    Really enjoying the connection between the modern Reti and the Taimanov Sicilian. I think I'll give this a try thanks for the opening suggestion!

    16:57 This Ng4 premove could cost a lot if white would play Kh1 or Kh3. Instead you could premove Qh2+!

    Love it when you play more strategic lines. Pity that there is not a short and sweet so can check before buying

    Hello from Argentina! Ribli plays this style. Nf3 followed by c4, always. However, he enters in a Queen Gambit or a Catalan against ....d5 or ....e6 .....d5.

    Keep the videos coming! You're the most "real" guy out here.... so entertaining...... that 2nd game... that was just awesome.... straight out of my playbook... I am great out the opening and completly fail in the end...... except you actually pulled out a win.

    I watched the short and sweets, played it a bit, and LOVE this approach. So interesting! My only question is: How to play against your favoured Dutch Defence? Saw you smash Titled Tuesday the other day too, nice one :)

    Simon, how do you continue after 1 Nf3 d5 2 c4 d4? Black will follow with ..Nc6, e5, etc....Would you give us just a taste of how white continues there? Thanks

    Jobava is incredibly effective if you know your lines. Deceptively aggressive especially if people think you just confused your normal London move order or something
