By: zerolord999. on 06 Feb 12, 00:28:48
jrobi the knight played to? A3 @3:17 was to prevent you from playing your knight to c2 threatening his rook cause you know his queen wasnt going to attack your knight cause it was lined up with the bishop but its still looking silly but it had purpose ^_^

By: dp1569. on 20 Jun 11, 17:35:17
Jrobi, at? about 9:53ish, the most obvious move in my mind is to put your knight on f4 attacking whites queen. After the queen moves off, knight can then move to e2 forking white and capturing a rook.

By: fundyspokerblog. on 13 Jun 11, 21:31:44
"Thrust F6 forward like a Spartan? spear". Hahahahahaha! GREAT line, which is one of the reasons I love your videos. Not only educational but entertaining as well. Other guys just sound so boring when they're explaining moves but you come up with lines that also show your passion for the game. "Ripping into the position" is another one of my favourites.

By: alexlaw7734. on 09 May 11, 06:23:20
I agree with thegreatNEb I feel resigning here? is a bit early. Ra2 would have garunteed the win back of a pawn, and the black king still has to move all the way to the c file in order to promote the weaker pawns.

That last move Re6 ...
By: thegreatNEb. on 14 Mar 11, 18:28:14
That last move Re6 was brilliant. I'm very much a novice, so I feel like White gave up too soon here. In subsequent moves I see the check from the knight, followed by the rook falling, followed by the pawn on b3 being taken. Is there no chance that the white king and knight could stop? the black pawns from promotion? I find the King and Knight combo to be very frustrating to attack with in the endgame. great video again, many thanks!

By: arthurdaroxtar. on 27 Mar 12, 13:52:52
white is in trouble after rook c2, because the rooks will double on the? c file and also your b4 idea doesnt work as blacks dark square bishop could snag up the pawn bishop takes b4. so i would say rook c2 is big trouble for whit!

By: SirCourageWolfEsq. on 22 Feb 12, 23:03:12
I've tried the advance variation of the french defense as white and it is probably of my? least favorite games to play as white. Lately in the french after d4 and d5, I've just avoided the advance variation completely. It honestly leaves white defending for the beginning of the match and I prefer to pin down the enemy as much as possible right from the start.

By: mixednuts14. on 08 Oct 11, 12:03:29
At 7:04 I don't really see a threat with black bringing down his rook to c2. Couldn't you just advance your pawn? with b4 and avoid the "bishop/pawn fork" if black were to play Rc3, like in your variation. Anyway, great vids. I love listening to your thought process. It's a blast watching GM's, prodigies, as well as players more on my level. Thanks and keep posting!

By: sumeetkamat. on 18 Jul 11, 08:46:51
9:26 a possibly better move for white would have been rook to h6. If black takes with the rook? you recapture with the pawn and you have a pass pawn supported by the bishop. Then u would swing your rook to support it to further advance your pawn

Thank you so very much jrobi for all your hard work putting these fascinating chess videos on YouTube! My game has certainly improved as a result of watching them. I don't? know whether you've heard of The Master Game series? It was a chess competition for grandmasters broadcast by the BBC from around 1978-1983 and had me glued to the TV as a teenager. They are on YouTube too, put there by Sirbob1. Just put "The Master Game" and "chess" in the search box. Keep up the good work! Kevski2000

By: yistackness. on 28 Apr 11, 08:10:30
at 12:17 white's king? is on g7 and black's king is on e7, and with white to move, instead of playing g6, he should have tried to get his bishop onto h4 first (2 moves), and so that way, if white pushes his pawn to g6, it's a discovered check. And if black move king to e8, then when white takes pawn for pawn, black would be in check again, and the very next move, white would promote to queen! Game over...

just a little comment, what would have? happend if at min 12:06 you move your b pawn, in that way his bishop have two options, take it, or not take it, and if he takes, he is lost because now you can promote your pawn, and in any other position you can just move your bishop to attack his b pawn. i dont know, i just think that play is better than Kh4

By: AlliandreWoW. on 01 Mar 12, 20:50:40
I think it's better to play 7.f3 over 7.Be2. You? stop the threat of 8..Ng4 while also leaving the bishop free to attack with c4. You're also providing extra support to your e4 pawn.

