- I'm back after an extended break filming the videos for 100 Endgames You Must Know! Here I take on a viewer, Mhamed, in a 15+2 game on lichess.org. The unusual move 5.a3!? in the Austrian Attack is a move I picked up in a New in Chess SOS article many moons ago. The idea is to discourage Black's most active attempt with 5...c5. Mhamed surprises me with 5...a5, and I build a nice pawn center. Black misses his chance for counterplay, and his position begins to crumble when his knight becomes unexpectedly trapped in the center.

Hi John , it was nice to play with you !
Hope for a revenge game :)
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Kash Chance Instablaster ;)
@Ibrahim Alvin thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ibrahim Alvin it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my ass !
@Kash Chance Glad I could help xD
The fact that John says he hasn’t played or taught chess because he wanted to really focus on producing the videos speaks to how important and serious he takes his job. I’m sure the videos will be superb.
Agree - Amazing work ethic and overall attitude on life. Welcome back John!
You have no idea how much we've missed you, NO IDEA!
He's too busy for us... Sad times.
Agreed.
@@bencrow6663 Lay off the guilt trip! Let the man live. He'll always come back.
You have no idea and i mean absolutely no idea
Hey John, this is guys
Ahahaa :D
John wolfe?
John, never leave us like that again
It's like seeing your childhood friend for the first time in years ! :D
Your content is great!! thanks for your dedication.
You are undoubtedly one of the best chess teachers and communicators of this generation.
I've watched multiple chess CZcamsrs during your absence, but no one comes close to the great John Bartholomew. Welcome back my friend!
John has taught me so much about chess. Every day even though he wasn't posting videos, I'd watch previous videos, and learn from his moves. I'd usually fall asleep watching his chess videos.
JB is always casually dropping wisdom.
"If you have a choice between two options that, one looks messy one looks safer and you think they are about equivalent in terms of an advantage, you should go for the one where your opponent has less counter-play"
*sips coffee* .... just a really nice pawn mass here.
pestrosianesque
So nice to see you back, and on Lichess too :) Cannot wait for the videos for 100 Endgames You Must Know! Also, not a big deal at all, but your layout had your video covering the material you'd captured so we couldn't see you were up any material throughout -- perhaps next time on Lichess your video could go on the left of frame covering the chat / spectators? Just a thought. Thanks for the informative game.
It's a post-Christmas miracle!! What a wonderful surprise to wrap up 2019.
I remember I was sad in 2017 around Christmas. I had just lost my awesome job. And on Christmas Day, John uploaded an awesome Christmas Chess video. It was one of the best parts of my Christmas :)
John! Great to see you back.
Very happy to see you back, John. Been missing your videos, bro. I wish you blessing upon blessing concerning your new business ventures!
WTH.... the best chess youtuber can't be gone that long. Need these standard videos bro.
I couldn’t believe what i saw when i saw the notification!!
I’ve been waiting for this moment, John
Love you John. Don’t worry about uploading on CZcams. We understand you’re super busy now. Have a super duper 2020!
Missed you John. Glad to see you back playing a standard game (my favorite)
Nice to see you posting again! Can't wait for more.
And the greatest chess tutor on CZcams is back! John, you are the only chess-related channel I can benchwatch for hours without being bored. You have definitely contributed to my rapid improvement on making solid moves and thinking. Thank you for your content, keep it up!
The explanations are refreshing, glad you're doing okay.
Welcome back after 2-3 months off! I'll look for you on Twitch as well. Thanks for the video.
Hey John! So great to see you back-and great video title! This is the video that prompted me to sign up for Chessable. Thanks for all your hard work!
Hi John, I'm new in chess, and I've learned a lot from your vids on chess principles. I do apply them playing against my computer, for the time being I have 2 main roads for improvement: 1-be patient and think twice before moving , and 2- look at opponent threats. I realized that I've watched 84 of your standard chess vids over last month ! I'm progressing in understanding all of your points, options, threats, moves. You are by far the best teacher on youtube. Thanks to you, my learning from your vids made me going from frustration of losing 90% to having fun battling and winning 50%. But I understand it will be a long road to climb the ladder reaching 1000. Being now retired I'll have time to play and learn. Thanks again 👍
Sooo good to have you back!! - Guys
My man! Great to have you back. Ive gotten so much better at chess because of you. These videos help me *think* when playing instead of just reacting. It is really appreciated. Went from 800-1405 in a year, playing limited games and actually studying my games after I play them. So thanks for that.
I love JB's content and those explanations , elaborate enough for the masses.
John! Glad to see you back.
Huge fan.
Glad you're back john! I'm slowly making my way through your standard playlist, but it's great to see you post something fresh.
Welcome Back, great video John! 😌💪
Would love to see you make GM one day but your excellence in teaching chess is really exceptional. There's a reason people always recommend your videos to those looking to learn. I also know you've tutored some players who have gone on to become very strong, obviously the natural strength of a student is a factor, but a good teacher makes all the difference in the world, in any discipline. Thanks for all the videos and free knowledge John
Happy New Year :) Good to see you back, missed your content.
Welcome back!
Hey Big J! Been a while since I stopped by! Congrats on passing the big 100k Mark! You gotta show us your 100k CZcams Play button when they send it. Maybe a special video or something even! Good to see you again!
I went from 1200 blitz to 1800 classical in a little over than a year by watching your videos and guys like you. Thanks for sharing all this info ! Makes the game a lot more enjoyable for a lot of us. All the best in 2020.
