I used to play this line as black, I love to see d5 Nf6 Nc3 it’s not good for white due to b5!! You should look into it because it could have been sad to face in classical d5 isn’t good for white
@flipi1219 күн бұрын
Hey Drummer. Absolutely right - personally I could still maybe make some case for d5 itself but following up with nc3 is asking for trouble. In hindsight I think black was also taken by surprise. Did you ever get many chances to play b5 OTB yourself?

@flipi1219 күн бұрын
Hi Melody. Thanks for checking the video. Yea they did have a QGA but definitely neither of them would have played into this line - it's not optimal for either side (depending whose move you look at), though I would say white is the ones that deviates first from what you might expect them to play. D4 is pretty great, since I changed to it 2y back it has grown on me a lot.

Hi Dev, thank you for the question. You have to match the information from the bank account you will connect to the credit card. So SURNAME must be same and then FIRST NAME+MIDDLE NAME(S) must be the same, without spaces, as far as you can write it. In either case, if your name(s) are too long, just input them as far as you can 👌 (btw - Surname = Last name. So just double check which names are written where for your bank account)

I really enjoyed this Flipi! I like the simple layout, makes it easy quite easy on the eyes. Only point would be at the end where you show the graph for like 1 second. I guess you thought we couldn't see it. These types of videos are great for your own improvement I think, a great way to go through your game to learn things. One thing that would be interesting to see are mentions of other moves you considered and why you didn't go for them. You briefly mentioned it on the rook sac, but it wasn't clear to me if you didn't really consider it at all or if you did and you dismissed it for some reason. Great video overall!

@@flipi12 OK...well it is very detailed which is a good thing, but I feel it is too long, I think it would be better to be detailed about a few particular positions rather than every move. Moreover, I think you could have fit in highlights of multiple games rather than just doing the one. You played six rounds, so at this rate, we will need to watch 3 hours of video to find out what happened, that is a huge investment of time. Overall, I like hearing from club players on their thinking process, so I think the video is good for players like us.