I've found that many players have an obsession with both attacking fianchettoed bishops and keeping their own. With the exception of the Modern, it's really not the most efficient strategy. So long as the trade is bishop for bishop,? the one losing that fianchettoed bishop usually comes out with the slight ADVANTAGE,

Just as a side note, before you moved Be3, black preparing to fianchetto, you should've moved your white Bishop to e2. That way you prevent his? Knight going to g4 and attacking your dark squared Bishop without which you can't develop strong attacks in dragon sicillian

Video duration: 545 seconds
Global video hits: 6382

A match that takes a look at rapidly changing from a queen side attack to a king side attack and how that can sometimes catch your opponent off guard. The match also shows how creating complications can sometimes mask the most deadly yet subtle threat.

By: Henrique676. on 02 Aug 09, 16:12:11
I know this comment comes a little late, but i just saw the video. You opponent had no way to save the queen and avoid the checkmate at the same time, so maybe thats why he didnt do anything to avoid the checkmate. Also you opponent could have trade his bishop for your rook, because you had the queen lines up with the rook, but lucky you he missed that. Cheers.?

Hello jrobi I know this is an older one of your games but as? a newer chess player I had a question. At the 1:29 mark before the bishop knight exchange From whites perspective what is wrong with H3 to try to chase away the bishop instead of trying to block the pin. Although doing this still would not stop you from doing the exchange.

By: BenBlunt1. on 03 Mar 09, 07:41:27
At? 4.30 you should not have taken the bishop with your bishop, you should have ignored the threat and played cxb4 instead. from there you would be winning, use your knight to 'restrain' his queenside pawn. control the c-file, connect your rooks, create an outpost square for your knight, blockage his pawns... activate pawn rams, and destroy his queenside pawn structure, but don't completely destroys it, let him send his forces to the queenside. Lastly, shift all your pieces to attack his king.

Yes nayef012 thats exactly what i was referring to. Jrobi should consider himself lucky he didnt notice that because if he did that pawn would have caused some? serious damage. Plus it was protected by the bishop being even more of a threat. Probrably this player didnt no about en passant because i find that alot of players dont no about the rule. When i first started playing i didnt no about it either until some one used it on me in a game.

By: eZoren11. on 27 May 11, 05:33:41
Bg5 is a terrible move, the reasoning is that in this setup once black gets a lockdown on g5 or swap the dark squared bishop, white's only chance is in the center, hence black is in strategic control? of the game since the dark squares in the center are heavily dominated by the black pieces - but it is a plan that is fairly difficult for a lower rated player to implement (aka e5, an equally TERRIBLE move which completely justified Bg5).

I thought the same ...
By: jolly113. on 18 Feb 11, 06:58:14
I thought the same at first, it's what seemed natural. But looking ahead, that dark square bishop on F6 generates great influence. He uses it for the combination attack that delivers mate in 2 after the exchange. Way better than the extra 2 points of material he would have? picked up with the fork, wouldn't you agree?

By: tweakmeup. on 29 Dec 09, 10:56:25
I would say, that blacks big mistake in this game was the move pawn to e5. This move created his weakness on his d5 square. A central square? which is not protected by a pawn. By this, I commend you from recognizing his weakness and capitalizing on it by posting a knight in this square. Great move!

By: xsimnic0x. on 21 Dec 09, 02:16:45

By: ChrisTheGreenMage. on 31 Mar 09, 21:15:33
I have a move idea. At 5:26, I believe that taking with the bishop would be more effective. It establishes 2 things. It keeps the knight pinned down and if black follows up with taking with his bishop, the knight could come in with the fork between the two. Good video, I have a match against a grandmaster tomorrow and I'm trying to gather opening knowledge.? Wish me luck

By: Dhessu. on 18 Mar 09, 00:03:48
You probably know more than me about chess openings, but I have a question. Why didn't black do h6, immediately kicking out the bishop. And I have another question. Is e4 a good move? Because my teacher said that you shouldn't move your pawn in such a way it blocks the indirect attack of the fianchetto. It kind of defeats the point of the fianchetto . . . but that's just my opinion. I was just curious why you chose to do that and why black didn't just do h6. Thank you though! Very helpful? video.

