Another excellent video! Thank-you. And my absolute favorite moment is at 10:18, when Dr. Can, flanked by ravens, launches a mocking, evil laugh at his opponent... (Playing the villain from a low-budget James Bond pastiche?)
Great lesson! I like how Dr. Can used a previous "homework" assignment to reinforce the current lesson's concept of knight burial. Lessons, building on lessons, building on lesson. . .
Ah, great one! And I am happy you showed the moves when the opponent tries to play the English opening. Once in a while I play on the board with a stronger player and he likes to play c4. As I am used to play the Caro-Kann being Black, I like the c6 move anyway 😀(He didn't like that c6 move, he said it wasn't sound haha.) I really want to take your course 'The Art of Burying Pieces'! But first I like to finish the current one I am taking (The Art of Awaking Pieces). I just finished your 'Fundamental Chess Calculation Skills'. It was great, it is great. I keep repeating the puzzles to integrate the skills more and more in my games. Thank you for your courses and instructive UA-cam videos.
Awesome Video!! I'm currently in the 2100s on lichess and learned a lot from this video! Thanks! I, too, would likely have played Bg6 without hesitation before
Thank you for this feedback! It is really underappreciated even for strong players like you. I was surprised when I saw that. Hope you will use it successfully in your games!
Excellent. My instinctive reaction is to retreat the bishop. I did not consider burying the enemy pieces. I am excited to try this out. I think I need to buy your Art of Burying Pieces course. I am not quite done yet with your Activating Pieces course.
What an eye-opening concept. I have always played Bg6 in a situation like this because I thought, well, either I get doubled pawns or they play f3 and then I have to go to g6 anyway. I had no idea that both the doubled pawns and f3 are actually good for black. But yeah, that knight does suck and even on g2 it will be stuck for a long time. However, I think this is the kind of concept where, even if I apply it, I might not know how to follow through properly. I could totally see myself giving White too much time to maneuver their knight around, and then maybe my doubled pawn actually does turn from an asset into a liability. It's very hard to stay consistent and keep track of your plans for an extended period of time
Omg I started playing the slav again today and I wanted to start taking it seriously to make it my main opening against d5. And if you made a slav course Id buy it instantly! Because I know I would understand every move from move 1. I love your videos and I love your slav videos too. I am excited to do your course one day. Because if you do an opening... Its not an opening course. You make courses about thinking and chess. And I know your course would help me learn other openings too.
Great video. I would have tended to move my bishop back to g6/g2 without thought, thinking that NxB would open up the rook file against the enemy king. My opponents tend to think the same as well, and tend not to take the Bishop for the same reason. But, interesting to see the positional advantages of your recommendation. Will defiinitely start trying that out in OTB games.
A classic priyome to remember against Nh4/h5! The other move to consider is Bg4/g5 to not give up the bishop pair without further weaknesses from your opponent!
Hi Can! Awesome video as always! Could you maybe tell me, how the starting position of the video could be reached? I mean the move order. Because if you take the light square bishop out as black white will capture cxd5 and then put the Queen on b3 with double attack, no?
Hey! It comes from this move order (Nf3 can replace Nc3): 1. d4 d5 2. c4 c6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e3 Bf5 5. Nf3 e6 If White responds to ...Bf5 with cxd5 cxd5 Qb3, Black has a very interesting pawn sac with ...Nc6! I analysed it in my Slav video for newbies!
I play London system and the position can arise with reversed colours . Thank you for the positional advise . Request you to do a Chessable course based on the book - Rethinking the Chess pieces 🙏
And I play the Slav and didn't know about this awesome idea. The art of burying your opponent's pieces... a MUST HAVE chessable course, I just need to buy it now.
Absolutely love this channel. Thanks Dr Can for all the videos.
Absolutely loving your feedback ❤️
Absolutely fantastic lesson as always! Your passion is indeed contagious! Thank you Dr. Can!
❤️ So motivating!

Haha I lost myself and had that villain laugh... Wow! Thanks for bringing that into my realization! With Huginn and Muninn on my shoulders...
@@Dr.CansClinic 😈😂
Excellent video...I never seen this concept but its really great positional chess....thanks dr can
Thank you! Glad to hear I taught you something :)

Lessons, building on lessons, building on lesson. . .
Thank you! Bringing some reinforcements there ☺️
Consistent quality content. Thank you😊
☺️🙏 Thank you!
As always excellent! I do like the way you use previous homework examples to reinforce the ideas, it helps the pattern recognition process 👍
Thank you so much! Reinforcement is great for consolidation indeed!
Great video essay! This video is great on taming the knight! I’ve been learning from your videos!
❤️ So happy to hear it!

The second example can easily come from the Jobava London. I like that opening and will have to remember this.
Indeed! Hope you will be able to apply it in your games!
Excellent lesson Dr Can. ALWAYS worth watching.
Thank you so much for your kind thoughts 🙏

Thank you, Dan! You are a London player, so you really need to know this pattern!

❤️ Such amazing feedback! Really motivated to work on that course. But I need to finish the blunder course first ☺️ Slowly getting there!
Ill take em both! Lol@@Dr.CansClinic
That is indeed a useful bit of knowledge! Thank You!
Glad it was useful, thanks! :)

My plasure! It is really an underappreciated pattern. Please leave a comment here once you tried it in your OTB games!
Somebody played it against me yesterday in a league match and I had to be very careful not to lose a piece afterwards
Ouch! Good that you managed to save the piece!
A classic priyome to remember against Nh4/h5! The other move to consider is Bg4/g5 to not give up the bishop pair without further weaknesses from your opponent!
Beautiful priyome indeed! I wonder whether there is a more intuitive word that could replace it...
@@Dr.CansClinic positional pattern maybe?
Hi Can! Awesome video as always! Could you maybe tell me, how the starting position of the video could be reached? I mean the move order. Because if you take the light square bishop out as black white will capture cxd5 and then put the Queen on b3 with double attack, no?

Simply create an epidemic and there will be no life left in your opponents animals 😅
Great content- thanks !
😅 🙏
Very nice...
Again its always the word picture that drives and solidifies the pattern for me...
Thank you Dr Can i didn't consider this.
My pleasure! Hope you will use it one day :)
Great tactical ides!
Thank you so much for your kind feedback!
Excellent.
❤️
This ploy worked like a dream and I won a game thanks to this move.
Amazing to hear that!! Congrats!
I play London system and the position can arise with reversed colours . Thank you for the positional advise .
Request you to do a Chessable course based on the book - Rethinking the Chess pieces 🙏
Thank you for the recommendation! Will think about it.
What if the knight doesn't take the bishop on e4 or d4? It doesn't have to.
Did you watch the rest of the video?
Then we are happy to play the position with an enemy knight on the rim...
This is blowing my mind.
🙏
Thank you coach waiting for your next upload.. Mabuhay and God bless..
My pleasure,thank you so much!
And I play the Slav and didn't know about this awesome idea. The art of burying your opponent's pieces... a MUST HAVE chessable course, I just need to buy it now.
Happy to have helped you! Many people don't know this idea at all. Thank you for considering to buy the course!
Thank you so much . Looking forward to it .
the Covid Attack !!!! Dr. C... always excellent content ....
The Covid Attack! Like that term! ☺️ Thank you!
Yes, chess is beautyful...😊
It really is!
COVID 19 for black😂
The epidemy spreads! They need to quarantine the place.
Very nice...
Again its always the word picture that drives and solidifies the pattern for me...
Thank you! Which word picture did you use this time? Burying Pieces? Covid 19 😅
