Very good idea . Easy to remeber and apply.. I am glad to find this New channel of à GM . Keep up the good work . Amateur from Tunisia
I'm glad you liked the idea! Thanks for your kind words! Best wishes from Spain!
By "chess prompts", I'm reminded of when Levy Rossman frequently says that a GM "poses questions" on the chessboard-- in other words, having initiative means making the position a puzzle for the opponent to defend, and therefore being in control of the game, even if the opponent defends appropriately and the game ends in a draw, it's better to be the one who's attacking or pressuring. some examples of chess prompts: If all the pieces disappeared in this position would I be winning the endgame? Do any of my pieces feel awkward or unuseful? Which of my opponents pieces are a vital defender of the king? Can I convert a short term advantage into a long term one? ... Is this sort of thing what you mean?
Hi there! By chess prompts, I mean recognizing signals that there's an opportunity on the board. There's a little something in the position that signals an opportunity. A loose piece, the situation of a particular piece, the absence of enemy pieces close to their king, etc. These signals are related to our intuition. Intuition is developed by high quality experiences such as tactical training, game analysis, etc. In the game featured in this video, the prompt was external: the intense gaze of Peter Svidler. It indicated the presence of an interesting possibility on the board. Unfortunately, I couldn't uncover the well-hidden idea at that moment. Your examples, such as considering the endgame position, evaluating the usefulness of pieces, identifying key defenders, and converting short-term advantages, are indeed related. They all revolve around posing questions to understand and capitalize on opportunities in the game. Regards!
@@GMJoseGonzalez ok, so in this case it was recognizing how few squares the queen had.
you are great sir , simple exeplanation of the deep chess ideas ! thanks alot
The move e6 offering a second pawn by black is called Iceland Gambit.
Advance variation it's the best way to combat this opening(Short variation)
That's a valid point! The Advance Variation ( Short Variation) is indeed a strong way to counter the Caro-Kann. However, I believe the choice can also depend on personal style and skill level. Thanks for sharing your insight!
@@GMJoseGonzalez I tried too many times 2 Knights Attack against Caro-Kann players. 99% of them know the main line.I have learned that space in chess is vital.Openings like Caro-Kann and French are not played at high level just because of lacking of space.That's a little bit funny because my main weapon against 1.e4 is French Defense. Most of the super GMs are recommending this variation against this tough nut to crack called Caro-Kann. Even Stockfish agrees with this variation
I agree with your point about space advantage; facing it at the highest levels can indeed be daunting. However, it's also important to remember that having a space advantage comes with its own responsibilities, as it can become a target. As a French Defense player, you surely understand this well. BTW the French defense has been my main weapon against 1.e4 for more than three decades! At lower levels, I lean towards focusing on piece play rather than controlling a space that may end up being destroyed. Best, José

Yeah
I'm excited to share my favorite antidote against the Scandinavian Defense. The resulting positions are full of attacking possibilities. As far as I understand, Black is struggling right from the opening. Don't hesitate to share your ideas in the comments below.
Thank you very much for advising Bd2. Interesting complications occur that might be in white's favor as black is probably not expecting this move.
You are welcome! According to Chessbase database 5.Bd2 is the third option by popularity after 5.Nf3 and 5.Bc4, so as you pointed it may come as a surprise. Cheers.
@@GMJoseGonzalez My bot gives Qcheck instead of Qa5. That is a pity. Continue the good work.
Thank you for the tips and insights on breaking the Caro-Kann. However, I just don't play against it very often at my level ~1500. Would appreciate your commentary on 1. e4 c6 2. Ne2 d5 3. e5 Bf5 4. Nd4 Bg6 5. Nc3 expecting c5 with Bb5+ ...
Hi there, I have considered 2.Ne2 as it seems tricky but I changed my mind and rejected it, as the idea is too artificial. The knight comming to e2, blocking the bishop and needing to move again in order to continue the development, is suspicious. My experience with such unnatural ideas is bad in the long term. While the Two Knight Variation sets a number of 'good' traps based on natural development. Best wishes!
I only do the fried liver attack when I'm white Very helpful video😎
Amazing tutorial, thanks a lot! This idea is really good!
Glad you liked it!
Do you teach lessons? Is there somewhere I could contact you? Website? Etc? I’m looking for a coach for my son and myself, please let me know asap!! If not, thank you for the great videos!! So crisp and clearly explained are the concepts that it makes learning much simpler. Thank you!
Please contact me at gmgonzalezgarcia@gmail.com to give you details on my private lessons. Thank you for your kind words. Best wishes!
Watching this as a Caro-Kann player, this was soooo helpful!!! I hate that 3. Nf3 move..
I've been playing the Philidor since 2018 and this is the first time I've found a series of tutorials to explain how to play it. I started off playing it as a way to segue into the Black Lion, but things didn't always work out so I've been gently moving away from the opening and towards the Pirc. But now I'll be happy to explore the Philidor more. I'm grateful for these videos Grandmaster Jose!
The same happened to me a hundred years ago (early 90s). I transitioned from the French to 1...e5 by playing the Lyon variation, but didn't work out, so I moved to 2...Nc6. Only much later I understood the virtues of playing the exchange variation (also known as the Antoshin variation). I hope it works out well for you. Best wishes!
Thank you. I now see a better way to free black with d5!
I'm happy to share with you a second video on the Philidor Defense!!! This time I explore the main line 3.d4 where I recommend the so-called exchange variation 3...exd4 as a way to obtain an interesting position full of resources. By trading on d4 we define the character of the game taking our opponents into our territory as soon as move 3!!! In the video I explain 5 key resources to put White's position under pressure. I'd be happy to read your thoughts on this line and receive suggestions of other themes you would like me to treat in the channel. Best wishes!
