  I have a line in the early theory where queens get exchanged. I show the main line theory where Queens stay on the board after this. Most of my videos follow this pattern. I show sidelines and then mainlines. The vast majority of the video focuses on positions with queens on the board.

Since then I have played both a slav and a QGD and managed to greatly improve my results with the black pieces. I haven't gone back to a KID. That switch is what allowed me to break through and get my master title for the first time. At the highest levels the KID is a very hard opening to get right. Even the very best players don't use it as their only weapon anymore. Home analysis and computer preparation has made it a much more difficult opening to play.

  Interesting. The line I would have played instead would have been Bishop to f2, check. If King takes, Rook to e2. If king doesn't take and goes to h1, Queen takes Rook on f1, check. This forces Queen takes Queen on f1, and allows the rook drop for a pin. Always interesting to see how different people play different lines.

  Nice video, thanks! It's going to be useful for my upcoming tournament! Anyway, when i prepared alone this variation, i saw some lines when you still sack the knight even if there's no immediate win of material or mate as you showed, and i got a little worried, like: oh no and what if i don't succede, what if he consolidates? Even if that lines is +3.00 or something, do you think that it's easier to play as white, knowing you have to find something right now, or as black, knowing that you just need your king to safety and a little of cordination and development?

• 
  @robertplunkettschesslab24 күн бұрын

  @@Leoscacchi08 I'd take white and I do in actual games. Black can't consolidate with best play but more importantly black can't consolidate if white just plays competently. White typically has 3 or 4 decent moves in every position and has multiple ways to continue the attack. Black is basically just waiting for white to blunder because there isn't an actual plan that consolidates without ending up with a losing position. There is no actual "safe place" for the king to hide and there is no clear way to finish development. Blacks issues of king safety and development are just as permanent as white's material deficit. Black is just waiting for a blunder.

  I use to play a ton of the 2 knights defense and when running into d3 this c5 with queenside expansion in mind was what i often played for. I can see now here that you are essentially getting that same structure with so many tempi saved on kingside development, as be7 re8 bf8 is excluded.

  @@robertplunkettschesslabI was looking at your najdorf stuff and couldnt find one demonstrating how to play into 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Bc4. I know its an amatuerish line for white that doesn't according to the computer, fight for an advantage, but at ~2200 I often struggle to prove in any way that the bishop doesn't belong. I play e6 a6 and depending on whether or not they play a4, b5. I tend to get fine positions but sooner or later f4 f5 comes through and I just cant help but feel like white is totally fine!
