An analysis of the chess game: David Baillie – Mike Closs. Here we discuss relatively deep positional ideas, within the framework of 1.c4 c5 unbalanced structures.

In this video I explore a gambit line for Black in the Four Knight’s English: 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3 Nd4!? I found this idea in the book Starting Out: The English, by Neil McDonald. He spends one sentence dismissing White’s acceptance of the gambit with 5.Nxe5. Being curious, I launch an exploration into this line… Black gets good attacking chances in all lines, but it’s by no means a forced win. Especially after the best defense 8.Kf2, Black has some work to do. I ran short of time so this video doesn’t really have a conclusion. Basically, White can survive, but Black has enough long-term compensation for his pawn.

Some folks wanted to see more, so here’s a bit to whet your appetites. I am currently working on creating English subtitles for the Chess Pa Svenska DVD. This is just a rough test to give an idea of what the finished product will be like. The word choice, formating, etc, are all subject to change and revision. If you care to help with the translation, especially of the spoken dialog, please post here, or email me at chesstranslation@gmail.com Note on translation of the lyrics: Whenever possible, I will be using Tim Rice’s original lyrics unless they are explicitly incongruous with the action on stage or the intent of the Swedish version. As many of the songs are as direct a translation of Rice words as are possible when translating lyrics from Swedish to English, I think it makes more sense to use the original English lyrics rather than lyrics that have been translated from English into Swedish and then back to English. If there is enough interest, I will also create a second subtitle track with a more literal translation of the Swedish lyrics.

Explores the Sicilian Defence, Najdorf variation with the English Attack line from white (BE3 on move 6). The ECO code for the Sicilian Defence Najdorf is B90. The Sicilian is one of black’s strongest defensive lines to the King’s Pawn opening from white.
