Great analysis. Not a chance I'll remember it all, and my engine suggests a few improvements, but great analysis. You do a great job of keeping track of which variations you've covered, and jumping back and over to the next branch, but the jumps back to a prior position are sometimes a little hard to follow. A couple of suggestions: 1. When you jump back to an earlier position, at least state the move number; sometimes a move (like Bb5) can occur in multiple positions, so just stating that that was the prior move is not sufficient to find the position easily. Another option would be to show the Notation pane in an adjacent window. 2. Show the board coordinates, more to help _you_ accurately quote the moves than to help most of us. At 2:40, you state that you moved "...Rb1", when you actually moved _...Rb8_. Only 10 seconds later at 2:50 you state that _your opponent_ played "Rb1", when in fact he played _Rg1_. _Neither_ of you actually played Rb1 at all! I really appreciate the analysis and training games time you put into this, and the fact that you've shared it with the chess community. This was already one of my target openings for blitz, and this information will save me a lot of time. Thanks!
This main line is sharp, but looks theoretically good for Black and practically very dangerous for White. Good coverage of a complicated line. White's best chances seem to be through a more positional route. I look forward to seeing your recommendations against the Scotch Game, and Scotch and Goering Gambits. My guess is 4...Bc5 against the Scotch based on the repertoire I've seen so far. I remember also seeing in an earlier video that you mentioned you had success against the Scotch Gambit.
Hi Gunjan, your knowledge of chess theory is very impressive! I'm a beginner to chess, besides knowing basic tactics and a few openings I'm not very sure how to keep progressing with my learning and where to go next. Could you give me some tips on how to improve? :)

you put in a lot.
I thank you for that.
It's kind of a meditation session too, smiling!!!
this is nice opening. I tried it in club a few times but failed because opponent promoted to queen at the beginning of opening.

There one good move for White instead of Rb1 is Knight capture e5 and White have a little bit better position than black
Sir, Is there any tricks against c4 I have faced some problem on this line when I was black and my opponent started his play with c4.
also after Nxe5 Queen can't capture the bishop, black need to do 0-0-0 and than white back to attacking position too
Sir make a repertoire against Bd3 variations
The sound is not working on this video. Or on 4H. :-(
