To learn how to play this opening if White plays 3. Be2, what recent match did you suggest to study from Hungary? Peter ? vs. ? Thanks!
that position you arrived at, at 6:17, is bomb!!
YOU FELL OUT OF THE DARK OF THE SKY LADY SCANDIC POINT IS TO RETREAT AT D8-IF GOING FOR THE KING FILE YOOUR OFF!!
Glad you liked it... A little chaos is not to everyones taste :)
I enjoyed the lack of clarity in the middle game that black can often bring.
very good opening i want to see it again
Very nice...what I like about this video is opening ideas are presented nicely and author takes his time (I always like slow pace). Whether you like this opening is not the point...Charles has given us some pointers and thinking process which we can use in other openings. Many thanks.
don't like it. black gives up the idea of developing minor pieces first for an unclear endgame.
Thanks, very nice opening.
This is a good video. Thankyou.
for Tony
Wouldn't this opening video be better described as the 'Scandinavian Nimzowitsch' or 'Centre-counter Nimzowitsch'?
Just a thought, Thanks again.
