I also wanted to emphasize that the Exhange Slav is like a London System but with an even more defined pawn structure. Generally pretty easy to navigate structurally.

I play the Slav when I know for sure it’s not exchange Slav but most players try to avoid it as much as possible. I recently just switched from playing the outright Slav to reach a semi Slav position via QGD.

My favourite line against slav. Small stable advantage and no terrifying semi-slav for you sir :) I wish there was a little bit more resources about it, as it seems it’s not that popular and respected as for example Nc3 e3 lines. Great video, John. Glad to see another longer time control game from you. You are the best :) greetings from Poland

Super instructive it makes me wanna play D4 a bit more. I loved the deep analysis part it's super satisfying to see how much there is to learn and how resilient a slightly worse position can prove to be. Black had lots of resources even though since the knight E5 move they seemed in a difficult situation following your thought process. Did you really recall that Kramnik Annand game from 2008 from the top of your head? If so, really it's an impressive display of memory man ! Very good to see you back on KZbin John thanks for the content. Peace

The exchange Slav is why I stopped playing the Slav. It's worse than the London because they make you think you're going to play an interesting opening for an extra move.

An oddball plus for me in John's analysis is the number of times his moves were deemed "dubious" by S/fish which he didn't necessarily agree with. I've noticed in my analysed games that Missed Wins etc are often only because there was a complicated, long variation that was better that, at my level, I was never going to see. Great content. Thanks John.

That f3 move was brilliant. That's the kind of move I would have such a hard time seeing because I get tunnel vision for one area of the board where the fight is happening. But the move works so harmoniously, chaining together the knights existing attacking threats with the rook on f1 awakening and all of a sudden putting brutal pressure down the f file. So cool.
@JohnBartholomewChess
@JohnBartholomewChess Жыл бұрын
100% - it's the type of move that's a little hard to conceptualize at first, because the f-file appears so blocked.

What qgd variation would you consider more aggressive/dynamic for black? right know i'm playing the ragozin but i loose control of the position or the bishop for knight exchange doesn't lead to a tangible compensation... By the way always appreciate your videos!
@JohnBartholomewChess
@JohnBartholomewChess Жыл бұрын
Ragozin is tricky - very dynamic, and I bet the move orders are tough to grasp. If you're willing to put a pawn on c6, I'd say the Triangle (1.d4 d5 3.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6) leads to some great fights. Also avoids the Exchange Slav.

Hard to say, because this can be pretty situational in the King's Indian. In general, White doesn't want to give up the center with exf5, especially if Black can respond with ...gxf5 and obtain strong/mobile e+f-pawns.

20:15 Well, I don't like you being that unsatisfied with your time choices after all. You do have your opponent to look at for competition when it comes down to it. The whole "messy" as a description doesn't do it for me either. It feels like a basic emotion people get when time crunching goes in effect and is extremely predictable and unnecessary as a rushed outcome to comment on. In other words: Basic emotions kick in guys, you know how it is. Nods from people with tons of free time. Which I guess is cool, but why hate the machine taking your mf job tho, get a clue, your machine saved you time, ok?
