in the Rd1 Qa7 Nd6+ Kf8 Qf4 line why can't black play Be8?

really enjoyed the lecture Dzindzi, thanks

ty for the lecture

TQ SIR...

thanks

great video

Thanks for the video.

To paraphrase a famous saying, "insults lie in the mind of the beholder." Think about Dzindzi's predicament for a moment. He is a coach. If he sees a player using some wrong mappings in her/his head, what should Dzindzi do? Keep the player warm and cozy so that (s)he feels comfortable? Or destroy the misunderstanding that is hindering that poor player's chess development? Of course, when a person is feeling energetic, (s)he would likely do the job in a more pleasant manner. But what should a teacher do when (s)he is not feeling great? I think that a good teacher would fire away in that situation. I'd be privileged if I could turn to Dzindzi for a no-nonsense critique of my play.

Nice to see a video without insults against some amateur players who most likely play chess for fun. The "easy system against the french" is just great at club level. I recently started playing 1.e4 and your recommendation against the french works really well.

Thank you very much, GM Dzindzi!

velly interesting

Lol R.Frog .. completely second u on that. 

GM Roman was almost in disbelief with Bxg6.. I might have done that a 100 times over till before watching this video! 

Very good video, thanks for uploading :) 

Entertaining and instructive! It's good to see a "real life otb" game here on Member Analysis... you should analyze one of mine Roman it would be funny!

I could send Dzindzi some games of mine that would leave him speechless... :D

interesting thanks

good , thank you!

It would be an exquisite delight to have the authority to watch the whole video. 

nice game, very instructive, thanks!
