Have you seen Shafi vs Jones at the British Championships just a few days ago? Would love a video from you about that game.

[@DaltonPerrine]

I had not seen that game but it looks like Jones played the 5…e6 variation which I recommend in my course so that’s very cool to see! He also had a nice attack to win. I may very well make a video about that game soon. Thanks for bringing it to my attention 👍🏻

Often opponent plays e3 or Nf3 against c5. I'd love to see how you handle that.

[@DaltonPerrine]

Against 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 c5 3. e3 I recommend 3…cxd4 4. exd4 g6 followed by …Bg7, …0-0 then …d5 trying to give white a bad version of an isolated queen pawn structure.
Against 3. Nf3 I recommend 3…cxd4 4. Nxd4 e6 planning to play …d5 next and open the center.
We’ll probably get some game examples of these lines as the speedrun progresses.
