I never knew the Petrov could be this aggressive 🤔... Love your content Broe, you just gained a sub 😁

[@michechess]

It's also depending on the line White plays, but yeah, there are chances to make more dynamic! Thanks so much! And enjoy the Content 😉👍🏻

[@mohamedlakehal3393]

Loved this video. Happen to have the PNG for it?

[@michechess]

I have it in my PC, but can't find it right now. Will let you know if I see it later...

[@lewisdc14]

@@michechess thanks a ton! Much appreciated. Great line and analysis.

[@jakekornblatt5219]

In the classical attack, after Bd3, why aren't you reinforcing the knight with your light squared bishop? (16:13)

[@michechess]

I guess it's perfectly playable, but there are some disadvantages: - You are not developing the Kingside to castle ASAP - This Bishop can go to g4 instead in some positions and create some threats over there - The Knight is like pinned over the diagonal, so, if the pressure on e4 is too much later, they could be getting material as the Bishop on f5 is hanging. Summing up, I would say it's playable, but not the best. Hope this helps

I would like to learn Petroff Defense Khufmann Variation but I could not find it.

[@michechess]

White doesn't play that so often, focus on the main lines first

[@kosannminn1778]

@@michechess Yes. I also play the main line but I would like to prepare this very rare variation in advance to amaze/surprise my opponent.

[@michechess]

I see... You mean play that line as White

Please help, if 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5.Qe2 how should black answer ? Moreover, 6. d3 thanks a lot

[@michechess]

Only move is 5. ... Qe7 in that position, but Black is totally OK then.

[@tanadihensen73]

@@michechess thanks, very good, GM. It could prevent black from losing his knight , as if white plays d3 black replies Nf6 , black only lose his castling chance if white proceeds Qxe7. Thanks again.

[@michechess]

My pleasure! Actually you don't lose the castling, as you can take back with the Bishop (Bxe7)

[@TheRealMc99]

Does any of you experience players even at 900 are playing the main lines? I used to be at a 1000-1200 but i went all the way down to 700! An I swear that the players were even better than some of the players at even 1200

[@michechess]

Hi, thanks for commenting! Sorry your rating went down, it's probably going up again soon... that's the thing with the rating, Students face mainlines, but not so often

[@TheRealMc99]

@@michechess I know! But the thing id that I studied a couple of openings and traps and i won a lot of games. An then it seemed like the game gave me computers to play against. They were playing the best move possible in every game. Like stockfish engine moves. Because most 700-800 players don't play like that!

[@michechess]

Ohh, I see what you mean, It happens from time to time, but also if their accuracy is more than 95% in games of 20 moves or more, they are probably cheating, so you can report them
