[@chesswithcoachmark]

Hey guys! Did you enjoy this video? Would you like me to put posting a video on the England Gambit at the top of the priority list?

[@EverythingGamer12]

Yes

[@EverythingGamer12]

Yes

[@fido1357]

Yes please! I've adopted the stonewall attack as my main opening since watching your series on it, but this is the black opening that turns my plans to ashes.

[@chesswithcoachmark]

Hi Fido, so glad to hear you're using the Stonewall. Are you having pretty good success with it?

[@chesswithcoachmark]

Noted :)

[@gregdobrick3410]

I haven’t watched the video yet, but I’m pumped. I lose too this every time.

[@chesswithcoachmark]

Hey Greg, awesome! I hope it was useful for you at least for that one line.

This is THE best explanation on how to face the EG.. thank you so much….as a d4 player may i ask you to recommend how to face the f4 dutch (L & Classical) and the bird opening…

[@chesswithcoachmark]

Hey Salem, you're quite welcome and glad to hear it. For the Dutch, I'm going to recommend the Bg5 setup on move 2. The idea is to not allow black to play an early Nf6 as you will simply take it and leave black with an unhealthy pawn structure. The basic setup for white with this is you will play d4, then Bg5, then e3, then Nc3, you will castle long, and push your h pawn down the board to tear down the structure. If you play Bg5 and black plays h6, you drop your bishop back to h4 and if they play g5, you play e3 and they cannot trap your bishop or take it because you're threatening Qh5# OUCH!. I think it's a very good setup. For the Bird's opening I'm going to recommend you research the From's Gambit with 1.e5. Very good way to combat the Bird. Good luck!

[@salemtv5808]

@ thank you so much…the anti dutch lines looks very solid i’m very happy with it but whenever i try the from i discover that most bird players are also kings gambit expert and they take me into uncharted waters so i was looking for a solid equalizing line rather than gambit :) im sure you know what i mean…y don’t u consider making pgn courses and offering them for sale like Bog Mio

[@chesswithcoachmark]

lol, that's hilarious. I have already considered that and am currently working on that very thing with the PGN files. At some point down the road, I plan to advertise my entire repertoire to be used in conjunction with my chess software call Chess Position Trainer (which is very cheap), although the PGN files can be used in many other sources of course. By the way, who is Bog Mio? Thanks for the suggestion.

[@salemtv5808]

@ sorry that was Big Mio aka The Butcher a great very under rated chess channel

[@chesswithcoachmark]

Oh yes, I love the Butcher! He's been featured many times with the ChessBrahs who I've kept up with for years.

[@kenpawn5876]

I like the Englund however the Borg Defense peaks my interest.

[@markmenees]
