Captain Bimble If they play Nf3, you still play c5, then they will play one of the following: King's Indian Defence Gruenfeld Nimzo-indian Queen's Indian Benoni Yeah, that's a lot of openings. But they're all very different. So you need to study a lot in order to play 1.d5
I think you're one of the best chess teachers here in youtube. Mainly because your way of teaching is so intuitive and logical I am able to remember very much of the video!! Thank you very much and greetings from Spain!!
I wish I had the means to pay you for lessons. You really are the best teacher. Thank you for making these videos available free! I find that I have to watch them many times, as my memory is not up to par these days. But never the less, my game has improved since watching you. Thank you again.
Thanks for the great question! Black can try this but the bishop's placement is bizzare since it inhibits Black from playing ...e6 (and thereby bringing out his dark-squared bishop and getting castled). Also the bishop should be easily targetted via Ng5 sooner or later. A game worth checking out is Gelfand-Zilberman 1999 which went 2...dxc4 3.e3 Be6 4.Nf3 Nf6 (3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Be6 would transpose) 5.Nc3 (covering d5 so that now Ng5 is threatened) c6 6.Ng5 and White soon recovered the pawn
Dereque is the only consistently good opening UA-camr for me. Doesn't go too far down inferior lines, expands on alternate possibilities, talks about thematic elements instead of pushing rote memorization. Thank you!
Dereque , I always comeback to review this very strong gambit Thanks to you Sir , my game have been improved tremendously Please continue with your excellent chess lessons.
Watched this video about a year ago. A friend and I practiced trying to hold on tho pawn in almost blitz speed games lol. It helped to see the ideas of why have to give back and how to punish a player who does not give back in a good time.
Good question! 7...Qxd1 8.Rxd1 also constitutes a loss of tempo for Black (to my way of counting). White has gained time for the centralization of his rook on d1. So Black loses a bit of time no matter what - the question is where he'd like to place his king? About half of the time Black tries 7...Qxd1 and then castles his king, but in the modern times Black leans more towards 7...Bxc5 since the king may be more useful on e7 than on g8 in the queenless middlegames that follow.
thanks for isolating the queen's gambit accepted and going down further with all the variations. i was really losing focus when the instruction is going back and for between accepted and declined.
Mr Kelly, you're fantastic.You should have your own Chess show.You bring such freshness, a stark contrast to the stale presentation that most people give on chess openings.Thank you and keep inspiring people about the most beautiful game in the history of mankind.
Thank you! Black generally can not maintain the pawn. An example line: 3.Nf3 b5 4.a4 c6 5.e3 e6 6.axb5 cxb5 7.b3 White benefits is ahead in development, has 2-1 in the center, and open space for his rook at an early stage. White recovers the pawn and has done well here
Good question! A few moments after 8:33 I describe that White usually plays 3.Nf3 to avoid the additional possibility of 3...e5. It's probably going to work out fine either way, but it's something important to keep in mind. -Dereque
Once again another excellent video...Your insight has provided me some confidence against the D4 opening that I never use and hate playing against....As always ....Muchas Gracias !!!!
Love all your videos. I've watched plenty of chess teachers on the web and your by far the best. You introduce statistics and theory instead of just piece memorization. I've gone from level one on my chess ap (vs cpu) all the way to level 12 (12s the highest) just from watching your videos. Keep up the great work and thank you :)
Thank you for the kind words! The best way to view my thoughts of books moves and why they are played is to examine more of the videos I've uploaded ;-)
Good catch! It would definitely have been a good idea for me to have managed this possibility. After 8.Bxf7+ Kxf7 9.Ng5+ Ke8 10.Qxg4 Qxd4 - White's position still appears slightly uncomfortable but it has been found that he has good chances if he continues with 11.Qe2! (11.Qxd4 Nxd4 is certainly at least fine for Black) 11...Qxe5 12.Be3. When, yes, Black has lot castling rights but has managed to gain a pawn as well. The position is unclear. Thanks for the question! -Dereque
That flank pawn always gets my feathers ruffled! This was great...I'm playing blacks side of the gambit right now and I'll have a chance level up my response...your the best D, thanx!
Yes! At that moment I did not mean to convey that it was a good move (dxc5). The idea was to give an explanation of the arising structure and point out this move is often played at some point (usually after White castles first). Perhaps this was not clear. Thank you!
A tremendous question which shows that you're thinking rather strategically! In a nutshell, the bishop does not have a function on f4 and is not well coordinated with other factors in the position. So White simply waits to decide on the future of this bishop (often he will play e3-e4 at a later stage and then find an appropiate square or he may fianchetto the bishop to b2 where it's potential could suddenly be released at any time), and White uses the time to fulfill more important aims
(1/2) Wonderful to hear that you've picked up the game! The answer to your question also used to mystify and took some digging. Congratulate yourself since …Qxd1 is indeed played just as often as the immediate …Bxc5! There are a few reasons Black can play 7...Bxc5 8.Qxd8+ Kxd8 with a clear conscience. Since queens are being traded, he may reason that his king belongs closer to the -center- rather than tucked away in a castled position.
