Very instructive, good variation to learn!
Hey thanks chess.com!
the website or the channel..
hey its the chess people!
Actually a disadvantage for me that you show this… I've been playing this with black for over 25 years and have had great success with it. Hopefully not too many people are looking at this and from now on I see a lot less 3. d4.....
What's your rating?
15K views so far, you're probably pretty safe as far as it goes
you just gotta pray that the video doesn’t go viral
its alright, most people click off the video once they hear the word sicilian
My old chess teacher (NM) used to keep beating me with the Pirc defense, and when I begged him to play something else as black, he played this and beat me with it.
Oof
Robert Ramirez?
@@Azerbaijani_Fighter No
@@ytmndman who?
@@Azerbaijani_Fighter Guy named Alex Eydelman, you've probably never heard of him
Ah yes, my favourite O'Kelly, also known as Accelerated Najdorf.
More like accelerated claustrophobia for white, accelerated victory for black.
Might as well be the best Sicilian variation to keep those unsuspecting e4 players at bay.
I'd do c4 as white after a6
I like calling this a delayed Sveshnikov and I know it actually. It's a much better Sveshnikov to say the least. (Yeah, I like playing the Sveshnikov/Kalashnikov variations.)
@@spd-kv6sd It's definitely not a better Sveshnikov, a6 at best leads to a main line Najdorf/Kan after 3.Nc3 and at worst leads to either a worse Alapin or a bad maroczy bind for black if white doesn't fall for one trick.
Wow. I tried this line out, not have even played the Sicilian before, and I got the exact line and the exact same blunder from my opponent. Thanks man!
Haha awesome! 👍
Just used a6 after c6 for the first time and trapped their bishop, and went on to win a very easy game against someone 100 points higher than the highest elo I've been 👍👍👍👍👍 subscribed
I'm guilty of having the same problem with this opening playing black. I'll be studying your video. Reading the comments, there seem to be so many "grandmasters" out there that want to advise you, but they should put out their own videos themselves.
True
Dude, I was struggling with this exact problem!
Thank you a lot!
Really interesting variation, thank you !
Love this channel! Regarding 3rd moves for white, d4 is worse for white than Nc3 and c3. The move c4 gives white the best chance by creating a Maroczy Bind from my experience. Your channel has the most variety of chess content that I’ve seen so far. Great teaching tool!
I just started playing and this really awesome.... You know how to teach, we'll thank you
This is why i love this channel,great upload...
I started playing Sicilian recently, will try this as well
I found this variation after learning the Najdorf Sicilian where a6 is played later; I was always annoyed by Bowdler Attack and Nyezhmetdinov-Rossolimo Attack, so I started playing a6 earlier, which let to this variation, great to see you covered it already. :)
Love your chess videos!!
Could this be reached after a transposition from the French Defense? I think so but not sure.
I always learn something (often, several somethings!) from your videos. Now, if I could only get my age-addled brain to retain half of it, I'd be all set! 🤭
Great video, Nelson!!
Agreed and same problem here playing as black. Very useful opening indeed, thanks for making one on this one! Lol.
I saw a vid from chess dojo I think or the guy with glasses channel a few years ago talking about this was so cool to use it against higher elo players throwing them off
Thanks for sharing!!
Really liked this opening video Nelson. I like to play aggressively with white and play positions where I can create attacking opportunities with many pieces on the board. Would love if you made videos of aggressive openings like the fried liver attack. Keep up the good work.
Fried liver theory is not worth learning. Learn the 2 variations up to about move 10. Anything past that is unreliable as it's like a 30 move long computer line where white wins a bishop
Taking notes here. a6 is something I have not played and on the white side, d4 is so natural and I have myself played it, not even knowing its not good. I will definitely look more into this.
I am pretty sure there's a reason why this so called opening is hardly played at all...
The only one i can think of rn is because moving the A pawn can screw you up real bad
It's because white doesn't play 3.d4 if they know what they're doing, they play c4 or c3 instead and get good versions of other openings
Because it fails to equalize with perfect play. So it's bad above 2200
@@kraknoix0075 Not sure what you mean by perfect play but nobody at 2200 plays perfectly. Lets just put it simply and straight: this is a bad opening and not something that should be taught to new players.
@@kraknoix0075 I think the main reason is that if white doesn't play d4 it's objectively much worse because white can have a very good maroczy bind or alapin formation after 3.c3 or 3.c4. Even if this doesn't happen black still has to be prepared for a main line Najdorf/Kan/Taimanov after 3.Nc3 and 4.d4. So why not just play a Najdorf/Kan/Taimanov and skip learning this extra theory?
