[@PriveGitaarles]

thanks , great analysis as usual

[@Lightysword]

The Dutch is a fun opening. Thanks for covering this. I really hope it gets some more love in the feature, this great opening.

[@davidmurvai40]

I love the Dutch and especially the Stonewall. Great game and commentary. Cheers

[@GekkeToine]

Love chess... Used to not have the patience for it. Now these games get me hyped as fuck.

[@dareyfairy]

right on

[@johnrafaelferrer9824]

I love how you explained it! Very discerning on both sides.

[@mcchang1032]

Awesome vid, thanks. You must have been overjoyed to see Magnus even touching that F-pawn in the opening!

[@Magnet54]

Excellent walk through.Thank you very much KC.

[@iehudim]

thank you very much, from southern Brazil

[@QuiksiIver]

nice! have played hundreds of dutch stonewall, nice to see i am playing roughly the same moves i do. generally try to hang onto both bishops and stack the queenside while fending off a kingside white attack. dont like moving e6 at all. interesting to see queen on e7, i find c7 to be a good home but not as dynamic for the black bishop then. i dont fare well when white sacs a piece to destroy the pawn structure, with a rook or two aimed at it. find that to be its weakness.

[@herzwatithink9289]

What a classic, thanks KC!

[@lobsterfork]

Really cool video. I will have to give the stonewall a try in future games.

[@jessiemanrique2825]

i have been viewing all of your chess videos over and over again so i could easily be familiarized with all this openings. i have learned so much with this videos of yours. i have a questions regarding the other videos that i have seen these past few weeks. its about GJ chess repertoire, since i have been playing long games, would it be possible or advantages for me to follow his instructions in a long game? or is it only applicable for a blitz? i really want to learn different tactics and strategies but i do really not know which of which. i hope you could me out...thank you so much and wish you all the best.

[@clivethereddevil3178]

I always play 2.e4 against the Dutch Defence. It leads to more open positions that are more suited to my style.

[@mariutunio]

This is known as the Staunton gambit.

[@m35926]

I thought I invented the stonewall when I was younger. I thought I was brilliant.

+I like how the letter 'b' in the word 'subtle' is subtle It's not the letter that's subtle it's the phoneme

[@johnk3841]

You still came up with it on your own. You're just not the first to find it. I think that's still something to be proud of

[@DionysisGalanis]

I thought the same, since then I always make improvments according to my style.

[@charlesschmdit6500]

@@DionysisGalanis i thought i was the first one to play a5 in the Stonewall. Then Simon Williams shattered my world.

[@KotChorny]

But you are brilliant

[@duanearcher7576]

Considerable jockeying the first few moves of the Dutch, mostly around White's KN development. I prefer ...d5 first and if White plays Nh3, I play a 'half-Stonewall' with ...Nc6. Definitely a fun defense! Excellent video, BTW!

[@feelzthedon994]

Absolutely brilliant game by Magnus Carlsen. That enpassant move was a backbreaker for sure especially with some other devious stuff he had planned with the passed pawn on the h file lol.

[@strongside4565]

That was a tour de force by Magnus. It is crazy that he can stomp top ranked players with openings that are no longer considered feasible at this day and age.

[@dannygjk]

It wasn't a stomp it was a good game.

[@mwangikimani3970]

He is very good at improving upon older games - including classical 19th century games.

[@pulkitgoyal7540]

Great job on the video KC! I read somewhere on chess.com today that the best setup for the white knights in this opening is from g1-h3-f4-d3 and b1-d2-f3. Thought that'd be interesting.

[@HaBBiSiFy]

Pulkit Goyal That's one of the reasons for black's move order; it doesn't commit to the stonewall setup until white plays Nf3. If white was to play Nh3, black would happily go for a good version of the modern Dutch with ...d6 instead of ...d5.

