The Exchange Slav - GM Varuzhan Akobian - 2015.10.18

Grandmaster Varuzhan Akobian teaches the kids how to decline the Queen's Gambit. He reviews names of several openings there, but then dives deeper into the Exchange Slav. However, one mistake by black creates white's opportunity to attack!
D13 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav, exchange variation

    Amazing lecturer and my favourite person to learn from hands down. One recommendation. If you can put the moves to each game in row format in the description, that would be amazing. That way people can review the games instead of painstakingly going through the video to setup the same game. Thank you!

    Although I gave this video a "like" because as usual GM Akobian's videos are very high quality and more consistent with solid learning practice than nearly all other videos, I was disappointed in the content. The lesson in this video is very important, because it describes an important attacking pattern, but based on the video title was hoping for a more difficult and rarely discussed topic, how to gain an advantage in an opening where the pawn islands are symmetrical (This is the Slave Exchange, the other would be the Exchange French).

    my problem as a lower rated player is usually: I see a line that is very similar to this, I know there is a winning attack around, I'd calculate it to be sure, but not deep enough, I oversee there is a slight difference (a Zwischenzug by my opponent maybe, forcing me to react first, leaving a piece hanging etc etc..) in the position, I think I have a winning combination and end up losing material for a weak or completely useless attack :D You know, because my opponent knows about his "weakness" and did a preventing move I overlook. i think I have my attack but really I don't xD I guess u have to lose in a furstrating way for that to sink in a couple of times^^ nice lesson

    +Awkward Alan I have the same experience. I think my "brilliant" line is forcing, but suddenly, BAM! My opponent has a Zwischenzug. Once I get over the initial frustration, I realize that losing like that is one good way to learn. You will not miss the same move twice, and you will not miss the same IDEA that many times either. Once you get Zwischenzug'ed in a sufficiently painful way, you will keep that idea in mind every game, every time you calculate your forcing lines. And off course, this goes for any idea. Also, when you have played similar positions, you get a feel for what resources both sides have.

    That's great and all; but takes very poor play by black. After e3 black could play Nh5 forcing white to trade off his Bishop. Also after Ne5 black could just trade knights instead of reinforcing the f6 knight with his Bishop.

    +Parkinson De Seiz: Well, it's a kids class, so I don't expect the most double-edged opening, where you must remember all the lines and subtleties until move 25. Instead, Akobian presented a rock solid continuation for white and showed some opportunities that can arise for white, which I think is perfectly fine for the kids. :-)

    The line is 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6 3.cxd cxd 4.Nc3 Nc6 5.Bf4 followed by e3 and then development of the knight on f3.The only sharp line which you need to know theory is the sharp 5.Qb6 gambit line which also originates in akobian's suggestion.

    I play Slav exchange as white and although theory says it is equal or drawish, it is not so easy for black to play over the board. In case u think I am a beginner, I am a 2250 FIDE rated active player. Carlsen just lost to Wesley So in the exchange Slav.

    @@traderdavidtan1855 Agree which is why I was disappointed anticipating this video would be about strategic concepts instead of a notable tactical pattern. I wouldn't say that Black would have difficulty equalizing, but that Black is often left aimlessly searching for a plan (Same occurs in the Exchange French). The better prepared player who understands nuances has a decided advantage.
