You lose admirably.