[@SirHC2077]

Everybody has been playing the dutch since this game. It is infuriating for someone trying to learn the queen's gambit because now I have to play "anti-dutch". Any suggestions for how to avoid black dictating the long-term strategy like this? Awesome video as usual, thanks

[@douweodh4146]

Thanks KC! This could become quite a historic game!

[@silverrings6719]

great walk thru KC. U da man!

[@mmartel]

I really enjoyed your commentary on the match. thank you!

[@Gr8Believer]

Thanks KC I enjoyed watching this game. Thanks for taking the time to add interesting commentary.

[@cathrynmarshall5325]

Awesome video.Thanks so much

[@annonymeandfish]

15:18 Is an alternative move bishop x D6?

[@roland.j.ruttledge]

Fantastic. Many thanks.

[@zombitroid84]

Very good video! What would happen if after 4.... C6 white plays 5. C5?

[@ComtedeMonteC]

Very clear and interesting commentary.

[@BuffDemigod]

Great commentary. By the halfway point of the game, I felt like Magnus was leading him into a trap, trying not to be too obvious about it.

[@stevenpotterlgrrh]

Lol😁😂😂😂

[@Gregoryt700]

Ivanchuk has some interesting Dutch games.... Of course Chucky plays everything! The other consideration of course is that there are two very different Dutch openings for white to prepare for, Stonewall and Leningrad (I call the later Dutch Indian, that's sort if what it is). It is fun to play, though you gotta really know how to watch out for that diagonal weakness by the King

[@benpaine8980]

13.44- pawn to F5? instead of rook to d7?

[@movros99]

Amazing game. Thanks KC!

[@ВасяОлаг-к3ж]

Very well, maybe some other games from Grenki?)

[@watcharakanitthabut]

thank you

[@gm2407]

I am begining to think that the Dutch is best utilized by Black through outposts.

[@rookenforcer]

Mozart of Chess indeed

[@JuanPablo-ts4vd]

I just watched the simple ways white can crush the Dutch defense and Nf3 is pretty much a mistake. I've played the Dutch and it is so hard to get your pieces mobilized. But this just goes to show when you don't play computers and not always what is known you can enjoy a great win against a semi-equal opponent.

[@inconnu299]

great, thx

[@DipsAndPushups]

If this was guess the elo, after white exchanged his e5 knight for the light square bishop I would have said ok, 1200 max.

[@joebazooks]

intriguing game!

[@Altair565]

A comment during the live stream: "Only a chess world champion can play Bc8-c7." lol

[@Kostadin_Arolski]

I some time play these so if someone steals my phone and eatches my youtube,thinks im smart

[@MrWuster]

I just can't understand Vishy's nxd7... Also, KC, I bet you loved MC's h5 hack attack!

[@newenglandsun4394]

i actually have some fairly good success with the dutch.

[@klimtkiller]

wow 50k views EXACTLY

[@DerMig590]

What if instead of Qd1 Magnus goes Bf6? What then?

[@QuiksiIver]

removing whites black bishop seriously hurts the e6 pawn, reasonable move by anand. I think C8 is a better spot for it, however perhaps carlsen offered it for the knight.

[@deanjulian6189]

i prefer under the table chess

[@CoeyinJapan]

Hang on what's wrong with Rd6 doubling the rooks on the 6th rank? Tell me I'm not blundering....

[@CoeyinJapan]

Andy Coey does putting the bishop between the rooks help? Rd6 looks pretty strong to me....

[@nhorvel]

Andy Coey after Rd6, Magnus can go for Bg7 i think, protects dark squares on the 6th rank but also keeps control on the diagonal line

[@nhorvel]

jqbtube white cant go Bd4 at anytime, Black bishop's capture on Bd4+ gives black tempo and pushes for a2.

[@nhorvel]

+jqbtube ....Rd6.. if a2, black's bishop at Bb2 is unprotected. QxBb2+ potential after rook checks.

[@gratitude62]

! ..!..!...hmmm...!