By: thepunictrader. on 26 Apr 10, 15:05:25
I feel like your pawn to f6 around move 20 to open the kingside up was a big postional mistake. 1stly it gives white a backward D6 pawn to aim at. I think that Rfb8 would have been best giving your Knight the f8 square which is very good for? defense. Another try might have been pawn to a4 but the threat of a3 would probably have been meet by whites moving a3 himself which would reslut in each side exchanging on a3. He would hit your Queen with a discovered attack but your bishop would hit a3

It is not something you want to do, but there weren't really any good alternertives (well i didn't saw them). The losing move is f6 i think, opening the e- file for him. A better plan was to play R(a)b8 and attack the queen side.

By: tweakmeup. on 29 Dec 09, 13:14:26
It has been said in chess that, "One does not loose by committing 1st mistake, but committing the second one will cause you the whole game." You might have been so frustrated after making move #10. 1)Loosing central control on d4. 2)Loosing tempo by defending an irrelevant pawn (pawn exchange was better). 3)Trading the remaining black defender of central squares (e5 & d4). 4)Maintaining composure after making a bad move.? These are the areas that you might want to improve.

The bishop can't be taken by the king, cause its protected by your queen. if your oponent tries to take? your pawn, checking the king, u just win the bishop using the rook, and the position will be better for black! take care

At 7:04 , why did you capture the bishop? This led to you losing a rook in the sequence that follows : White Re7, Black Re7, White Qe7You just out? and out lose a rook, don't you?

You have to look deep within yourself and use all your knowledge and experince too really win.. Cause Ultimately it's just you by yourself on that board..

By: medra1980. on 05 Jun 08, 06:27:18
sorry but i think bishop offering the trade was kind of weak to start, since you could have seen f4 coming; maybe f6 first, and if he trades you? get tyourself a stronger bishop, actually i was being sarcastic since the king is not exposed to anything and f4 is a winning move allowing the queen to come to ur king side on the LONG term, greetings

By: jrobichess. on 05 Jun 08, 06:12:52
He opened dark square diagonal access to his king by moving the pawn at the time. Nothing immediate in terms of danger? in the position, but something I factored into my planning during the match.

On the possible outcome in the ending he looked like he could destroy you. The Bishop was stuck and he could go Bc3 to gain something or the other.

Instead of g5 , Kg5 would be better, after the rook trade you play Kf5 grabbing the opposition. But i think by now you know that jrobi, cause i seen other video's of you and you? have improved alot.

By: serrie85. on 05 Jan 10, 01:19:42

By: tweakmeup. on 29 Dec 09, 07:19:29
King Walk means a draw? game if you are playing against a strong player. After pawn to f7+, you could have promoted it to a queen and secure an easier win. 1. f7+, Kf8; 2. Kf5, Rd5+ Here better is 3. Ke6 he now has no checks. Your next move will be 4. Rh8+ to secure a queen promotion for a winning game.

By: jrobichess. on 23 Apr 08, 02:40:39
Hi vid - basically how it works is from white's side on the lower left square it is "A" and working your way to the right it goes "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H" for those horizontal 8? "files" and then upwards from the lower left square (same one) it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Vertical paths are known as Files, horizontal are ranks. It's basically a coordinate system.

jrobi, at 4:00 when you suggested a better move for your opponent you were a little off.

By: DouskX. on 10 May 08, 06:35:51
3) Too many knight moves in the opening. It defies two basic opening principles: a) unnecessary minor piece move which thwarts development, b) delays castle. I suggest finishing your development first. The e5 pawn can be -nay, should be- defended by Nc6 (or Bd6 if position permits. Try to get as many pieces out as quickly as possible without hanging any pawns (and pieces, of course). Remember, pawns can't go backwards. Every unnecessary pawn? move creates a weakness. So think twice b4 pawn moves.

1) Your fascination ...
By: DouskX. on 10 May 08, 06:30:46
1) Your fascination with the f pawn. f pawn is the weakest for both white and black? since it's the only pawn protected by only the king. Moving it up for no good reason will end up in serious weaknesses and will easily be exploited by any decent player. 2) Rook endings, specially when opposition king is short of breath, don't try to post both rooks on same rank. It accomplishes nothing. Stifle the king by occupying two consecutive ranks so it moves only in direction you want it to, i.e. back.

