You mention dealing with an aggressive white Kingside pawn storm around 0:50, would be instructive to see this counterplay demonstrated (either in your games or a database game) if possible?
Hey Kaspa... I follow Stockfish development. Starting with SF15.1, they normalized the eval so that +1.00 or -1.00 in the opening no longer correlates with piece or material advantage. It correlates with a 50% chance that Stockfish could win that position against an equal opponent. So, theoretically if any opening falls into this range it is balanced enough to be used. The closer to zero, the more likely the game can be objectively drawn...anything over+/-1 that side holds an advantage and stockfish could (more often than not) win that game
Great Video from Great Kaspa as always , by the way I purchased all your courses because the way you teach chess is amazing and make me love & enjoy watching chess …. Keep up doing what you are great at - providing the best chess contents online
Why are you recommending bishop to G4? After that stockfish gives a + 1.9 advantage for white. Then after DxC5 and queen to A5. Knight to C3 and Queen captures on C5 followed by bishop to E3. This whole line gives white a big advantage.
Hello... I've read most of your comments and think that emotions are getting the best of you. In all fairness, I also don't like the position after the exchange of queens (6. Qd5 Qxd5), but it's playable. As you gain experience, you'll understand that converting advantages (+1 or +5) is tough due to errors during play. Engine evaluations can give you confidence/assurance or be a psicological crutch, but such values are not gonna make you a better player.
And when you reach the point where you say if they go A3 you can continue your development with knight to F6 bishop to E7 etc.There the position IS roughly equal. But instead of A3 if they go bishop to B3 white keeps a healthy +1.2 advantage. This whole sequence black has to walk a tightrope with only moves just to just about stay afloat with a -1.2 disadvantage. And only if white slips up can black equalise. Why are you recommending all of this neglecting the development of the kingside minor pieces?
That will be answered in my next live stream. Actually, no one sees the eval bar during a live game. Chess is more psychological than physical. That +1 advantage means nothing at human level.
You clearly mention that you are not a fan of the Sicilian. Any chess player of note should appreciate the most rich of all openings. The wonderful Sicilian. A must know opening from both sides
But one that can be easily avoided. Due to its complexity, the Sicilian is more appropriate for advanced tactical players, not beginners and intermediate players. In point of fact, not all GM's play the Sicilian.
Because of my mother-tongue. Besides, Najdorf is not an English word. BTW, stick to chess not English lessons. You might be labelled a racist if you go this way.
And then you say forget about playing pawn to E5 just play pawn to E6. It’s always advisable to play pawn to E6 in the Sicilian defence. That is so untrue. Yes in this particular position pawn to E5 is a big mistake. But in many lines it is better to play pawn to E5 rather than pawn to E6. For example in the Sveshnikov to mention just one. You are generalising far too much and I believe are causing a lot of confusion. You are contradicting yourself rather a lot
I said, playing e5 is more riskier. I didn't say e5 is bad. So, if you want to avoid unnecessary traps in the Sicilian, you need to play solidly with moves like d6 and e6. Besides, I believe the majority of my lovely viewers are intermediate players who are not interested in learning about the Sicilian's complexities. So I teach them simple stuff that they can digest. These studies are not for masters like yourself. BTW, Sergey Karjakin won a very great game versus Nepo with this c5 trash that you despise.
You say at one point you don’t want to just go by memorisation. But that’s exactly what needs to be done to stay alive in all of this after your ridiculous recommendation of bishop to G4 instead of simply capturing on D4 with your C pawn. Anyone with half a brain can see that black is falling behind in development. Giving white the bishop pair on an open board.
My first opening recommendation in this video was the Sicilian Najdorf (03:22). So, if you believe you are a master, stick with the Najdorf. According to the Masters Database, after c5, Black has a better win percentage than White (1:28).
You keep mentioning going into your normal pirc defence. Nothing about this whole video has any similarities to the pirc defence other than D6 on move one. Your explanations are so confusing and conflicting at times
I meant, fianchettoing your DSB on the King's side like you do in the normal Pirc defense. People who watched the video below understand the point: ua-cam.com/video/bmDX5MGDaF0/v-deo.htmlsi=Q_H1KnKkZ-uonNUB
And you are calling the bishop developed to E3 this useless bishop. I’m sorry Kaspa. I have watched many of your videos and taken a lot of great ideas from you. But the first 6 minutes of this. It’s as far as I’ve got so far has so many flaws
I appreciate that. But such statements like eyeballs, elbows, useless bishop, etc, are just a way to attract attention. BTW, Sergey Karjakin won a very great game versus Nepo with this c5 trash that you despise. Follow the stats in the Lichess (Masters) Database then you will understand the whole point of this video. E.g. 01:28
So much of what you are saying simply isn’t true. Chess is a game of endless possibilities and you are making lots of definitive statements that simply aren’t true

Thank you for video!
Welcome!
Thank you! I would like to see more of this c5 defense. 👍
Thanks. Well noted
Great continuation of your Universal System. Please continue making more content on this system. Thanks, Kaspa.
Much appreciated
Very nice video! Thank you!
Love all this! Please keep going. I've had great success so far, and it suits my style... Hehe

👍Awesome. That's already scheduled for my next live stream.
Thankyou Kaspa..

Nice explanation and feedback. I just learnt something new. Thanks

This part (15:48) answers your question above. Besides, Stockfish sees the endgame imbalances that humans don't see immediately.

Why do you pronounce Najdorf that way?

So... sicilian
He doesn't seem to notice this :-)
lol I came here for the pirc and got rick rolled. I'm out of here.

How can you possibly say that it’s a useless bishop on E3. You are showing utter bias
Just a little sense of humor to prove that I'm not a robot.

I’m actually getting quite annoyed at some of the things that you are proposing
It's not me. According to the Masters Database, after c5, Black has a better win percentage than White (1:28).

Which parts of the video do you think contain moves not found in the Lichess database?
