Slav Defense, Exchange variation - Standard chess #44
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- I played a standard chess game as white with my opponent playing the Slav Defense. I opted for a quiet line, the exchange variation where little to no imbalance springs about structurally, or piece-wise. White hopes to grind out some tiny positional edge, or as the saying goes "draw blood from a stone". Time controls are 15 minutes with a 2 second increment.

Just when life seems dull,
Without fail Jerry uploads,
You're my hero, man.
:)
nice. thanks for longer time controls, too.
Every standard game gets even more interesting than the previous ones. Thanks for uploading them, watching standard games is like watching a movie. I also loved it whenever you played against the Computer - not many people do that.
Thank you Ashwin.
it's nice to see more standard game
Thanks for the upload Jerry, these Classical games are always my favourite videos
Thanks Jerry. Nice game demonstrsting clear tactics against Slav.
Thank you Mark.
What's a Slav?
Baby don't hurt me

Oliver S. while I appreciate the sincere answer, I only meant to post the comment as a joke. "What's a Slav" sounds like "what is love", as in the well-known song.
bengski68 Should have clicked on read more.
love the standard games
I hate playing against Slav and this was very helpful, thanks
A simple solution to an opening that can turn very complex. :)
Thanks, Jerry. That middle game was rich.
great stuff jerry, thanks for helping us out
I often play the Slav Exchange Variation as white precisely because most Slav players find it annoying. The problem with playing this against a weaker player is that it allows them to maintain equality well into the middle game as all the best moves are easy to find because they are the most natural-looking moves. But, for this reason, it's also easy to identify a bad move. For instance, in this game, black's decision to fianchetto his dark-squared bishop with ...g6 is antithetical to the opening. You capitalized on it quite nicely.
Jerry, good game! It was awkward for you to have more time than your opponent? :P
Great video as usual... I was a bit surprised how long you waited to play nxd5 on move 15. Seems like you would've had a pretty huge time edge and the ending would have been easier to win. This isn't a criticism btw, just an observation.
I probably could have pulled the trigger a bit faster on that one yes. :)
I learnt more chess with your 15/2 games than with anything else. Please go on.
Thank you Jerry!
At 21:55 you are debating several moves: 15.Nxd5, 15.Qxd5, 15.b3, and you briefly considered 15.Nxc4?! There is no doubt that this is a critical position. You ultimately chose 15.Nxd5 which, according to Stockfish, is the best move for white that evaluates to a +1.78 advantage.
Great game and commentary
Muito bom o seu plano de jogo, aprendi com este vídeo...
Great stuff! Keep it up!
+Gabriel Garcia Thank you Gabriel.
Yay I love the Slav Exchange. :)
I'm glad I'm not the only one. :)
Jerry, being a self-taught NM, what did you find most helpful in getting to that level? I started playing chess online about 9 months ago and started playing tournaments about 5 months ago. I got from beginner level to USCF 1800 in that time before I started playing OTB tournaments by watching your youtube channel and some others, but I have not seen my rating increasing since I started playing OTB. Although I feel I am getting stronger, it's not showing in my results. Currently I am practicing tactics on chess.com, looking over my OTB games, watching commentary of strong OTB tournaments, and continuing to watch the youtube channels that got me where I am now. What would you recommend I change/add to help me continue to improve? Thanks for your amazing videos, and I would really appreciate it if you respond if you happen to see this comment. All the best :)
I got to a 2000+ rating by doing what you did but I also did tactics excercises and read books. Improving your positional game and endgame strategies is guaranteed to give you an increase of like 300 points.
Thanks for the advice. Any specific book recommendations?
Engines cant evaluate these endgames very well, they sometimes are a draw even if the engines gives an advantage (material advantage doesn't nessarly mean winning in Rook endgames or opposite colour Bishops). Though I think this was winning because of the double pawns.
it was nice. thanks
I was thinking you could have played 15. Qxd5, and if 15...Nxb2 16. Qb3 might trap the knight.
13:31 I'm trying to think if good moves for the opponent, I have been looking and I was wondering if queen a5 would have been a okay nice to play, I haven't run through all the variants but I feel like it might be decent
Asmr Jerry
chess network give me some tips to improve my middle game skills recommend me some books if possible
I've heard a lot of people ask him for book recommendations and he usually doesn't have any(visual, hands on type of learner like myself) I've heard 'My System' by Nimsowitsch is really good though. Other than that, I'd just try to focus on where you're lacking(tactics, strategy etc...) and find something that focuses on that.
Jeremy Silman is an excellent author. I would recommend How to Reassess Your Chess 4th ed. Has something to offer for all levels of chess players. It helped me when I was 1200 and I'm still learning more from it (close to breaking 2000). His endgame book is also good. He has a way of delivering the information in a simple and humorous but extremely effective manner.
How many 'starts' can you have in 1 game? :)