Continued... Looking back on it, I am positive he would see its because the white queen was currently under attack and because of the placement of the black queen and rooks, had zero possible moves? for his queen where it wouldn't be killed. Thus, his best option is to offer the queen trade. Actually, his best option of all is to stop wasting his time and resign.

By: stonerftw94. on 20 Jan 09, 17:40:36
Just wondering, why didn't John take your Knight on d5 with his Bishop at 1:58 ? The only defender of your Knight is your Queen, but the Bishop is protected by the Knight (so if you take with the Queen you lose the Queen). Not only does this give John a free Knight, he is also attaking the Rook, and can capture it next turn regardless of what you do (I think). This seems like a brilliant move? - he wins a Knight and Rook for free. Have I missed anything?

By: LOGIS10. on 01 Aug 07, 18:13:23
Actually c6 isn't such a bad move in this position. It defends the d5 pawn and the b-knight can still go to a6 or d7. The knights dont have to be developped al the time? to c6 or f6. Oke, it are the best squaresto develop them to but if the charcastics of the game says otherwise you can develop those knights to other squares.

I may be showing my ignorance here but at 6:45wouldn't? it have been better for black to advance the pawn to h7 instead of taking your pawn at f7? Then it would lock things up and take longer for you to get your rook around to open up that space for promotion. I don't really see the benefit in black trading down that pawn when all you need is 1 anyways. P.S: Sorry for commenting on an old video. Am working my way through your videos and enjoying them :)

It can really hurt having the queen kicked around a lot in a match. While you are forcing your opponent to constantly defend and save his queen, good attacks can be set up.

Why would white castle to the? side black controls? Both of blacks bishops are attacking queen side along with a knight, a queen, and a rook. He should have castled king side.

Why didn't you? play 3.Nc6 and 3.d5 instead? Because after that, he could have just played 5.Qxd5, with a good position. Playing 3.Nc6 and Nf6 would of given you better opening and would have given you better control of the center i think..

By: Trollercopter. on 11 Feb 11, 17:52:03
1:28 Qf6 is met with Qxd5+ followed by Qxc5 and game effectively over for black. You should have moved King to e6. Then white will go Nc3 and black follows with Ncb4 threatening a fork. White protects, usually Qe4, but the pawns is down so maybe Bb3. Black moves c3, white a3 attacking the knight. White Qa5 ready to take Rook. Usually the Black bishop wouldn't be there tho as it's better at e7. It gets complicated. A difficult pattern for? me to learn since there are so many potential branches.

By: Chaxar. on 08 Jan 10, 07:22:54
I think you deviated from the proper development and should advance P-c4 at 2:07. If Pxc4 then Kxc4 breaking blacks center and developing the previously pinned knight. In Blitz #11 - Introducing the Pincer Attack 16:42 jrobi talks about advancing the c or f pawn after the formation is set. These two pawns are protected by the centered knights? and fienceto (sorry about spelling).

By: 16940701. on 21 Dec 09, 19:56:52
Sorry mate nothing i have? seen here convinces me of the merits to this opening. Nobody at our league level can play like Fritz/Rybka (thank goodness) but it's still a very quiet uninspiring opening that gives black equality (and maybe better) almost immediately. I suppose however that this may not mean a lot at our level. Why not try the Reti if you like the double fianchetto?

As you? get better your thinkingproces will start to change but for a beginner the above questions are the best to ask move after move.

The concept is the same, removing all the boring "bla bla bla" of PAFU, he mades a huge analysis about the initial moves, and focused on the structure achieved(similar to "hippo"), very similar to what Jirobi did. I just know about PAFU cause of my? curiosity, not cause his "opening theory". By the way...this is not a good opening, really. It is too passive and the real chess player is not shaped "written in stone" in only one set up.

