Thanks a lot Sam.
thanks for the vids sam really however it seems strange that you keep reffering to the bishop move as a novelty why in the world would any player at a higher level not take with the bishop if he takes with the pawn he hems in his own bishop so it seems not only natural but the only way to continue and have a good "active" position
I like this video... great, great
Nice video. i hate surprise moves

IM Shankland talks about how one should and should not respond to a surprising move in the opening. Taking an example from his recent tournament practice, he talks about his attitude, thought process, and time management.