Wellcome back John...and on lichess
You don’t know how happy I am to see this video in my feed
Glad to see you back on CZcams. You need to make the board bigger in the new layout. Keep making standard time control videos! Happy New Year :D
Glad to see your back, I always love your long standard videos. I think I have literally watched them all!
Absolutely love all your games. Your narration is straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you!!
He appears! Great to see you, John. 😄
Happy holidays, John. May your chessable content be well received.
Great to have a video again, John. Happy holidays and keep up the good work on the Chessable videos! I'll be sure to check them out, thank you.
Welcome back John!
Glad to see you're still playing, John.
hey John, happy New Year! thanks so much for the time and effort you put into your work and the chess community.
just wanted to say that I don't think anyone (back me up with likes, y'all) minds your computer fan as much as you do, lol. it's really no big deal
Happy New Year, brotha. I love the videos. I've been playing my whole life and am at around a 1600 rated ELO. What I like is that even though you're miles ahead, you are pretty down to earth and humble about your play. You explain it all very simply that anyone at any skill level can pick up on. Keep it up
Man, the amount of possibilities in moves are staggering ! Always very instructive your commented games.
John! Missed you bud.
Nice,I'm a newer sub and love ur videos. I'm a 44 yr old stonemason and love chess. Thank you for the time u spend to make these
Exceptional good move from you to come back this year John, cause it gave me a chance to still being able to thank you so much for all the videos you recorded, and all the lessons you gave us in 2019. I am sure many, with me have became much better players thanks to you! I wish you a Great 2020 with good health, freedom and happiness! See you in 2020
Hey John! Great to see you back!
Wow! You're back! That's awesome!
Great to see a new video from you John
Good to see you back we missed you!!! I got to get up to Minnesota sometime or you can come down to Tulsa, Oklahoma you are always welcome!!!
Glad your back and doing well happy holidays!
Love your work Jhon hi from australia
Happy New Year John, glad you are back
So glad to have you back, John!
GG. Instructive. It is so easy to go wrong as black in Pirc. Wow - that sounds like a TON of work on the ending thing. Hope you get some heavy sales! Have a great new years!
Nice to see you back John, happy new year!
Glad you're back!! Happy New Year!
Congrats on 100k! you deserve it john
Missed you John! Have a great New Years! :)
Thank you for all of your content, John. Informative, entertaining, what more could anyone want?
Hi John, your description says something about you filming 100 endgames? Where are the videos?! :) Good to see you come back!!!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN. Been missing these standard videos so much! Please keep doing them John! ❤️
Thanks for the birthday gift John 🤟 Glad all is well
Thank you for sharing and instructive analysis.
Interesting that as soon as the engine was turned on, the fans started to spin fast. You can hear them clearly.
Feel si bless to watch your new content
Yaayy, missed you john!
00:00 john.exe has stopped working.
Very happy to see you again ... i thought you stopped doing these videos ... thank god you did not .... 😊
I love watching these videos, I always learn something new. Thanks.
Thanks, Kyle - happy to hear that!
Welcome back John, not bad at all. Thx for the good game and for the info along the way too. Cool.
Great to have you back John!
Good to hear you are bussy doing things you like and happy to see you back!
Missed your vids!! Happy new years!
So glad to see you back. This is the only chess channel on CZcams I like even more than I do Agadmator's.
Love your vids man. Been watching you since about 700 Elo and now I'm 1300. Not necessarily thanks to you but your climbing the rating ladder especially helped along with other educational videos
HEEEREEE'S JOHNNY 😲
Hey john! This is zach a barista you once knew who moved :) I followed many moons ago but here I am on New Years In the middle of the night watching for the first time. You seem to be a legend and I am truly impressed with your skill and delivery in this video and others. Hope all is well for you and yours and will continue to watch as you post videos moving forward. Btw... I thought WoW pvp had strategy. I literally can’t keep up with these moves.
Dude!! Great to hear from you, Zach! Appreciate you still keeping tabs on my content. Lots of strategy in chess indeed :) What are you up to these days? Thanks again for watching and for your kind words.
nice to see new videos! greetings from germany
Thanks John! Love your content, such a likable guy and you're filthy at chess!
I'm very glad, you're back, John!! So, I have a question, and maybe you can refer me to a video, where you talked about that. As a beginner, I have trouble analyzing my own games. When the engine tells me, I made a blunder, then I can mostly understand why... But when I try to analyze on my own before that (as you recommended), I don't see the critical moments or what I could have done differently. So mostly I just skip aimlessly through the game and become non the wiser. Any tips on how to improve your chess analysis, when you are a beginner and don't have IM chess vision yet?
Thank you for all the things I have already learned from you!
He’s back! I was just watching your old videos last night wishing you’d make some more!
Nobody:
John: loving queen g6 here
Nice stream John. Nice to hear Your inner thought process. We agreed on a lot of moves in this Game. I was thinking many times on moves and seconds later I hear You mentioning the same move in Your commentary ;)
I can *almost* forgive your looooong absence because of the brilliant title to this video.
Welcome back John, I was worried
He's back!!
Happy New Year ☺️ Good to see you again ☺️
Welcome back, John!
Glad to see that you're posting now.
John, thank you for always posting quality content!! It’s invaluable
Good to have you back John
Hey John, please keep us updated on the 100 endgames videos and how to access them. I’ve been looking for a resource exactly like that. It sounds excellent.
Thank you John for the standard game! Highly appreciated.
Good to see you back, John!
