[@tommarcoen6758]

Will you also turn the Chessable course into a book, as you did with the Kalashnikov course? I much prefer books over online courses, especially yours as I do like your method of learning a new opening: by studying a lot of well-annotated example games.

[@PowerPlayChess]

@@tommarcoen6758 I am working on the book right now. Release will probably be late spring.

An excellent presentation on the Rosso! A perennial problem has always been dc6 or bc6! Here, I agree with Danny King as to 'dc6' because of the open lines for Bishop & Queen.

[@RoyGazoff]

"but this is how I like it"). Very instructive, thnx👍

[@A.mostafavi]

👍

[@kenhoadley1798]

Danny, like you say many Black players get destroyed because they don't get their King-side pieces out and your variation solves that problem 🙂 In the game after 11.Ne4 b6 what if if White prevents ...Nd4 with 12.c3? if the Bishop comes out 12...Ba6 then 13.g4 Nh6 14.d4 is a bit loose but at least White does drive the Knight back and get the c3-d4 center pawns.

[@mcronrn]

Chess is wild. 8.4M Rossolimos played on KZbin. After 3..Nf6, what if they play the most common moves, and u do engine moves? 4.BxN dxc6 5.d3 Qc7 6. OO Nh5. How many times has Nh5 been played, you ask? ZERO - it’s never been played. From 8.4M on move 3 to zero on move 6!! 🤯🤣🙏

[@fsr1960]

Not sure what engine you're using. Stockfish 15 slightly prefers 5...g6 to 5...Qc7, though it's close. It gives 6...Nh5 as only its sixth favorite move, the first being 6...e5 - which is presumably the idea being 5...Qc7.

I bought the Chessable course, started learning the Rossolimo lines and played it online in blitz recently. First game(white chose the g4 approach), against someone rated 200 points higher than me, I was winning right out of the opening; up a pawn with a better position. I managed to lose that game, because I got low on time. However, it wasn't the opening's fault. Just me being slow. After I play it a bunch more, I'm sure I'm going to be annoying to play against. It's a different approach to how I used to play the Rossolimo, but I like it. Helps when you have a Grandmaster teaching you the way. ;)

[@PowerPlayChess]

Great to hear that the opening worked well!

[@djgresearch]

I like that line which ticks a lot of boxes. Slightly off the beaten track, which always appeals to my individualism, but also fundamentally sound and producing interesting double-edged positions.

[@TessaTestarossa]

I don't even play chess and I almost wanna buy it just to get some more of Daniel King's great work, lol. Thanks for all your work for the chess community.

[@menohomo7716]

What happened to Li Chao btw ? Why did he quit ?

[@dr.deepakgore1079]

Really best game for me ,sir u explained best opening ideas , thanks for always beautiful,lucid teaching 🎉❤❤

[@joseraulcapablanca8564]

Thanks Daniel, I like that this idea is based on your experience.

[@kevink1391]

As a 2000 uscf player the rossolimo has given me a tough time this is definitely a pretty good line!

[@nicoterradas]

I wish one day you make a course of your older books on the Spanish and KID, with Ponzetto and others. A course on ideas and plans, instead of repertoires. With a ChessBase FT or Chessable!

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yes, they were nice books, but I need a break from designing these courses - they are very time consuming!

[@joanlandkamer9439]

Instructive video as always. I'm a bit surprised not to be seeing anything about the WR Masters...thought maybe you'd cover that similarly to Tata Steel.

[@paulmeyer8612]

Thank you very much, Daniel, now we know, what to play against the rossolimo, a very sound variation Its a good sicilian program for Black against 2.c3 (alapin), 2.d4 ( kalashnikow) and now 3.bb5, Gratulation Daniel.... Your Dr. Paul Meyer, austria

[@undertaker2829]

I thought as a general principle in systems like rossolimo, if black fiangettoes the dark squared bishop and white bishop captures the black knight on c6, then black should preferably recapture with the b pawn instead of the d pawn. However, the line that you presented invalidated that "theory"!

[@Zakdayak]

This is a great video....I just might buy the course

[@roqsteady5290]

It is useful how the doubled pawns on c6 and c5 control so many important squares on the queenside!

[@witcher-86]

nice system Nf6, looks very practical and not so well known 👍, this reminds me of the line I get from 3..g6 4.0-0 Bg7 5.Re1 Nf6 6.e5 Nd5 7.Nc3 Nc7 8.Bxc6 dxc6 9.Ne4 Ne6, N also heads to d4, same structure, of course in your line it's way less theory, might have to buy your course then😃

[@PowerPlayChess]

Yes, there are great similarities between these lines, sometimes they even transpose.

[@Jaylooker]

This game is very similar to Carlsen vs. Niemann in the FTX Crypto Cup. c4 again was a fatal positional mistake because it created a backwards d3 pawn that was easily blockaded and attacked.

[@PowerPlayChess]

Indeed. That game is a good example of the potential of Black's position.

[@seagull1756]

I love this system!!

[@DG-ss2zd]

Great video, is qe2 a move after knf6?

[@PowerPlayChess]

Sure. Black would still play 4...g6 and it doesn't change much.

[@Multi-yi4ri]

Hallo Daniel...eine Frage kommt auch ein Buch darüber so wie beim Kalashnikov?

[@PowerPlayChess]

Ja. Ich fange an April zu schreiben, und dann wer weiß wie lange es dauert bis es fertig ist.

[@alexdommnich2544]

​@PowerPlayChess Please ask Robert to do some more videos for this channel. We need this book, at least for the next club season.
