      Well, it's white move after that so probably tried to support the rook. The point is the student wants to play bishop c6 pinning the pawn (after probably bishop d4 protecting while attacking the black queen)

      ​@@WARUEL No. The Qd2 is a total blunder because the queen moved away from the rook, giving way for the mate in one. The student's variation probably didn't include the Kh1 so when he studied the variation, there wasn't a big threat.

    Loving this series so far. The other day you also mentioned a project on openings you had been working on, and though I’m sure I will enjoy that, I’d be especially interested in a graphically intense book on tactics that I can keep on display to pique the interest of friends and family when they visit. Even if there are some already available, I’m certain you could do it better. Just a thought. Keep up the good work, Sir. Also, my wife, Nicole, is now hooked on chess. So, thank you for that. Our nightly games are a refreshing alternative to stale video games and thinly plotted television series.

    • @raphaelhudson
      @raphaelhudson 6 років тому

      The Icelandic occurs after C4. This line does not hold onto the pawn that way, the check means you have to respond immediately. The only similar line would be to block the check with C6, then dxc bxc... but it isn't a good gambit as black does not get to recapture.

  • @schnabeltasse
    @schnabeltasse 5 років тому

    I do not play anymore this french variation with white (e5), because i allways feared my pawn-structure and the loss of a pawn. Anyway, with black i feared something other in this situation. Maybe there are to much ghost in my mind. But i like it much better with black, most i have a nice dead while growing old, while with white...also blundering, but earlier.
    It is nice to see, how sharp the french can be. Never thought about that wild things, just worry about my pawn or king. That is the trouble in my head.
