Exactly what i was looking for to go together with the course! Maybe the video could use a catchier title as it is a little dry at the moment in my opinion. Maybe include a key idea or moment from the games in the video to draw more eyes. A good example would be naroditsky's speedrun titles if you wanna go that way. Thanks for the instructive content!
Great games - really good appendices to the Chessable course. The final game was won by this stage anyway, but at 23:49 it looks like you can snap off the knight with Qxd7 after black plays ...Qa8??.
In the first and third games, you talked about the process of playing aggressively vs simply continuing to develop. You chose to play aggressively and apply pressure in both games. What factors do you consider when making that kind of decision?
Good question, and if it's often a tough decision. In the first game I had good control of the center and my opponent was wasting some time moving the same piece, so I felt justified to go on the offensive. In general though you will rarely go wrong by continuing to develop.
I appreciate it! I am currently working on my Semi-Slav course. Combined with my Nimzowitsch Sicilian course (already out) that will be a full Black repertoire.
@@natesolon Ah yes I thought there was some way out of losing the piece but didn't notcie that. I love your course btw, I think I'm number 4/5 on the all time score leaderboard. It's given me plenty of strong opening advantages since I started playing it
Small nitpick: What you are calling the Reti is actually the Zukertort. "Sometimes the name 'Réti Opening' is used for the opening move 1.Nf3, although most sources define the Réti more narrowly as the sequence 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4."

Awesome - just bought the nf3 course. It would be great to get a universal black system based on the same framework as your nf3 course.

This is awesome!! Thnx!! Looking forward to watching these all the way up!!
Thanks for the video! Im excited to see the series progress and watch the complexity of games change as the climb continues. Good stuff!
Oh wow! Finally! Thankyou very much.
Would really like to see more Ret repertoire games against higher rated opponents. These guys made things to easy.
Thanks for doing this!
at 13.38 was Nd6 a blunder? he could play rook takes?
Oops, I didn't see that. I guess I can still respond to Rxd6 with Rb5.
