Sep 14, 2008 - instead of the gambit of the a pawn on a3, wouldn't Nc6 forking the queen and dark squared bishop been better for white?
kingscrusher Says:
Sep 14, 2008 - Qd6 seems adequate to protect the bishop on b4

Sep 14, 2008 - white simply had not expected black to hold on this pawn so much

Sep 14, 2008 - what a horrible situation for white, i was thinking nightmare too most of the way through. great refutation of the kings indian attack transposed to the english. thanks
nemrod21 Says:
Sep 14, 2008 - My guess is that white lost this game before they even started. But everyone would be nervous when playing a top GM!
xtreme1002003 Says:
Sep 14, 2008 - It still would probably have been better. White's definitely worse either way, but at least he wouldn't have been in as bad of a position.

Sep 14, 2008 - good vid. just a humble request, could you analyse the bilbao tournament games where topalov won and anand could not even win a game. keep on!!!
darkteknical Says:
Sep 15, 2008 - This is one of my favorite videos so far. I'm new to chess and I really liked the begining where you explained the Queen's Gambit alittle.Thanks.
kingscrusher Says:
Sep 15, 2008 - Yes that was a very strong tournament indeed - I have done one of the games today - Topalov vs Anand (1-0).
kingscrusher Says:
Sep 15, 2008 - Thanks - I did want to cover some basic opening theory which is almost taken for granted, but perhaps should be mentioned in youtube videos for those newer to the game.
