Chess Prophylaxis | Strategy Session with Jonathan Schrantz

[@GuillermoPaz]

When Ken West recommends f6 followed by Bh3 to prevent castling at 6:00. Isn´t a better response than to take gxf6 g6 attacking the Queen and getting rid of the pin? It is a bit annoying but you may have enough time to close the kingside and even try castling there as there are no more pawn breaks (If you get to close it. If White does not want to close it you still haven´t castledand even though still worse it is much less troublesome than having the Kingside shattered AND the Queenside castle prevented by the Bishop on a3.

Amazing lecture. My entire tournament (not online blitz play) Is based on prophylactic thinking and stopping opponents play. Please do the QGD petrosian variation from white and black as well as the Benoni specifically the New York variation from white and black.

[@shubhankarpandey4311]

ya i likepetrosian variation very much

[@AndrewIsbell]

The first game features Henrik Danielsen who posted dozens of videos in the old days of youtube on this "Polar Bear" opening, a reversed dutch with 1.f4. Those videos are private now because he is selling that information. Surprise, surprise, the position shown has his pawn on f4.

[@schach420]

25:50 "I always tell people to play Qd8" Okay Ben.

[@aitorgarcia1147]

14:11 "Now white is just winning" But equal material. I suppose that after Rxb2 Kh3 and the mate threat costs him a knight (Nf4+). But then the blunder was Bxh2 wasn't it? :/

[@Majora1988]

Of course Mike Kummer gets a mention in a lecture about prophylaxis. >_> I'll stop now.

[@missjessgem]

@4:30... Qd6 is nothing to sneeze at. When is GM Ben Finegold coming back? He recorded new videos, right?

[@MrKitesurfercharlie]

Thank you Johnathan for yet another good video.

[@swingsblues]

Definitely tactical prophylaxis. 2nd and 3rd game are viewed from black :)

[@shivamshah6567]

Jonathan Pls make a video on G3 NF6 line in Depth . I mean G3 first in white then NF6. Waiting really long.

[@alexandernat3920]

I said rook to c7. Am I a genius now? Where do I sign up?

[@eliask5867]

Can you pls do the french winawer in Chess openings explained?? Pls bossibly soon because i have my first rated tournament(im 10 thats why) :the Finnland championship 9-12.6.2016. Im so exited and i wanna to use the french. p.s sorry if i have wrote something wrong

[@olidumdum]

Try to look for GingerGM Simon Williams Winawer French on youtube. He has done some extesive reaserch and good analysis for this opening. Good luck in the championship. :)

[@hnalike7778]

Helpfull lectures... thanks

[@afbdreds]

Can anyone tell me from what opening is 12:00 position?

[@omedakreyi5152]

afbdreds reti opening. 1.Nf3 d5 2. b3 etc

[@serbia9682]

In a position with a winawer, what about Qh5 for white?

[@dustinarand]

Instead of f6 followed by Bh3, I was thinking Bh3 first, since then he can't castle otherwise f6+ picks up the bishop.

[@Manua-b5h]

i like this puzzle

[@Manwlatsi]

Always repeat!

[@Burnthesof]

oeh I am early let's make a joke Mike kummer

[@alexandernat3920]

[@remcovanhartevelt588]

Pushin the e pawn on 18.55(

[@malresser]

very bad example , adn lecture should pick more quiet game like from one of karpov's this is rather than Prophylaxis it is a tactic lecture

[@SomeDumbTrucker]

Just a small tip my guy, I know you're very good at content creating and a good player yourself... Please for the love of God if you recording a KZbin video, eating or drinking is not good. The sound effects are horrid.

[@shivamshah158]

I always told u but u never listen to me. I play G3 first move. Make a video on G3 in depth covering all lines for white. Example G3 D5 G3 NF6 G3 G6 G3 C5 G3 E5 G3 F5.

[@chandan1015]

ken west Fake GM

[@thecityofjoy]

I hit the thumbs down button ... He said to hit all buttons !

[@daliborkajovicic9565]

Please do not drink water during the lecture, or at least move the mike away.

[@garp9433]

dude, he drank coffee too, but they weren't noticeable... you just have a pet peev. TBH he drank so quietly it might just be a prop

[@brabhamfreaman166]

It's a lapel mike...get over it.
