The Ruy Lopez of d4 openings · Road to 2500, Game 30

[@LG-fp9ji]

That was a clean game! Very nicely done :) The enthusiastic "now let's see my queen vs pawn technique!" right after missing 66. Qh1+ was also golden ahah

[@humansareweird2866]

Without having watched the whole game,I remember what my coach had told me about whether to trade queens or not.The most important factor is whose king is weaker and here it's definitely not white's.

I was looking at Rxd5 already at 19:50 after Qh7, and after putting it manually into the analysis board Stockfish says it's the best move

[@thinboxdictator6720]

I was looking at it too,but wasn't sure. but it was deffinitely best after Qf5

[@karmaneh]

Well played Stjepan! Congrats on the new peak :)

[@mikescott1090]

At 22:19 Always sac. the exchange! Live by the rules of GM Ben Finegold and good things will happen, even if you (like me) don't understand why you are doing it.

[@sebastianjorgebigi6920]

Thats very good tecnique right there, congrats

[@thegametwok]

Congtars on getting to 2300!

[@David-le8ik]

Qd6 wouldnt there have been Nxe4?

[@joaop2139]

yeah, winning the game...

[@JerkyTreats]

I like when you mouse hover the different lines you're calculating. It can be hard to follow the lines when you just speak the moves.

[@godzillaninja1644]

I know I'm late commenting on this one, but I was pulling so hard for you to get the win!

[@thirdEye915]

Roaring with you 🎉🎉

[@Thechessnerd37]

Can you please do a detailed guide vedio on the reti opening ?

[@adrianross7615]

The reti has many systems and ideas, what do you mean by the reti opening?

[@Thechessnerd37]

​@@adrianross7615 He can do a list of vedios on the opening Like he did with the english opening for example

[@Sickerror]

I thought QGD was the Ruy Lopez of d4... hm...

[@redmardamsma7917]

I had Exactly the same thought!

[@drdularekhan6772]

Why you do not avoid nimzo

[@cz19856]

why do you post stupid questions?

[@adityakumarmishra6952]

Na that would be the catalan ;)

[@crugy7]

Disagree. It misses the history and became popular only too recently. The g3 Bg2 setup also allows for less diverse pawn structures than the nimzo.

[@abololla65n]

i love your vedios put it's very long 30 min enough No increase

[@drdularekhan6772]

Lasker was not a GM

[@ChessHoodie]

The title didn't exist at the time, but he was a world champion and played on a level that would constitute a top level GM in today's terms. Furthermore he was a sort of amateur chess player who was the best in the world, with PHD, and with a variety of interests besides chess in the era when resources for chess improvement were scarce ( and yet he played better than most of the modern GMs who have all the resources available). Unless you are trolling, your comment is really sad and disrespectful
