Everyone: Worried because it counters the Grand Prix Me, who doesn't even know what a Grand Prix is.

i know Im quite off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new series online ?

[@jackh6090]

Its crazy to me how much Eric has improved as a KZbinr and a personality. I’ve been watching for 2ish years now, and the work he has put into this is absolutely crazy. Completely new channel.

Me who always played Grand Prix: Oh no

Oh no my opening!

Play around with an engine you can find a counter counter attack

[@onepiecelover9062]

that's why at the Gm level, grand Prix is never appear.

[@bossbaby7105]

Thanks eric to show this!!After watching your lecture in stl club i started playing the grand prix and i was always irritated with this line !!thanks for this

[@johnnyjames2959]

Nice I have not study this yet but I have studied the Mcdonnell attack variation and they work out pretty well. Thanks Eric I wanna see this through

[@abusethesun]

Anyone else feel like she was holding back saying "yes, I've seen all of this"?

[@arivertoeveryone]

yep kind of

[@howard5992]

Yeah, but it didn't matter, as Eric got to show some lines and theory. Still, it gave it a funny sort of "this is really all just an excuse to flirt" sort of vibe.

[@ts4gv]

yep. cringe.

These are great lines.

[@atharvapatil396]

Hi Eric, what about 4. Nf3 Nf6 (0:58) What should be the continuation then?

[@cyxemath6600]

e5+d4 for white and you transpose into a french which is imo easier for white

[@PeterSodhi]

Eric is such an awesome person...

[@ericbhatnagar2873]

I always play the Smith-Morra gambit against the Sicilian to dodge theory. I'm about 1600-1700 and started to have mixed results with it. Is the grand prix worth a shot for an aggressive player trying to climb?

[@CheapShotFail]

I still get reliable wins with the morra at expert level OTB but it requires an immense amount of prep, and a few opponents either decline the gambit or go straight for the drawish lines. All of the losses I had came solely from me not remembering theory or misplaying a winning position. That said, if you haven't put a lot of time into learning it I would recommend switching to something more solid. It's certainly still a good option to mix things up against opponents you play a lot, and can get you some fast wins, but I don't think you can rely on it as your sole response to 1...c5. In fact, even Esserman (Mayhem in the Morra author) plays other variations as white now. Honestly I'm kind of curious about the grand prix now especially after Rosen said it got him from 2000 to 2200. I'll be looking into this variation, but certainly the open sicilian, king's indian, or a number of other variations seem good as well.

[@michaelvanzyl9418]

After Bb5, Ne7, Qe2 isn’t f6 the main move? I’m disappointed 😪

[@MichaelCheng628]

Always play f6

[@24Cristiandiaz]

Oh no my Grang Prix!!!

[@ifbfmto9338]

Grand Prix isn’t awful at all, but yes early d5 and black gets a fine position

[@MeowPau]

That is a CURSED thumbnail

[@yorickstrangefield2976]

Keeping the tension is one of the hardest things for lower-rated players to grasp: they almost always release the tension. Masters are much better at keeping the tension. (As an Expert I struggle with keeping the tension myself: this is one reason I'm not yet a master.)

[@colins1358]

agreed

[@KF1]

I noticed that you capitalized "expert". Is that a title?

[@Eraughtan]

@@KF1 Definitely not.

[@ezehemmanuel8223]

PLS Eric I really enjoy all you videos. It helped me improve so much that I started teaching my chess mate . PLS am a grand prix player but since I got to 2200+ I have been having a big problem winning my games with grand prix. PLS Eric I would be very grateful if you could make a long video about grand prix basically on black early centre attack and Bb5 and some of the basic theory I need. PLS Eric

[@JohnWalker-yb5kh]

As a Sicilian player the Grand Prix is the one I fear the worse.

[@giovannispinotti]

Really? I do play the grand prix but I often feel I don't end up with easy positions and black almost seems to just enjoy themselves.

Can you play more grand prix please? :)

[@user-vr5uw6gd6f]

Fear the man who practiced a kicked a thousand times not the man who knows 30000 kicks. Nothing wrong with grand prix at 2000. It's a solid opening and at worst your equal

[@joesotham]

What is to not 'like'. Sheesh.