Thank you very much for the quick reply! I find it amazing how professionals such as yourself see these types of things, not castling because there were less threats on the board didn't cross my mind at all. I didn't notice the loss of tempo either, it's safe to say I'll never be that good at chess.
(2/2) He hopes to profit from the principle that the more pieces are exchanged the greater the importance of having the king in the center (and the safer it is for him to be there).He will play …Ke7 and this doesn’t cost him a tempo since he would have used a tempo on playing …O-O anyway if he had traded on d1. Still, the moves are played with about equal frequency so it seems there is no consensus that one path is objectively better than the other.
Great video! I really like the way you describe the basic ideas behind, and not only variations.Very well explained, and good on bringing out the love for the game. I picked up a lot watching this. Keep it up!
You have some of the better commentary and explanations on UA-cam man, subscribe. Seriously, I clicked over from a gentleman who's audio sounded as if he had indeed mistook his mic for a breathing apparatus of some kind. I really want to make this point stick here... the guy made Darth Vader' s breathing seem subtle.
thanks for your chess-opening lessons. They are extremely useful to get an overview of the various openings. They are made in a very harmonious and didactic senseful way. But one thing i noticed: If white prefers to play 2. Nf3, isn't it possible for black to maintain the pawn on c4 by playing b5 and then c6 after a4? The white queen can't be moved to c3, as there's the knight on that field.
ZachCraft's remark is right on the money. White doesn't like that the pawn lacks protection, but he still finds this to be the best move since it ensures that he can deply his pieces more actively, and pehraps even more important, White still retains an advantage in space. The d4-pawn restricts the opponent's options and constantly threatens to advance itself. Nxd4 would lead to a symmetrical structure without sufficiently superior development for White. Thank you for the question! -Dereque
As was pointed out by Oakenguitar3 4. Na3, ... The point Dereque was making is that BLACK can not hold on to the pawn advantage. 4. If ..., Nc6; or Nf6; or c5; Then 5. Nf3, ...
well i wanted to learn the danish gambit!! even though it has suffered a decline, i still want to learn it especially after the 5th move. i would appreciate if u upload a video on the danish gambit.
Great question! Do not be afraid, Black really is quite lost if he is down the piece! There are many ways you can learn more about the position and wipe out your next opponent who loses the piece. Choose a buddy or computer program and play some quick games on both sides with and without the extra piece. Start by playing with the -Black- pieces so that eventually you begin to fear White! That should get you back to playing the Queen’s Gambit :-)
Thank you for explaining the "be6" move by black. The CPU does this on me all the time and I wasn't seeing the proper lines. Subscribed! Also, you do a really great job of explaining all of the different lines involved, which is VERY helpful for learning. Although correct me if I'm wrong, if you take c5 at the 4 minute mark, black simply takes white's queen, ruining white's ability to castle
Thank you and great question! This is also possible, indeed. Black still has some problems though because if he chooses to castle kingside (as he is likely going to do after ...Qxd1) the king may actually find itself out of play in the queenless middlegames/endgames that arise. So in fact, it's up to Black how he'd like to position is queen and often he does not mind to place it on e7 so ...Bxc5 is just as logical as ...Qxd1.
@Anthony Murray: Also a great question! An immediate 4.a4! followed by advancing the e-pawn to e3 or e4 should be enough to chip away at the pawns and still leave Black is a somewhat compromised and inferior position ;)
Another great video Dereque. I was on chessopenings and was looking forward to lots more video content on openings like Alekhine's Defence and Vienna Game, but was disappointed to see that you have not made vids for these. Any plans in the future to make more openings vids?
(2/2): If I were White I would focus on four missions: a) completing development, b) playing e3-e4, c) attacking the king (the extra center pawn, extra material, and time-consuming maneuvers by Black on the queenside will make this great fun!) d) always making sure that I'm ready to meet ...b4 successfully (mainly by keeping pressure on the c4-pawn, and avoiding Nc3 unless I have made favorable arrangements to play Na4 or Ne4 with impact in reply to ...b4) -Dereque
At point 4:00, is'nt this a bad move because QXQ? Correct me if I'm wrong. At point 3:54 you move the black pawn to c5. At point 4:20, the black pawn c5 takes the pawn at d4. The black pawn has moved two times in a row.
