Catalan - The System for Black with IM Andrei Ostrovskiy

[@khguyvbugv1267]

I watched this video the night before a classical tournament and i won against a CM with black, first time i beat a player this strong

[@jeffgreen3376]

This is a great system. I tried several defenses against the Catalan (Queen's Indian, Reverse Colle and even The Dutch) and nothing else worked. Thanks, Andrei.

This video is golden. Thank you so much. I'm an e4 player, and as black, sort of struggle vs 1d4 at my peak rating level~ Which is around 2050 elo.. I do fine in e4 positions, but as black I struggle. I often play 1...d5 vs d4, aiming for the slav. But after nf3, nf6, g3!?* I'm often lost for plans. Play continuing with e6, Bg2.. I'm no longer in a slav~ But a Catalan esque position and I was lost. Thank you for this. More videos on this please!

Glad you like it!

[@ryanblake3272]

I have a question/idea when getting the Catalan setup would It be possible to go Bf5 before e6?

[@thimojansen5136]

No
