Great game, thanks for showing us. I had this zigzag pattern in a Sicilian once as the winning side… didn’t find it, went onto trade into a difficult endgame and lose.
There is another famous game featuring the backwards queen zigzag pattern: Yusupov-Ivanchuk, game 8 from their candidates match. Would love to see a video with an analysis on this game in the Know Thy Classics series.
This game reminds me a little bit of Nimzowitsch - Capablanca, New York 1927. Capablanca has the most razor thin of advantage in the form of just a little bit more harmonious development, and he manages to slowly improve his position by constantly developing in a way that just makes it difficult for his opponent to stop and rest.
I really wonder how Capablanca would keep up in our era, I am certain with the modern tools we have nowadays he’d be dominating his way through the competition even being a threat to the likes of Magnus and Garry
In the video you mention state that you usually don't recommend students study Capablanca. I've heard a similar non-recommendation for Karpov. Which players do you recommend a club-level player study?
At 10:36 you ask the question: Why is x move a blunder? I think this is a really bad question from an educational point of view, as it teaches you to think to justify a view of the move instead of staying objective. Which is already one of the most difficult factors of chess. Great video otherwise!
Capa was a monster! Great demonstration of his talent!
My favorite series!
What a game! The sequences at the end were brilliant.

I think he'd be very similar to Magnus.
Hello, congrats for the good stuff. It might have been better if this series appears more often
Coach Andras, the game database I found does have the move order as 3. e3 for white by the way even though you said it was not book order.
Lets goo! Love it bro!
Last minute calculation prep
Lol, that zigzag made me laugh out loud.
Thank you for the content sir, if you were to go back in time though, do you think you'd beat Capablanca, Morphy with your modern knowledge?
Morphy yes; Capablanca maybe.
Day 1 of asking how i could get a private lesson if you still do them. Love your teaching style.

Morphy -Alekhine should be everyone's first two
after that you can branch out more based on taste.

This game felt pretty easy. Bring in the boys and knock on your opponents king side door
Other than Morphy, is there anyone else you'd recommend lower rated players study? Asking for a friend, lol.
Charlie Files when???
My favorite series returns! However, the Charlie Files may soon overtake it ;)
Thanks!
Whoa, thanks so much!
