Today I was reading Queens gambit from FCO but it's so time consuming....it's much better to learn from video demonstrating the ideas in physical chess board
Nice video! It explains the variations really well, and also how to defend against this gambit. I've been playing a bit of queen's gambit without even knowning the theory, and I think it has worked really well to facilitate center control and development for me. It's a really strong opening!
Thanks for that! That was some great explanation of the basic plans on Queen's Gambit! Really appreciate it! Looking forward to study all the course! Also, it makes a good difference that you play on an actual board!
this channel is so important to me. I love chess but I have never been in a chess club, so often I am at a disadvantage when I am playing people who have knowledge of opening theory... Not anymore :)
That's great news that you really improved in chess with the help of our videos. It makes us proud to hear that and we hope that you continue to watch our videos. Keep going!
Thanks for making this series! I’ve been looking for some instructional content on the queen’s gambit. Been playing d4 since I started playing chess, but I never learned the theory. Never knew about the hanging rook if black tries to save the pawn, but it’s probably because I play e4 in the QGA
7:45 I've seen this development white bishop to G5 many times, but can't understand why not for the black to just attack that bishop with a pawn to H6?
Black can do it, but the bishop remains on this diagonal - Bh4. The idea behind it is to pin/control the knight f6, a key defender of the d5 and e4 squares.
@@Chessfactor Thank you ! But if the knight defends d5 and e4 and you want to eliminate that defender, don't you just want to take that knight with the bishop? My concern with the retreat to a5 is the blacks develop their pieces and I'm moving the same piece around. I just don't see several moves ahead where controlling that line has a huge strategic advantage, I suppose.
@@PavelSTL Bishops are known to be worth slightly more than knights. Unless you get some compensation for the trade, it's generally not good to trade away your bishop for a knight.
I feel like I play without a plan even tho I try to play caro kann and qgd/ catalan, is this normal? Generally I see the things as the game goes by or am I just bad? 1700 elo. Thank you
After qf3, it is possible to protect the rook. (Qf3, Nc6, Qxc6+, Bd7) and blacks queen is protecting the rook! :) Just wanted to clarify that if you are in this situation as black :)
Why is Bishop g5 pinning the knight a good move? The way I see it you just play pawn h6 and know bishop has to go back or force to trade, which leads to no gain in material.
Black’s f6 knight is fighting for the center. By pinning it to the queen, white is indirectly gaining control of the center. If h6, bishop drops back to h4, and if black plays g5, that’s considered a weakening move for black, since black’s typical plan is to castle on that side of the board. Even if black unpins the knight with Be7, white is always threatening to take the knight and play in the center
It is nice to see the openings on a physical chess board rather than a computer
Glad to hear that. Do you notice any differences while following the opening moves on a physical rather than on a computer board?

Would love to see both!! but still good
Awesome video! Really clear and logical explanations of the ideas

great video
8:02 from h7 to h6 and then what?
I have a question . In the early configuration of queens gambit; with black playing e6 on turn two , why Kc3 vs. Kf3 on the front end of turn ?
So Queen's gambit is only playeble as white?
Thanks alot...this helped me alot...

I just won OTB thanks to this video! It was a QGA (accepted) and I played white :D
Отличный урок. Акцентом восторгаюсь, практически отсутствует, очень приятно слушать
good informational video
Glad to hear that! Hope you like the other videos of the series as well.
Hi Andrey, Thanks for great presentation. I was not able to find this course on chess factor. Where can i find full version?
Check out the playlist: ua-cam.com/video/ITQwXN9hXms/v-deo.html
The full course will be uploaded on Chessfactor soon.
Can you post a link to purchase the chessboard you’re using? I’ve been looking for a really classic tournament set like that
Please see the link at the end of the video description.
Sir please tell me which opening the black could do also tell me how can we play against these opening

You are right, it should have been something like "it is impossible to protect the rook without significant material losses"
awesome thank you

nice video
Thanks and don't forget to watch the other videos of the Queen's Gambit series 😉
What do I do if black doesn't go to d5?
Well, that depends on what black plays instead.
Playing queens gambit makes me feel like I’m just playing London system
Nice!
Thanks!
terima kasih

But what to do if they dont respond with that pawn xD
good video
Commentator has a good name too which is a bonus
Thanks Andrey 😉
I still don't get what happens when they have an isolated pawn. I don't really see a good way to capture it.
Wow you guys are time travelers
Maybe we are 😉
