WIN WITH 1.B3 | Nimzo-Larsen Attack

[@mpibb]

THIS VIDEO SAVED MY LIFE. too bad the creator died horribly and tragigly and badly when he was caught casting an illegal spell in the 1300s and was promptly feasted by the local gnome police security community. my condolences to his family! soooooooooooooooo sad!

[@McSrtroke]

Huh?

[@alexpicu6793]

Wtf???

[@zorphon361]

Hate when that happens . I’ve been there before 😔

[@LavenderLabster]

What is your username i would love to analyse and learn from your nimzo games

[@OddworldAuto]

This is my favorite opening. Bought a chess book when I started learning. Opened it up and randomly saw the Larsens 1.B3 opening and having been playing it ever since. I have played over 80 games with it. But, I haven’t ever really found a video that explains a lot about it or the other variations. This video is a life saver. I will be referring back to this video a LOT as I continue to work on my beloved baby orangutan opening 🦧 Thank you so much !

[@dharaneeshbabu5966]

This is 'the best' chess channel I've ever come across... very clear explanation, every move covered...I've seen a lot of channels but this one's a gem 💎

[@richardnadeau7882]

Very informative video on the Nimzo-Larsen. I've watched several other and this one is clear and down to earth. Keep up the good work.

[@astrochan1212]

Been learning chess through ur videos, ur queen gambit course helped me a lot, climbed to 1400! Thank you

[@kyrollousashraf5374]

Your opening videos are very, very good. Just like Gotham in his pre super fame years, you will hopefully blow up in popularity soon!❤

[@ITZLINGLING]

HOLY CRAP THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! bro this video is beyond helpful you earned a sub, i’ve never seen a chess opening put so simply like this before

[@WayOfHaQodesh]

Thank you so much for this. You're a great teacher. Appreciate your breakdown of these positions.

[@Number1Pro]

This is OP for blitz

[@ThatCzechMapper]

Not just for blitz. I recently started using it and I've had great succes with it!

[@shadowclone2938]

the best explanation in the entire history of chess i have seen till now, i started playing this opening and i have came across many opening videos for this and kings indan this channel is literally the best one. (please do kings Indian -pirc defense) (with its all variations like this video)

[@avrotijdmetavrothijs]

Yes! I’m craving a kings indian pirc too!

[@jeanmasselin3742]

Very clear video, the pace of the explanation is just great: we can pause and replay over the board - so many tutorials engage in lengthy side comments with a sleepy voice. Great. Keep going.

[@debopamroy56]

FINALLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I've been requesting this FOREVER!!!

[@supsurge2839]

awesome video, i hope for more b3 lessons

[@Ebobster]

Excellent video, covering center play & flank set ups, including KID & Dutch

[@kn_t_]

Its a great and really well explained video. I needed a new opening to play and I you really helped me with this

[@yashtrivedi7271]

Dude you deserve more and more subs

[@1step_better]

best nimzo.larsen opening teaching

[@andeewardjojo]

This is awesome! Thank you for this 🤝

[@user-MetalAngel]

The Nimzo-Larsen is like a hyper-accelerated Colle-Zukertort. Very similar.

[@mickhurley7305]

that was great .. you got a sub. I liked how you explained the thinking behind some moves and what squares you were trying to control

[@enke-ochi962]

tired of playing c4 as a white and found this great video, actually openings like reti or nimzo-larsen is very unique

[@Shahin-st4pd]

Great video. Thanks

[@kowalskik.1333]

Why this videos never show the way my opponent plays? 😅 What to do if my opponent protects his pawn on e5 directly with pawn f6 instead of Bd6 ?? (min. 1:42)

[@cheers1595]

Cases Like that dont get Portrait, because they are usually really bad, Just analyse it using Stockfish and u will quickly See why.

[@綾裹石]

Very useful, I play this opening a lot

[@jordanoloomi488]

Here’s the thing though. I’ve played this opening a ton in blitz and rapid games over the years. The one thing this video fails to address, which I run into about every other game, is people just push their E pawn so you have a hard time developing your pieces.

[@EcstaticMonkey98]

YES I JUST LEARNED THIS AS A SUPRISE OPENING

[@yanniechess5699]

Hello Volclus! Can you make a video about how to play the English opening. I love this tutorial on the Nimzo-Larsen Attack! Thank you!

[@KYYYYG]

As a 1700 this is where i go everytime i want to try new openings

[@ityaboidavid2.0]

What if you play B3, and they play G6?

[@ememade]

AMAZING VIDEO WHY DONT U HAVE MORE SUBS

[@susymay7831]

Please consider making a video about the Tromposky opening!!

[@adilsongomes5645]

I'm a fan of the b3 opening. Would you have this written material for us to access, with the main variations?

[@federicogaffuri908]

6:17 what if instead of Castle he goes pawn e4 attacking the night?

[@federicogaffuri908]

oh, maybe Just Ng5 and Just double Attack It..

[@MarcHeuer]

The line with d5 and e6 is the Colle Zukertort opening.

[@josephoyek6574]

At 6:20, what if Black plays e4???

[@bolrod_4526]

You go Nd2 threatning to take on e4, they end up losing a pawn no matter what they do I think

[@yassinbenabou9601]

Nice vid🤝

[@flowerbasket2229]

THIS VIDEO IS CRAZY! IN THE SONG DYNASTY HE WAS STUFFED INTO A CANNON and FIRED into a crowd of spectators R.I.P.