Ah, the exchange variation. A good choice. Simple and solid, avoiding the complications of the Hanham variation.
yeah I think the philodor is bad if the opponent doesnt go for fried liver and plays principled chess because you simply have less space and devlopment
Hi there, I don't think the Philidor is a bad defense. From a practical point of view is great! Soon I'll give you a detailed explanation in a new Philidor video. Stay tuned. And thanks for your comment!
Any advice on correcting a thinking flaw(maybe more a lack of thinking). Many chess games I have either a material advantage or big positional advantage but I simply ignore my opponents ideas and my position will slowly crumble or I miss his tactical shots. I have a difficult time asking myself what my opponent threatens when I’ve been in control of the game for a while. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, us amateurs are none too good at piece harmony. I don’t think there is much written on this subject and I’d appreciate again any help you can give. Thank you kind sir. Edit: Just went through some of your other videos and got my answer to avoid blunders. Thank you!
Thanks, advanced staff!
Great lesson Jose, thanks.
I like this idea, but if you play the Philidor you must prepare for 3.d4!
Hi there, today I will release a video on 3.d4. Stay tuned!
Great game. The match Spassky x Geller, candidates 1968, was a complete course on the closed Sicilian.
Thanks Jose... I appreciate great lesson here. Very unique play indeed. I like the simplicity of your explanation. I always dreaded the Caro-Kann Defense. not any more after this lesson. Lets see how I improve. Thanks once again, all the way from Nairobi, Kenya
Excelente introducción a la defensa Philidor maestro Gonzalez, muy interesante el ataque del hígado frito. Lo había escuchado pero no había visto sus ideas principales. Gracias por la explicación.
Gracias!! Pronto compartiré otras ideas importantes de la Philidor. Saludos!
Hey everyone! Did you know about this idea for dealing with Fried Liver Attack lovers? This is just the first video in our series on the Philidor Defense. Stick around for more!
Another great video buddy! nice!
Please try solving this chess puzzle. It's almost impossible to win with white. 5r1r/p1p1R3/1pkN1R1p/2p5/4N3/4BK2/q7/8/ White to play. Have fun! I have tried myself but I can't find a way to win.
Thank you, very interesting. I find caro-kann games to be quite fun contrary to the horrible french which i despise facing. Excellent video !
Thank you!! I play the French myself but facing it is quite challenging. I used to play 3.Nd2 and while the resulting positions are interesting, is hard to claim an advantage. What do you play against the French?
Excelente trabajo maestro José.
Gracias!! Está línea siempre me ha gustado. Ya le había dedicado un video en mi canal en español. czcams.com/video/Gc0yz-STOzs/video.htmlsi=D_aBKpAoYvCC3_PI Saludos cordiales.
Maestro, me han jugado 2 veces la variante con e5 en lugar de e6. Si tienes alguna linea de cómo continuar sería bienvenida.
Hola!! Te han jugado ...e5 en la Najdorf? (1.e4 c5 2.Cf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Cxd4 Cf6 5.Cc3 a6 6.g3 e5) Para mi la manera más prometedora para entrar a la DEADLY TABIYA es jugando 2.Nc3 como una anti-Nadorf asi induces 2...d6 o 2...a6. (A los que juegan Najdorf no les va bien jugar 2...Cc6 por que les podríamos jugar 3.Cf3 y 4.d4.) precisamente ...e5. De esta manera evitamos ...e5 en la Najdorf que siempre es latoso. Saludos y suerte en tus partidas!
In this video, I'm going to show you a really effective line for playing against the Sicilian defense. It's amazing how many skilled players fall for this tricky line and lost as Black. What's great about this line is that there are several ways to reach the key position, or Tabiya. I've covered various ways to get there in the video, but I might have missed some. If you know another way to reach the Tabiya, please share it with us in the comments.
My advice is to talk a little bit faster next time😅
Even at 1.25x seems a bit slow lol
I love your videos. You are one of the best GMs I have ever watched. Thanks for the good video, buddy
Thanks for your good vibes!! It means a lot to me buddy!!
Very good for advanced players. Gracias
Very nice, GM Jose! Can you please explain if you prefer your variation of 1.e4 c6, 2.Nf3 d5, 3.Nc3 dxe4, 4.Nxe4 Bf5, 5.Ng3 Bg6, 6.h4 h6, 7.Ne5 Bh7, 8.Qh5 g6, 9.Qf3 versus 9.Bc4 e6, 10.Qe2? Many thanks, Sir!
Thank you for your question! While both ideas are winning, in this case, I'd rather win material than play for complete positional dominance. A couple of bad moves could spoil the advantage. In the line I suggested in the video, the main issue is extracting the queen from a8. Once you work this out with the engine, White's position is winning. It might be a matter of taste, but I've decided against 9.Bc4 long ago. Best, José
@@GMJoseGonzalez Many thanks, Sir! I will switch to playing your your suggestion as I have been playing the other line.
I'd like to take private lessons with you
Thank you for your interest! For more details about chess lessons, please contact me at gmgonzalezgarcia@gmail.com Best wishes, Jose

I play this to avoid the Berlin.
I don't blame you 😉. But by playing the Ruy Lopez, you miss out on part of the fun of the Four Knights Opening, which includes facing 3...Bc5 and 3...g6 from time to time. Best wishes, José
@@GMJoseGonzalez I agree! It was only a few month ago that I started thinking that I should be trying more openings because maybe there's a something to learn from each of them.
Nice video hope you keep going
Thanks!!
