Chess Basics #42: The Queen’s gambit declined – Classical lines
Continuing our look at the Queen’s gambit, this video covers the classical defenses starting with 2 … e6, including the Tarrasch and Lasker defenses.
There is a common tactic, a queen trap, that I should have mentioned in this video that arises in the Queen's gambit declined. I give an example of this tactic in Chess Basics #47: http://youtu.be/D9RbbkGQ2jM
Hey what's your elo rating if you don't mind my asking
Jim thank you very much for the outstanding work that you do. There are very few people that can teacher in the manner that you do. You've been a great find for me and others. Your hard work and effort is acknowledged and very much appreciated.
13:50
why not check the king with queen and win the bishop ??
Your a great teacher! I was wondering why no one plays 3. bf4? It seems like a good way to get the bishop out before playing e3…?
in the tarrasch, after the d pawn is exchanged off, isn't Nc6 more accurate??
I feel like Jim has a beard
7:30
Wouldn't the B4 pawn just be taken by the dark squared bishop?
Hi Jim or other watchers. This video 9'55". What if black plays pawn to G6?
wouldnt Qa4+ win a piece?
Really instructive! I would be extremely happy if you covered as many openings as possible!
9:45 what if bishop is threatened twice by h3 and g4
Thank you
Doesn't focus well but I think I can make it through the free video
isnt Carlsbad in Czech Republic?
This is not a gambit as compared to the Smith Mora gambit played against 1. …c5.
what if opponent plays pawn to c6 right after we play pawn to c4
Thanks Jim. You explain lines and ideas down in a very simple and learnable way! Question, in the Carlsbad var.. is it more accurate for white to delay cxd5 by 1 move, playing Bg5 first to get Be7? Otherwise, Bg5 can be met by c6 and black gets his bishop on f5?
thank you for this <3
Hi Jim, in the situation like in 1:03 . Why not bringing the white pawn up to C5, blocking the opponent's dark square bischop and allowing a longer diagonal for white light square pawn?
Thank you so much for these video course. They are fantastic! And thank you for setting them up in order! My daughter and I love them!
I hate the queen's gambit. The computer always wins.
