Really great stuff!!!
Great content. Thanks.
Do you have a video course on this, or know of some that you recommend? Awesome content, thank you for sharing!
This is as extensive as it gets, with many openings I simply do an overview of variations (especially if I have no students playing the lines). 90% of the content I produce is because one of my private students wants to play the opening at a higher level. I'll add revisiting this Opening to the list for CZcams.
Hi. I love your videos. Thank you. I have a question please about your Old Indian. So you talk about it being a response to e4. But how does it work against d4? I'm playing it against both with some good results. Do you know the "d6 Against Everything" book by Jorge and Hickl? They recommend Old Indian against d4. What are your thoughts please. Thank you so much.
I have an entire series where I play 1...d6 against everything on the channel. Check our playlists and you'll find it.
Thank you.
Hi Bryan. I found it! Your d3 and d6 series. Watching it now. And it looks like the d6 Old Indian type set up works well against d4 and e4. Yay! Thanks.
@@Daniel-G-P Happy to help, thanks for your support!
@@PalmBeachChess Very welcome! Your chess channel is one of the best out there.
I'm pretty confused how the position at 8:24 is desirable for black. Sure Stockfish calls it 0.0, and we have the bishop pair, but it looks so much easier for white to play. We have 2 sets of doubled isolated pawns and a king in the center. What would our plan be here?
Outplay the opponent in the open position with the Bishop Pair. We would suggest taking a look at a few middlegame books where the Bishop Pair versus Knight and Bishop is a main topic and see the overall themes of play in that endgame. The engine may be able to defend but typically it favors the pair in human games.
@@PalmBeachChess Thanks for the reply. Can you suggest a specific book? Or do you already have a list of suggestions posted somewhere? I'm enjoying this series a lot, thanks for all the great content!
@@irjake I would check out a modern resource focusing specifically on the topic: www.ichess.net/blog/mastering-chess-strategy-bishop-pair/ (like this one). It is difficult for me to suggest a specific text as I don't recall a resource that does an excellent job in explaining the ideas. I think I gained most of my knowledge on how to play those positions from Fischer games (master of the B-Pair). My 60 Memorable Games is a classic that has a few of those positions.
Hi The position at 8:17 where black plays Ng4 what does he do if white then plays h3??
g5
G5
Phillidor or Old Indian? Queen side pawns are very similar to Old Indian position, except b pawn, the "b" pawn is on b5 in Old Indian.
The differences between Phillidor and Old Indian is based off of white's choice of central structure. If it is with e4 (and without c4) it will be a Phillidor. If it is with d4 and c4 it will be an Old Indian. Generally, black has the same structure in both which is why we felt it would be a good idea to lump them both into a single video for idea orientation.
I hate how Nbd7 looks in this position against Nf3. Isn't there any other option like taking the pawn on d4?
Nevermind, taking on d4 leads to the Philidor main line.
Excellent presentation. An earlier prophylactic move to h6 helps black avoid the white Ng5 move. Forget the tempo factor. It works.

You didn't mention the possibility 6.Bxf7+ Kxf7 7.Ng5+. It is important for Black to be aware of this and how to deal with it.