Nelson, how about a video on importance of tempo!
I'm new in chess , what if instead of defending by Kc3 white goes for e5? kindly shower your knowledge.. thanku
I use this opening but on the left side of the board.... which is why i stopped using it because if you don't move your knight out quickly than its mate
I play this all the time, and usually the computer in analysis after the game tells me that a6 is a mistake.
Very nice tactic I am going to try it
I'm 600 and against e4, I have been using e4 - h5, d4 - g6 then I play bh6 regardless of their move. If their bishop takes then take back with the knight
I like how d4 is still theory and the main line
This opening i always play it with black and I looked at this video and was very surprised when I saw a6 because I am most probably the only person I know who plays this opening. I win with this line a lot.
As an e4 player, I get crush so badly after this video is uploaded
I’m gonna go try this now!!!
Isn't this line bad because it allows white to go for Maroczy Bind? I always play 3. c4 here and my opponents usually suffocate for the lack of space. I mean it's playable for black but I always prefer white in these kind of positions.
I agree; that's my approach too. The delay of Black's ...Nf6 strongly invites 3 c4.
Tried laying twice and both times white went Bc4 on 3rd move. Do you have follow up on that?
I feel like white could play an improved alapin sicilian, with an extra knight developed
C5 is the best move after e4
My favourite opening is the Four-Knight opening
Mmm, very principled indeed! I find it very boring but who doesn’t like an aesthetic position?
I guess you love draws
Mine is scholars mate while playing white, with black pieces it's fools mate.
what if e5 instead of Nc3 after we attack the pawn
How to get pgn of it?
what if white play bc4 instead of d4? what could i do?
White Made some Dubious Moves, White's opening should prioritize Piece Development like Magnus rather than uncalculated Aggression.
Playing like this king has no cover😢
5:30 their is a bishop defending
Please if you can make videos...strong Opening with white blitz game
You know I already know how to play against this!
An interesting video but I'm not a c5 player that's just not the kind of position I'm used to. I'll sacrifice my f pawn both as white and black, and castle short. That's my Ideal position as black it's a little bit harder to castle in some lines but you are supposed to trade off that annoying bishop anyway.
I used to have higher win rate as black but now I have higher win rate as white
the caro con came out like 3 days before this, so you're just asking to lose at this point
Nooo my coach already taught me this!
Been playing that since 1969!
There are many off beat things in the Sicilian which black can play.
I struggle whit d4 if white plays it
I agree most white e4 players would play 3 d4. 2 a6 may not fare well after 3. d3, closed Sicilian.
What about White meeting Black’s a6 with c4?
Nelson, I noticed a slight error in your analysis of 3. d4 in the O'Kelly. after 3...cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5, white can play Nf3, and while yes, black hasn't wasted time with d6 as he would in the Kalashnikov, if white goes with a Bc4 Bg5 Qd2 0-0-0 setup, black's d-pawn is still backward and a6 is proven to have wasted a tempo.(Black can develop his dark-squared bishop easier, but the pin of the f6 knight means that the normal Kalashnikov square of e7 would still be sensible.) a6 only makes sense after white makes a threat to play Ndb5. not prohpylactically.
Also, after Bb4, Bc4, and the only serious try for black is Qc7, after which Qd3, followed by Bg5, and black is passive, out of ideas, and positionally refuted.
@@felipesierra2024 With perfect play black does not even equalize, so it is playable in sub 2300 chess I guess.
10/10 thumbnail
What if white pushes e5 after black Nf6
Their is just one small problem if he plays c3 after a6, it is really hard to win so I usually draw if anyone plays c3 for me
Did you face 3. c4? This is more frustrating for black than 3. c3.
After F6 if white play pawn to e5. What should I do?
Queen to a5 which is check, then take the pawn e5 with the queen.
So what about 4. e5 (after Nf6). Like in Alekhine's... Seems a decent move if I would play a rapid game. Can we handle that?
Qa5 check and take the free pawn.
You really fell into something no one above 900 should fall into
11:24 Why is the code 2a6 and not ... Sa6 or Ba6 or just a6 or Ra6 ...
Oh this is so me. As white I always play the Italian which is my trusted weapon. A chess teacher would probably scold me for always playing the same but that also means I know a lot of theory (for a 1300 lol). As black it‘s really hard to find a way to equalize. The better opponents know their lines and immediately punish even just inaccuracies. I know a few important answers to the most common openings but actually remembering ideas and lines is so hard lol
i always play italian as white and french/benoni as black
I have no idea what you are talking about. Punishing inaccuracies is not something that happens before master play. Atleast it does not happen 1700+ where I play. Mistakes and blunder gets punished, inaccuracies very rarely.
