Classical Variation of the Queen’s Gambit Declined

[@kirkd1631]

Thank you, best structure of a QGD Video and you explain well why certain moves make sense or less.

[@antoniolopezandres1081]

Good videos for learn the queen's gambit. this guy is really an excellent teacher !!

[@subhrajyoti1]

Today I played d4 and my opponent played qgd I played the exchange variation that you showed ... Was something like +8 but lost on time sadly 😅😅 ( I also had an octopus knight had pushed e5 and made my Outpost on d6)

[@HangingPawns]

:D Nice one!

[@JH_Phillips]

Amazing overview! Thanks so much!!

[@altrfryd5859]

The guy actually knows what he's talking about

[@spd7693]

Usually I go like this: If you fear a move, prevent it, make it illegal in the best case. If you can do nothing about preventing it, then simply exchange the piece. But how can I go against that Qc2? Ironically, I also play it often when facing Nimzo-Indian, Ragozin or if I play against QGD. Keep in mind I play 3. Nf3 and not 3. Nc3, which takes it to the Neo-Modern variation. I guess you'll showcase it when you show the Tartakower defence. AFAIK, usually the Neo-Modern variation transposes to it.

Are you going to make a video about the KIA and English after you are finished with the d4 openings?

[@HangingPawns]

Yup.

[@madm00se97]

Hey Stjepan, could you please give me some advice? I'm about 1650 rated and I feel that I'm good at attacking and finding tactics, but my defendind is poor - I often find myself up an exchange or a piece and then fall apart not being able to defend a counterattack and draw/lose - my anticipation of opponent's threats is very poor. Are there any decent books that can help with that or good exercises that you know?

This video was rly helping for me

Love your Videos u should do collab with agademator

19:10 A line I like better for black is 9. cxd5 cxd4 10. Nxd4 Nxd5 11. Bxe7 Nxe7 Black still has problems with the light square bishop, but also refuses to accept an unfavorable IQP.

[@Christian-jq6er]

thanks for these videos. really helped my theory. :)

[@LeventK]

22:28 After white castles, what about Kh8 to be ready for the open g file?

[@spicygamer1237]

i think its just too slow bro considering there is already a bishop and queen battery pointing at your king,and u still have to manage your iqp:>>

[@danhub2700]

Why not join a 5 or 10 minutes themed tournament and put your research to use? So we can copy/learn from your games, That'd be cool! 😎

[@ramprasadshendge3897]

Realy helpful

[@DonaldSjervenE]

There have been some videos on the minority attack where AlphaZero has been nonplussed by it. It's possible the attack may be unsound.

[@HangingPawns]

Hmm. Have any links to those?

[@DonaldSjervenE]

@@HangingPawns Just looking them up myself now. Here's 2 titled with the QGD. One even has a human playing similarly as a result. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKa5eWxvmtSLebM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKSnc5pveriMg8k

great great video

[@violetayapur6499]

what do you recomend if im playing against a higher rated opponent and i only need a draw

[@tomosaurus2956]

Can you make a video about the chekhover sicilian (e4 c5 nf3 d6 d4 cxd4 qxd4)

[@danhub2700]

Tempos on the queen ughh

[@tomosaurus2956]

@@danhub2700 no after nc6 just play bb5

[@danhub2700]

I got beat yesterday by it:/ and I quite like the Scandinavian! But I hate losing tempos... unless I know what I'm doing so I kinda get it.

[@danhub2700]

The Q like a boss on D4

[@danhub2700]

One problem is most lower rated chess players don't follow real lines:/ we must learn to play good chess first.

@@kavyanshagrawal5279 lmao is that what you got:(

[@danhub2700]

@@kavyanshagrawal5279 I love learning about it but alot of time doesn't happen but the idea and overview is nice to have. Of course it's interesting to know and I am very greatful for these videos( I'm a low rated player too!)

[@C4GeneralF]

if you know the theory of an opening, and then see something that is not part of it, it usually isn't a theoretical move for a reason, and that challenges you to figure out why that move is uncommon (and likely bad or simply not good)

[@thomasedgerley7453]

The reason to learn theory is to know how to punish it once theory isn't played. I'm a lower rated player, with a few good openings, but they haven't really helped, I'm studying middlegames more instead, I'm finding it a lot more useful at lower levels.

[@ajithkumara7870]

How can we get pgn for your videos

[@franckauger9490]

Utile, structuré, bien pour travailler !

[@calebchang4344]

Why e takes d4 and not kb4 instead? White no longer has a isolated pawn and his knight is centralized

[@kylen6430]

Do you mean after black plays cxd4, Nxd4 instead? If so, it’s because white wants the pawn on d4 to control e5 and c5 squares...otherwise black can use them
