Hi John, It was an honour playing against you. 10/10 for the pronunciation of my name :) Haven't watched the full video yet, I'll try to make it more challenging next time! EDIT: Yep, I totally missed you had c3 after Qa5. It was pretty much all downhill from there.

I saw the Queen trap, but even if I saved the queen there I didn't think I had enough compensation for the exchange. So I willingly went in to that line thinking I'd able to do something with my bishop pair, but the move Nd5 ended all my hope. Going forward, I need to study the position after move 8 and have some ideas handy if I'm going to play this line again. I'm not convinced that this particular idea with a5 is good for black. It looks very comfortable in the queen side for black. Perhaps I need to find an alternative.

Discovered defense is probably the single hardest tactic to spot.

In the can is an old movie shooting reference. The film comes in a can and after it's exposed it goes back in the can until it is developed.

You are correct

I always thought in the can was a cinema term. When a film is done and ready to send out to theaters they store them in cans to protect the film.

This is where the saying comes from! It's a variation on having something "in the bag."

I'm loving the timing of these videos, perfect for my sleep time watching! Keep them coming John, can't get enough of them.

Thanks for the amazing perspective on facing the dreaded Dragon! As usual, you give us a super practical and playable line that helps to force the position into something we can digest and remember. You are an amazing teacher! Thanks, John for the great games and commentary!! So glad you are producing this amazing content these days.

So glad you’re back on YT and doing these longer games ❤

I do enjoy this schedule you've been keeping, there's something nice about climbing under the covers and watching a chill chess video to wind down before sleep after a long day.

It always amazes me when you demonstrate your ability to see so many moves ahead.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I just wanted to say thank you for posting these long videos again. They are really enjoyable and instructive. You are such an inspiration to us chess improvers! Greetings from Italy :)

"In the can" originates in radio and film industry. It refers to film or tape recorded previously, in a completed state, and ready for release. The can being the storage container of said film or tape.

As a 2300 rated player, the accelerated dragon is the one opening that i have the most trouble playing in so i do really appreciate the insights and opening knowledge played in this position, practically this setup looks quite good in fact.

Good analysis of some of the common theory in the accelerated dragon. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great content John! The way you explain chess positions is second to none...no one is better at this that you! I first saw your videos about 5 years ago and wish that I had seen them years earlier. Keep up the great work!

Thanks John, really enjoy your thought process on every move.

Absolutely loving all these uploads, thankyou so much John!

You make it look so easy ;-). Thanks for the content John.

The term “in the can” refers to the fact that the shooting of the film is finished and the spools are in the can ready for developing and editing.

At 31:20 my instinct to simplify is Nxe7 Nxe7 Bxd7 so you claim the bishop pair and win a pawn. I haven’t gotten to the analysis but I think it’s strong from what I was able to evaluate

Nxe7 isn't forced by black. However still looks good for white

John uploads a new video: :O John's facing the Accelerated Dragon: :) John gets a winning position: :D He's up on the clock: :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good on your opponent for actually using a bit of their clock before getting into a losing position!

It seems to me that the greatest difference between people like you and average chess players is that you remember SO MUCH MORE. Is there something you can advise on how to remember all this stuff? Is it impossible to play chess above a level without memorizing all this theory? And if yes, what is the most efficient method of doing that without becoming exclusively a chess-head?

So much YT content lately. Feels like Christmas.

Completed reels of film are in the can. Dave from Ohio

yes it was Reshevsky, but a few years after 1957, I believe

Very weird seeing John have this much time on his clock. 😌

I think "in the can" may be a movie filming term, A successfully filmed scene is "in the can"

Naturally, I.M. John assumes that "in the can" is a coffee reference. LOL

Jkjk I love your references. I first heard "spoiled for choice" and "out of the frying pan and into the fire" from you and now they are a part of my vocabulary

So much fun to watch you calculate. Dave from Ohio

A visualization error I commonly make. Hallucinated an extra knight after 14...Qa6 15 Nc7 you were thinking the queen was blocked from c4 by a knight on b5.

Thank you so much!

22:22 there was Qc4, Bb3, Nc3 which is pretty equal

brilliant!

“ In the can “ Movie film reference , the filming is done and stored in the can ?

In the can is from the film industry

I believe the "in the can" expression is generally used to mean that everything is wrapped up and done with. Like if you're processing something in a factory or when canning, the last step would be to seal up the can itself.

Possibly - or perhaps it's a Hollywood reference for putting the film into the canister ready for development after the scene is a "wrap".

In the can refers to the container for a reel of film. i.e. the film is finished.

17:19 Haha yeah I was wondering about c4. If you could play Bb3 without the c3 pawn hanging it would work but not yet.

Best natty chess player

trampowsky or torre next!

If you went bxa4 instead of nxa4 wouldnt it just be a free pawn?

I usually do OK against the Sicilian but to be absolutely honest, I don't know why. (I didn't get any of that snow, just the cold.)

Why not 20. Nxe7+

Does anyone know any resources for this line against the accelerated dragon move order? The one I have recommends the Maroczy stuff which is theoretically good but a little too positional for my taste and comfort.

In the can means the film is done, back in the days before everything is digital. So it means your done, the game is done