I like beat e4 with nimzowitch opening
After we go N.f6, what do we do if they push pawn to e5?
Qa5+...then capture the pawn that attacked your knight..
Great !!!
every time i see/play sicilian as black, i get scared for the smith mora gambit, those people can go crazy with all the theory sacrifices....
I'm betting on 1. a6
(I meant moving one of the rook pawns by 1 square, if I messed up my notations)
It's 2. Nf3, a6
I want MVL reply on black playing a6
I think I've seen engines play this a6
Hello! Enjoying your content very much, thank you! Would be great if you could create a video about playing against d4. Because indian game is not very enjoyable for many players and other less popular continuations does not that clear. I mostly play englund gambit, but when opponent knows line, it comes to disaster for me.
I recommend Dutch defense with g6
In my case it was the other way. I won more playing black than white
my winrate used to be higher as black than white
Radjabov played this in the Candidates against Caruana. (He lost.)
I usually play 2.a3 against sicilian, this doesnt work on me. Still interesting video and i should try this opening soon
Same
As white the closed Sicilian is better for beginners as there is less theory and there’s limited things you can do whereas in the open there’s the najdorf, the dragon, the accelerated dragon, the hyper accelerated dragon, the sveshnikov, the Kalashnikov, one of the reasons Sicilian players play the Sicilian is because it’s a black opening most of the time, most of the time white controls the opening and the opening is names after that they do like the Italian (and it’s variants, classical Giocco piano, giocco pianissimo, the evans gambit) the Spanish (ruy Lopez) the Russian (petrov), the London, the scotch etc the Sicilian player controls the game so you can just put the Grand Prix attack which Sicilian players at the lower levels (they shouldn’t be playing the Sicilian at that point) don’t know what to do
Wow, I have always loved playing as black
Radjabov played it in the candidates
I DID NOT HAVE TROBLE
Oh, dear, apparently White's game is really in its "last throes" after all...
I don't care if that's against e4 d4 or a3. If there's an opening I click
This is like a najdrof but black gets 2 moves bruh.
Love froM INDIA.
you have to play c3
I am totally stucked and i love chess I don't know how to improve my game plz anyone help me 🙂
Where are you "stucked" at, what rating? :) I recommend watching tutorial and/or speedrun videos by Daniel Naroditsky he explains the basics _and_ the advanced stuff very well.
@@godfreyofbouillon966 I am stucked at 900-1100 I can't move from there also I don't have a good strategy Is there a good opening for me which is more effective 🙂
I'm an 1000 but I recommend London system for white and Czech pirc for black. I suggest going to a very underrated channel Robert Ramirez he will teach you everything
@@erect1031 Many would recommend you London system and it can be very good or very bad depends on perspective. Its good because it's reasonably foolproof and you will get wins, thats for sure. Its bad because it wont help you to actually learn to play chess and think strategically about chess in general and chess openings in particular. I personally would recommend playing something else. Danish Gambit with white is my favorite and it is a good opening for someone of your level. With black idk what would be good at this level. You may want to search youtube for "chess openings tier list beginners", Hikaru Nakamura with Levi from Gotham Chess did a whole review from a beginners perspective. Pick any they considered good and play ;)
@@godfreyofbouillon966Thanks bro❤
There are many great options, once you are content with playing a worse position. Latvian and elephant gambit, scandinavian gambits, Duras gambit, Balogh...
You name it. They all are good. If you make a spreadsheet of why you lost, you'll perhaps write down "bad opening" once every 20 games at most.
Difference is that every mistake is fatal in those openings. In a "good" opening, you can usually afford a few inaccuracies. Elephant gambit i played a lot and sometimes it works, but it backfires a lot if they kist play solid and don't participate in your madness
@@kraknoix0075 Playing bad positions is just part of the experience. Analyze your games and you'll find out you could've put more resistance.
Second
Sparks chess is the worse game. It elevates Clair’s black game beyond where it should reasonably be. And it frequently makes quick moves that a human would have to ponder longer over. The game is neither fair nor instructive and only turns me off not encourages me. Down with Sparks!
Click bait
just play the caro-kann trust me you win every game that you win
Thanks a lot Nelson! Ecatly what I was looking for! 😊👍♟