[@nealjordan]

what if black plays e5 then e4 and supports the pawn with d5? i have trouble with that

[@blades9937]

Depending on when he plays e4 it is either c4 preventing d5 or d3 challenging the overextended e pawn. That's just at a cursory glance though, the Lichess database is fantastic and you can find all sorts of lines and variations there.

[@nealjordan]

@@blades9937 thank you!

[@DrakoDisaster]

Can u do this for B6

[@obitouchiha8216]

finally a white opening witch is easy enough for me to use and is good aswell now im getting something else other then london and english opening

[@aaronrikki8258]

14:43 I wouldn't play 3.Nc3 because after 3.a3 white has to undevelope his bishop and black can further protect that a-pawn with 4.e6.

[@alainlietard]

Hello Would you make a lichess study or publish the pgn file of this course ? Thank you

[@alainlietard]

Very good video 👍 I would like the pgn file if possible 🙏 Thanks you

[@alainlietard]

Would you make a lichess study or publish the pgn file of this course ?

[@alainlietard]

I don't see the answer

[@Jpizzakebab]

Is this opening good for tournaments?

[@ChessCafe-il3od]

0:50 So much development, and still the evaluation is just +1.5

[@Frandress.10]

PNG please 😢😢

[@PrinceTiger-r8l]

14:45 Nc3 is actually a mistake as it allows a3 and it forces your bishop back to c1. The best move is to continue with e4.

[@kenmunger6110]

The knight is defending that a3 square. That's not a mistake

[@GlitchedSailor]

Great Video!! Just wondering what if black plays e5 and after bb2 they just push the pawn to e4?

[@GlitchedSailor]

I subbed btw :)

[@GlitchedSailor]

and liked the video too

[@JulioCesarMendez-bd4nx]

I been off chess for many years (10+). There is an upcoming (2 weeks) strong blitz and rapid event that I want to play (it will have GM, IM, FMs). I'm just 1800, so to cover my lack of opening preparation, I'll choose this opening to focus my training on tactics. I'll update here after the tournament to let you know if it worked for me. By the way, is there a video for 1...b6?

[@frinjareviews5060]

How did the tournament go

[@JulioCesarMendez-bd4nx]

@@frinjareviews5060 The blitz went a bit bad 4/9, but I did regular in rapid (5/9), placing 90th together with some FMs and CMs.

[@petehowlett3966]

Why is it when you play a computer these classic/textbook moves never occur! I often get my bishop and rook into a vulnerable position....

[@montevonwish7572]

Ive been play8ng this since 1 month and I gained 400 elo

[@KingPanda-lp5ir]

Why not Nf3 first to try and stop e4

[@charmingfox2603]

haev you tried the hippo

[@groods]

I mean, playing the reti and then trying to play the nimzo-Larsen after that is a better way of playing at the higher levels

[@antonioa.jepkoko4588]

Bishop to d6 at 4:58 instead of Queen to h4, and thr engines says im losing. Mind to fix it, and not furthir lead your viewers to damnation?

[@Fishy_17]

Thankfully my normal system to deal with these queenside fianchettos is not mentioned here e.g. b3 e5 Bb2 Nc6 e3 d5 Bb5 f6.

[@noluter3226]

this is my secret opening

[@AdmatHakodesh]

(14:45) After Nc3?, black is simply better with a3 and e5. Very poorly suggested.

[@desmyt67]

Do one about czech defence :3

[@JoeSimmer]

This was the best tutorial I’ve seen! Thank you!!! ♟️ 👑

[@tommyvercetti1558]

woah-

[@AankhiMitra-o6z]

This is my favourite opening after watching 87percent win rate in this opening ❤❤😂😊

[@tommyvercetti1558]

how about a nimzo indian video? :>

[@AnasBukhari-g4f]

We want an opening for that confuses beginners and play dumb

[@MurkyTheWolf]

Every time I analyze a video like this and try my best to have a clean game and get practice with it my opponent ends up playing something like f1 or h2 I swear 😭

[@hyrexexe]

Bro literally every time i play it my opponent plays the modern variation, i encountered the classical few times and the dutch variation is surprisingly so strong against this opening😭

[@Aamirmahdiy]

You are not saying the annoying lines

[@guntherdasschaf336]

Guys i think i have a fantastic game ahead of me

[@beastfist1988]

better than levy

[@I_Just_Rizzed_You_Up]

Great video !

[@stoutlager6325]

At 12:39 you're suggesting black play Rb8 but that's not even in the top 3 best moves black has in that position. Black can trade Nxd4 Qxd4 and then follow it up with b5. That doesn't look like a fun position to play for white. The Dutch variation also underestimates black's kingside attack. This video is fine but I hate when the openings are presented as flawless and awesome in all variations. This opening is not flawless and not always awesome. It's disingenuous to present it like that.

[@stoutlager6325]

And the last variation. The entire point of that is black can force white to play Bc1 with advancing the pawn to a3 (not capturing) after Nc3. Why did you dismiss that? Black is BETTER there after Nc3. 1. b3 a5 2. Bb2 a4 3. Nc3 a3 4. Bc1 Come on.

[@ضياءالدين77]

حلو

[@rodneyfungus8249]

A disappointing video. Only useful if you play low grade patzers. Strong defences by black have simply been ignored.

[@sebdodds7381]

Three not free

[@RayT70]

What to do after 1. b3 e5 2. Bb2 Nc6 3. e3 d5 4. Bb5 f6 For example 5. Qh5+ g6 6. Qh4 Bd7

[@BabyCheeks2]

However many likes this somment gets i have to do pushups as many as the likes on my youtube channel

[@lgmnowkondo938]

are you saying three or free? If you say free...instead of three, I don't think I can watch you.
