Thank you

Is very pleasent to hear this guy. 10/10 prepared. COngrats.

Best of Schrantz' lectures so far! He seems to have found more comfort as a lecturer and shows more of his personality and sense of humour than in the earlier ones (which were still useful and knowledgable, but less entertaining). Truly great stuff, thanks! PS: I might be a bit biased since I'm trying to understand this very opening. PPS: I'd really like a lecture on the Dutch stonewall variation by Schrantz.

This is a (small) drawback of computers, they have to calculate a concrete line to justify their moves, a longterm positional move like a4 doesn't lead to immediate tangible advantages that a computer can justify. Carlsen of course is a genius, but this move was not him calculating so far ahead, he was using his judgement and intuition.

i don't think you can find moves that deep, unless it's some sort of theoretical preparation.

the only video i have seen covering sicilian Najdorf so good

Thank you. Within the first two minutes (and the first of those is just presentation) i found the explanation i needed for why every line of the Sicilian begins with the same nine moves and what the purpose of those moves is.

Another enjoyable watch Mr Schrantz. I really enjoy your work and look forward to seeing lots more.

Excellent Understanding and Commentary , Thanks a lot.

Great lecture. I usually just watch Finegold and Seirawan (simply being familiar with them); however, Schrantz is a great presenter. Loved the coverage of this opening!

this is the best chess video i have ever seen

I really enjoy your presentations

nice and efficient thorough coverage of openings without all the boring banter reminds me of Dereque Kelley's opening videos

thanks alot jon ur a great dude and awsome teacher learning a ton from your videos

Nice lecture! Thanks!

TheBossMinecraftPVP my man be beating people in Minecraft as much he beat them people on the board, a true idol.

I love your way of explaining, FINALLY learnt Sicilian all thanks to you, THANK YOU, PLS CARRY ON

the Najdorf is one of my personal favorites

So glad I found these videos. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this variation.. Would it be possible to do a video on Sicilian Mengarini variation?

I love your videos very much

lmfao TheBossMinecraftPvP

Thanks for this video, i was waiting for this one. You re doing great job !

thanks. great video!!

Great lecture, keep up the good work. In the last position where you talked about mating in the right number of moves, I think the move Rc2+ is leading into a 3 moves mate.

As much I enjoy the lecture I like his interaction with the kid LOL. "You learned from us" (calling the knight as bishop) and then "You play better than the world champion" HAHAHA he's a nice lecturer :D

Jonathan is a great instructor. I love watching your movies.

I spent three hours after this vdo... It's great

Your lessons are excellent Jonathan. How about some of the B openings with venom in there, not seen at top level but what club players can have a go at. Thing's like the Grob g4 or the Polish b4. Another one I'd like to see is The French Defence, Milner Barry Variation for White and the Grunfeld, Exchange Variation for Black.

Thank you Jonathan!

TY nice explanation, what is the name of your software?

That vid where Jonathan bumps to the music in the intro is still the best one 😂

Great lecture Jonathan. I always had an habit of focusing in on your throat clearing during your speeches. I only head it like twice with is almost non existent (for 45 minutes). Keep up the good work, it's noticed and appreciated. Note* I give a lot of public speeches and like you tend to be high energy (fast talking, hand movements). What really flipped the script is when i stopped mouth breathing during my talks. It does slow you down a little, but the info can still be delivered quickly. It may sound like a critique, but you have a lot of information to give. You are clearly a smart guy who knows what he is talking about. It just feels like you personality is being hidden behind a wall of tension. I think your breathing would be the key to improving you talks. Nicholas Boothman has written several book on the subject of interactions and proper breathing techniques are at the heart of all his teaching. Best of luck to you sir.

I dont get it, are you an ancap or the typical liberal left of today?

05:47 There's an interesting forced draw that'd happen if white plays Qh5 instead of retreating back with Ng3. Black's best move is to take the knight on e4. White proceeds with Qg5+, Kh8 is forced for black, Qf6+, Kg8 is forced, Qg5+ and no other option than to repeat.

Amazing my dear ❤️ thanks for sharing 💕💕

Can we get a whole series on this please

Please make a video on QGD TARTAKOVER variation

wow a super video was explained

thanks. very nice video Jonathan plz analyze different branches of sicilian

Hey can you do a lecture on the Nakhmanson gambit? I saw a youtuber play it once

Which chess software you are using

could you do one on the (real) Rossolimo? Thanks

25:49 Why Ne5 isn't also winning? this is much more complex after something like Ra7! Qe6 d:e5 Qc8+ Ke7 Rd5 but it supposed to be winning too. Am I wrong?

Can you cover the legendary Machuka rook game?

Thanq so much

at 4:50, doesnt Nxe4, Qxf5, Nxd6+, Bxd6, Qxd6 look good or is there some kind of trick im missing here?

Which Software is used in this lecture

in amatuer leve black doesnt play d4 in 5th move because afraid of exchange. in most videos about sicilian defence this part has not been covered .whats your suggestion for white in this situation. thanks

I've seen more than a few grandmasters and IMs - even some who regularly play Najdorf's variation - who, by evidence of their superficial explanations, clearly do not understand the purpose of 5...a6, missing the clear strategic and tactical points that Jonathan Schrantz elucidated completely at the beginning of this video. I don't know whether Jonathan is a scholar of chess history or has had access to some rare modern source that I have not seen, but congratulations for setting the core idea of the opening straight!

@@vit9480 I agree, it is surprising. What is your counter hypothesis, then, to explain the fact that so many of them say nothing more than that 5...a6 can be useful in keeping White's pieces (usually specifically mentioning knights) off of b5? There is a very clear, specific reason why 5...a6 became a standard move, mentioned in this video, and all of the old GMs and masters clearly understood that, while no other modern source on the subject of the Najdorf displays evidence of that same simple understanding.

@vit9480

JL Conn Idk which references you’re suggesting but most nadjorf videos I watched do mention the purpose of a6 is to avoid the annoying bishop check and bishop trades to be used to white’s advantage, also to prevent the knight pin in the rossolimo attack variation.

@@vit9480 It's not that they don't mention it; it's that they don't provide the true reason for it, opting instead for vague ideas that you just repeated. The Rossolimo is not an issue at that point, that opening was impossible since Black's second move. The Najdorf 5...a6 is a specific move in a specific position, not ...a6 in general; it was adopted in that specific position with one specific goal in mind, and that has nothing to do with vague ideas, but about a concrete calculation and strategic evaluation. Black wants to play 5...e5, but cannot because of 5.Bb5+, when either variation chosen by Black gives up control of the light squares, as explained in this video, and not in your comments, and not in any other resource I've seen aside from every single reference to it by the old (Fischer era and before) masters. That is the one and only reason for 5...a6, everything else good about the move is a side effect, not a reason to play it. I was merely noting that this video should be congratulated for providing the clear truth about the reason for the existence of the move that defines the opening, because that is rarely if ever covered nowadays.

Why would 3. ...Nf3 force white to play 4. Nc3? Can't white just play 4. Bd3?

Just curious, why do most people in the chess world default to using he/him for theoretical players?

It's perhaps worth noting that at 27:20, Nd4 was Carlsen's 40th move, so he was probably short on time -- otherwise it would be somewhat surprising that he didn't play the much better Nxc5.

At the 38:40 question, is Knight to f6 also a valid move? It again opens the way to the rook, and if pawn takes the knight, the bishop also gets in the game.

Watching from Brazil here!!!