@Dereque Kelley Hey, thank you very much again for the great analysis and explanation about Queen's Gambit! I've learned alot and added some new strategies for my games. Looking forward for your other videos.
great video. the big picture is, if gambit accepted, and then he tries to shore up that pawn (with another pawn or bishop), his new pawn structure is too far from the minor pieces. the pawn structure must be undermined at the base (a4). then the minor pieces behind or vulnerable to many tactical things. bring queen out to attack rook, or your rook attacks rook. he is in trouble!
I generally played the Albin whatever defense against the Queen's gambit. Thanks for the ideas. I don't know if you receive some sort of financial compensation for this, but you're doing a lot for a lot of people. It's not only the chess aspect but other things as well.
@4:00 wouldn't it be stronger to trade Queens for black, before capturing the pawn on c5? If black goes for the symmetrical variation, white can take away his castling rights, yeah? And black can avoid this while also doing the same to white by just trading Queens first?
If you ever in South Africa make sure you go visit a chess tournament. The mix of people is great, and everyone dresses differently with some people in pin-strip suits and others in flip-flops. There is some great tactical chess. The standard of chess has a long way before it is world class but hopefully there will be some Grand Masters on the way. .
If i want to have a quick overview over a new opening i always ALWAYS look for your videos! They are very accurate. But what i like also: The view out of your window! Nice! Where is it? Which town?
The first couple dozen videos were filmed in Downtown Seattle! This is wonderful to hear! The videos involved a lot of work on my part and were a real treat to produce, I'm glad you have found the information helpful! So much came together to make these happen!
Ack, I haven't tried to explain before how one castles, there are a few rules involved. I would try a Google search or even UA-cam search since someone is bound to have covered the rules of castling more extensively on the web. Good luck!
At 10:30 why wouldnt black trade queens first and then take the pawn with his bishop? Same end but he keeps his right to castle but maybe Im missing something
Hey Derek, thanks for all your videos. I've been playing a tournament and played the queens gambit and my opponent accepted and then tried to hold on to the pawn with b5, so i attacked with a4 and he blundered with c6. So after the exchange i played queen to f3 and won the knight in the end. My point is, after the trap he had a queenside pawn majority with 3 to 1, and during the match his pawns started rolling and I had know idea how to stop it and in the end I resigned.
I still don't see what to do in my case. with the first four moves being, pawn to D4, pawn to D5, pawn to C4, pawn to E6. I've watched a couple of videos so far and in the videos they always show pawn taking pawn on C4 but they never show what happens if black decides to move pawn to E6.
Could we get a queen's gambit declined too please?
Nobody is accepting my gambit lol.
Appreciate the suggestion! By the way, The Carlsbad App and app we are currently working on (for IPhone) both deal with the Queen's Gambit Declined.
Kait Sith ouch
no one I play with plays D5 after I Play D4, so I don't know what to do at all lol
Captain Bimble If they play Nf3, you still play c5, then they will play one of the following:
King's Indian Defence
Gruenfeld
Nimzo-indian
Queen's Indian
Benoni
Yeah, that's a lot of openings. But they're all very different. So you need to study a lot in order to play 1.d5
@@CaptBimble if you are d4 player you should know qg and indians :(

Excellent lesson. Thoroughly enjoyed it and greatly appreciate your effort. Thank you so much for these wonderful videos
This video is far superior to the thin and poorly explained vid by Kasparov on the QG. I really feel like I've learned something here. Good job.
at 10:28, when d4 x c5. Why don't black take white queens? It won't lose it castle right that way.
Anyway, very great video.

KebuChess - BEST CHESS VIDEOS ON UA-cam!! One small suggestion for future vids : Sarrat Attack! (1.d4 d5 2.Bf4...)
@yousmellmyunderware Yes, I will cover the QGD at some point in the future :)
Ack, I haven't tried to explain before how one castles, there are a few rules involved. I would try a Google search or even UA-cam search since someone is bound to have covered the rules of castling more extensively on the web. Good luck!
At 10:30 why wouldnt black trade queens first and then take the pawn with his bishop? Same end but he keeps his right to castle but maybe Im missing something
Well done Dereque!,quite beautiful explanation.
Melvyn Gingell Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :)

@ThisSentenceIsFalse Really glad you found it so helpful! -Dereque
I like how he says pawn.
This video is great. Easy to understand.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! Thank you!
Hey Derek, thanks for all your videos. I've been playing a tournament and played the queens gambit and my opponent accepted and then tried to hold on to the pawn with b5, so i attacked with a4 and he blundered with c6. So after the exchange i played queen to f3 and won the knight in the end. My point is, after the trap he had a queenside pawn majority with 3 to 1, and during the match his pawns started rolling and I had know idea how to stop it and in the end I resigned.
I still don't see what to do in my case. with the first four moves being, pawn to D4, pawn to D5, pawn to C4, pawn to E6. I've watched a couple of videos so far and in the videos they always show pawn taking pawn on C4 but they never show what happens if black decides to move pawn to E6.