This opening was not Jrobi that? invented it. This opening was invented/created by PAFU, and it is called The Begginers Game. See the site -> beginnersgame com

Thanks for comment! I will post my latest mainline very soon. Stay tuned! Tactical middle game battles are for amateur club level players who? are trying to go 1600+. I agree with these observations Best Myleanne

By: Myleanne14. on 05 Jan 10, 18:18:41
Thanks for comment! I think that this opening as it is untested produces quite tactical battles in the middle game, it is difficult to exchjange off pieces early i am going to post two new videos. 1. Blitz loss 2. Blitz win Both videos will use the nimzovich larsen opening b3 attacking e5 witht thw fiacetto bishop follwoed by e3 d3 and a queen side castle to act against the hatchet attack. Granted is is difficult to with? as blacj does not get much from the opening.

By: Catsfaith. on 05 Jan 10, 00:13:14
rab631 I have to agree with you here regarding its not for most beginners, Opening is provided from jrobichess - Introducing the Pincer Attack, and assumes you have a decent to good tactical ability. jrobichess suggests you run more standard Openings? untill you are ready for the tactical plays that show up in this Opening.

For myself I prefer the 6)b1-d2 followed by a2-a3 test, if Black d4xd2 then continue the opening with c1xd2 and continue? with King side development.

By: Catsfaith. on 22 Dec 09, 01:33:51
It would be easier to note the potential of an opening if the two sides were more equal in skill. That aside,? Blacks 4) c8-g4 should have been g8-f6, then c8-g4. In Jrobi's stance the 6)c1-d2 could be replaced by b1-d2? Not real sure about that sorry.

U don't have to ...
By: 16940701. on 21 Dec 09, 21:58:15
U don't have to immediately conquer the centre but at some stage you MUST make a challenge in that area. My chess is moving on rapidly because of the Silman stuff? and i guess playing stronger guys in my club. A few of us are heading to the ulster junior rapidplay just after boxing day. maybe i will see ub tnere. Keep plugging away and good luck. We will meet over the board some time in the near future i hope. All the best and Happy Christmas!!

Brian, how is going... I thought it might be you.. We have not played in a while. Have to get a game soon..No its ok, i like people to comment on? my video, good or bad, thats why i post, just a discussion forum with visuals. I am glad u have started this bandwagon! I dont get to play enough competitive chess, Well not as much as i would like. By passive, you mean it makes no attempt to conquer the "centre" and knights get pinned initialy. I will take a look at my audio. Thanks 4 comments!

By: 16940701. on 21 Dec 09, 19:38:00
Hi Peter, yes it's Bryan here. Looks like i've started a small bandwagon.....sorry. All i meant was that i feel this opening is unsuitabe for beginners who may be tempted into playing at league level. In our league most half decent players would chew this out for fun. Although there are a lot of lazy chess players in our league who play the same thing year in and out. The opening is way to passive. No amount of analysis will help. Ps. The audio has gotten very low of late. Thanks m8 once? again

By: Myleanne14. on 21 Dec 09, 17:55:11
Ur mis understanding the nature of the vid. In the opening 1 must critcally analyze the position and determine a mainline. The words "analyze" and "mainline" get used 2 regularly by players who sometimes r not fully? aware what they mean. I think jrobi is trying to suggest, a new opening that can help the fledgeling chess star discover how mainlines can be created, and how openings should be analyzed. He does not suggest playing it at club level? Can you suggest why the opening is pants!

By: rab631. on 21 Dec 09, 13:47:39
Are you Mad do not play this opening at club level you will get crushed no? disrespect mate but I think this opening is pants and Jrobichess is silly for even suggesting it no disrespect ment mate

Hi there. Nice video! Just a comment about the variation where you start with Black playing Rh1 and ends? up losing. I read somewhere that the simple rule is that this should be done only after White tries to push his pawn, i.e. activate your rook as soon as White advances the pawn, and the White King cannot escape the checks

cont'd: because? after the rooks are traded off, White can force the win with Kf8, guarding the promotion square and eventually winning the game. But to say White was threatening checkmate at this position was inaccurate.

How is it still ...
By: sidgar1. on 13 Aug 11, 01:40:16
How is it still threatening checkmate? If Ra8+, black replies with Rd8, blocking the check. If anything, this move threatens to eventually queen the pawn, not? create checkmate with the rook.

Hey everyone. Here's my second video, a live blitz game played on chess.com. I filmed the 5 minute game as it happened, and some pretty interesting things happened...did I win/or lose? let's just say there was a checkmate. Again any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
