Thank you. My opponents around 2k rating usually stop and think on move 2 vs Nc3. This is a great option.

[@MoltonChess]

I played it the other day in the Asian Nations Cup and 2150 opponent also thought for long time so you are right!

[@mikestubbs1708]

Certainly some interesting moves here, so many thanks for this coverage!

[@calculatrguy]

Fantastic video, I was exploring this line as an alt to g3 and this really helps

[@MoltonChess]

Glad to hear

Thank you, this video helped me win a miniature against a 1850 in OTB classical

Glad to hear!

Superb presentation. Someone who isn't on speed(of some kind)/ego trip. The comment below is right on target-I would like to think your subscriptions would grow geometrically in the future. Good luck!

TY!

Thankyou for your reply (Molton) - it is a very good video which I am keen to learn

No worries!

Thanks!

Very nice signposting between diff variations

[@MoltonChess]

Thanks for Watching

[@rizka7945]

11:47 I reached this position with 10.c3 in a classical tournament game last weekend. Instead of taking, he found the best defence 10...d5. After spending some time, I played 11.cxd4. If he would have found 11...Bb8, he would have reached a reasonable position. Instead, I should have played 11.exd5 and after 11...exd5 simply 12.O-O and white seems to reach a nice advantage.

[@MoltonChess]

Yes that's a nice variation with 0-0 at the end

[@claudeplante2230]

Allo Molton, thank you for your video, very well done. What is your line if your opponent do not play Nc6 ?

[@MoltonChess]

I usually play an Open Sicilian and maybe choose a simple setup such as g3 or another. Or you could transpose to another Anti Sicilian

[@abu0010ify]

GODDAMN THIS SLAPS

[@MoltonChess]

TY

[@zecorto6380]

I watching the video, loaded new game he played sicilian and got his queen, i subbed (:

[@MoltonChess]

Nice! Well done

[@clarencepsaila4743]

Around min 12:45 after Black plays ...a6 then Bb3 is just crushing, the idea is to keep the Knight there, then play Be3 and sac on d6 with Bc5 pinning the Queen. Black just does not have anything to do , and if Rb7 then Na7 - the White advantage seems very large to me

[@MoltonChess]

Yep I believe you are right this Nxd6 and Bc5 idea I actually had happen once in a real game

[@chessknight1868]

Please provide more explanation. Why 5. Ne2 is your favorite move after 4...e6 instead of 5. Nf3?

[@MoltonChess]

It might transpose but some people might take your knight. In which case the queen on e2 is better placed since you can easily follow up with f4 plan next.

[@chessknight1868]

@@MoltonChess Thanks for the reply. That's what I guessed!

[@radhabinodenandi]

Did you see the Eric Rosen video, or did he see your video?

[@pranithsepuri3862]

Great video, what about 2.d6?

[@MoltonChess]

I didn't cover 2...d6 in this but I suppose you could play f4 like a Grand Prix Attack and go for bb5 later

[@pranithsepuri3862]

@@MoltonChess Thanks, As white after e4 e5 what do you recommend I play? 1900 Lichess

[@MoltonChess]

@@pranithsepuri3862 I don't think it matters too much just choose something you like and learn it well. Ruy Lopez, Italian, Scotch, Scotch Gambit, among others. It's more important you know whichever one you choose well.

[@curtisw0234]

2... e6 gottem

[@MoltonChess]

:)

[@zwebzz9685]

Do you have any recommendations for 1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 a6

[@MoltonChess]

Might be easiest to go back into a open Sicilian and learn a simple system like g3 or f4 to play against everything there. Otherwise could play a closed Sicilian or something else. Unfortunately we cant get in Bb5 there

[@kingsleymaharajah7833]

Molton just crafted an entire Opening repertoire for Magnus in his next world championship defense 😲

[@MoltonChess]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@user-ri3lh6gz1v]

what about 2... a6?

[@MoltonChess]

You might have to play f4 and/or go back into a open Sicilian. I might cover this separately later

[@wendychan6679]

What is the best way for white to respond if black chooses to protect the knight on c6 with either Qc7 or Qb6. I have encountered quite a few players who play this but none of te videos I have seen cover this move.

[@MoltonChess]

Hi Wendy, I think I cover this at the start of the video @ 3...Qb6 - 00:56 since Qc7 will be very similar and most likely transpose

[@emmahams3174]

Now i come to steal moves from molten before I play my friends....they are suprised how am coming up with chess tricks
