GM Neiksans Boot Camp #8 - Sicilian Taimanov

Sicilian Taimanov is one of the most feared Sicilian defense setups after the Najdorf and rightfully so. In many lines, Black gets a very sharp game and if White is not ready, he is in deep trouble very early! Find out, exactly how by watching the GM Neiksans Boot Camp!

This video inspired me to play the taimanov 2 years ago! Thanks for introducing me to my go to response to e4

[@GMNeiksans]

You're welcome!

Thank you, awesome and instructive video

[@rawstberry6816]

Hi! I am starting to learn the taimanov. I am still on 6.Be2 lines and I find difficult for black to fight for the win with Bb5. What do you think? Should I study Nxd4 lines too? Do you recomend something else?

[@GMNeiksans]

Hi, consider also ...d6 setups without Bb4 - then it will be Scheweningen, with plenty chances for counter-attacks later.

This is amazing man. Has to be the most informative video I've ever seen on the Taimanov. Can't thank you enough!

[@GMNeiksans]

Thank you! :)

[@decisivemoment]

Awesome video!! Any chance of you writing a Chessable course about the Taimanov some day?

[@GMNeiksans]

Maybe :)

Hello just discovered your channel from the amazing lesson gotham chess just shared u provided incredible advises thank you so much… i liked in particular patience and be aware of opponents plans my greatest weaknesses…i wanted to ask is ST better than karo can? i’m currently playing KC against e4

[@GMNeiksans]

Hi, thanks! It's a matter of taste - both are great defenses. Caro-Kann is more positional but Taimanov is sharper, like Najdorf.

[@salemtv5808]

@@GMNeiksans thanks i was looking for an alternative cause i hated the aggressive lines in the exchange karo..also gotham mentioned you have courses but checking your channel there’s no mention of that or a website url for that

18:48 can you investigate this suspicious line of Qh4 against the attempted maroczy setup.The computer gives some weird line of sacrificing the e4 pawn

[@warrenpadilla1566]

taimanov var s very popular at that time but after fisher demolished t ,t was never been same again

[@geheibel]

there should be an edit or a time stamp to get to anything informative. 7 minutes of tech issues are a real drag...

[@GMNeiksans]

Yes, timestamps indeed are necessary - very often these are pure videos from the stream, unedited. From time to time I add timestamps to older boot camps for an easier navigation, sorry about that.
