I thought about how I wanted to learn this opening and it sucks that you probably don't have a video on it, but I got lucky and you just so happened to upload it 8 days ago
From what I have read it seems that the reason Nc3 is sometimes played is to avoid the sideline Ba6. It seems to score decently for black compared to the mainline. It often results in a wierd benoni position where the bishop on a6 puts pressure on the c4 pawn, which deflects the queen off of the d file. It also sometimes results in a maroczy bind structure where black has more control over the d4 square since the white queen moved to c2. It seems to me from what I have seen like a matter of preference whether you want to allow the Ba6 sideline of the Petrosian QID, or enter the B6 variation of the two knights nimzo. I am sure there are other reasons, this is just what I have seen.
When I was learning chess in the 1960s, I had a little book by Fred Reinfeld about openings, and he disparaged the Queen's Indian, calling it "weak", IIRC. That was when I began to doubt conventional wisdom of all kinds, because obviously the strategy behind the opening is sound and it's not a explosive tactical battle like the King's Gambit or the Budapest. I'd like to mention that the two-bishop sacrifice in the second game is nothing new, but still amazing. I think both Steinitz and Tarrasch won games that way.
@30:00 I know it is off topic, but I am sure I have seen Alekhine do that with his bishops in the Dutch. I am convinced that theory from the indian openings works well when combined with the Dutch.
That "guy" GM Finegold is THE best teacher worldwide and he is actually giving what anyone's REALLY need, not how to win a game, but how to really UNDERSTAND chess , only thing is you are so ignorant that even dare to tell Ben what to teach...

Thank you Patrick Wheeler! But also Ben!
In 1984, Korchnoi was 53, which is almost as old as Ben is today.

I've been trying out the Queen's Indian lately, so this is helpful!
Thank you
Always interesting To catch the airs from atlanta and have another lecture ;as usual perfect stuff from Grandmaster Ben
thank you Ben
Does anyone know what the going rate on sponsoring a lecture is? I don't want to waste Karen's time inquiring if it's out of my price range.
250 USD I believe?
@@steven99456iirc that is about right.
I think i just saw Buddy Pranav Play this against Nihal in TT Last Round. 😅
-Haha!! Now your pawn is blocking your bishop
“I can’t believe he said that..”

Your voice seems different

This guy is always teaching us openings and tactics but he needs to get to the stuff people really wanna see , how to win a game.
Just let him play every move for you! should suffice 👍
