I approve of the use of the Leningrad. 🙂
it's interesting to see you experimenting with you openings…. i feel like i am building new brain cells just watching you try new lines. thanks again for the video!
Just FYI, the video says it's the 1 minute pool
You probably won't hear about this but the video says 1 minute pool.
John its 3-minute pool😀😂
Fixed the title – thanks, guys 🙂
27:47 Easiest is switching up the move order: 34…Qxc1+! 35.Kxc1 a2 -+ with unstoppable promotion!
You could have taken on c1 at 26:00 which talked about before
You are wonderful John. 🙂 I hope you are feeling recharged!
Would love to see more of those long sessions in the 5 minute pool. Just hard for patzers like me to follow this.
Can't u play ng5 in game with trex
By the way, John, I got my first podium in a lichess tournament! Hyperbullet tourney at 2:30 a.m. so accordingly the competition was a bit easier, but I'm still happy 🙂 http://en.lichess.org/tournament/eGpDTbdo
At 33:37 Didn't it make more sense to play 23. Qg5 directly than to play 23. Ng5, because the knight is just in the way of Qh4-g5-h6? Love your videos btw.
+John Bartholomew – I admire your ability to take a loss. (Even if it doesn't happen very often.) As a tennis coach I'm always interested in teaching kids how to deal with victory and defeat. What are your thoughts on the subject?
This guy speaks like a robot
The progress John's channel has made when you had to type John Bartholo in the youtube search bar to John Ba haha
9:55 bishop takes knight on f6. And if you don't take back with bishop for e.g with the pawn or rook Qh5 looks winning , and if you take back with the bishop , Bd5 check is winning !!
thanks a ot for your great job of teaching and entertaining us, John, I'm from Cologne and you are my nummer one on youtube – even some others are very good as well 😉
John, that almost looks like Gibaud-Lazard on your demo board (1 d4 Nf6 2 Nd2 e5 3 dxe5 Ng4 4 h3?? Ne3 0-1) but not quite: there is a pawn on f4 instead of h3. What was the move order? 1 d4 Nf6 2 Nd2 e5 3 dxe5 Ng4 4 f4?? Ne3 I suppose? Is there a deeper message?
I like this new approach to 3 and 5 minute games John. Creative and satisfying. Thanks!

whoa, deft back rank mate at the end against practice007
I understand absolutely nothing about the strategy in these videos but I still love them
19:30 blunder….ouch. Worst feeling.
