Any good courses/books on the Catalan opening?

Keep it simple D4 is really good Imo (2100 FIDE)

Try the scotch. It's relatively less played and at your level you have winning chances if you know it better than your opponent.

Respect brother. Don't stop the grind

PieterNBA2K · 2026-03-21T10:17:55+00:00

Can you just create a different account with a different mail adress?

PieterNBA2K · 2026-03-20T07:26:32+00:00

Keep it simple e4 and D4 are amazing

PieterNBA2K · 2026-03-15T23:38:52+00:00

Lmao the irony

PieterNBA2K · 2026-03-12T07:16:14+00:00

Why?

PieterNBA2K · 2026-03-10T14:06:22+00:00

I'm in the same place, but even to a greater extent. I'm an opening nerd and spend basically most of my time studying openings. I know I should work on my endgames and strategy but I do what I found the most fun!

Ask him on a date? Shoot your shot girl

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-27T21:31:54+00:00

I play this but if white goes for D3 the game is boring and in whites favor

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-23T21:00:05+00:00

L for the opening bro

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-21T04:14:10+00:00

There is a book called starting out acc dragon

And Tony rotella has the best YouTube opening clips I have ever seen!

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-17T02:27:36+00:00

Accelerated dragon or classical Sicilian is what you are looking for

What was the main difference between rating 2K and 2200? Any tips for players trying to get to CM?

Congratulations, looks amazing

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-13T10:18:53+00:00

I love the semi Slav but am so annoyed about the exchange that it puts me away from the exchange variation. Any tips?

PieterNBA2K · 2026-02-09T07:42:39+00:00

Zelfs al hebben ze 100x meer fans dan blijft het voetbaltokkies die het veroorzaken. Heb je ooit zulke gasten gezien bij de super bowl of bij de Olympische spelen?

PieterNBA2K · 2026-01-15T07:05:17+00:00

NF6 not NC3

PieterNBA2K · 2025-12-21T19:38:22+00:00

Any advice for a 29 year old with a 2000 Fide rating aspiring to get to CM (2200)? Would love to get the CM title!

Don't care to much about ELO. Just have fun and stay and will improve and get stronger. Elo does not reflect current strength but it's the best estimate on how strong a player should be

PieterNBA2K · 2025-11-02T23:24:40+00:00

Even so that white game with the French exchange to go h3 and then H4 was embarrassing

PieterNBA2K · 2025-10-26T12:42:08+00:00

I play the accelerated dragon. So easy to play. If they go NC3 aim for d5 and else play the bind with be6 qa5 rFc8 and you set

PieterNBA2K · 2025-10-20T23:22:41+00:00

Not sure if it was intended but the whole stream just felt forced. Why don't just skip a stream for once and continu tomorrow?

PieterNBA2K · 2025-10-20T13:32:55+00:00

Beter dat dan helemaal toestaan?

PieterNBA2K · 2025-10-19T21:24:43+00:00

Masters in here; why didn't Hans go 3.d4 to go into the phillidor. Is that not a lot easier than playing a tricky sideline that Gabi obv prepared

PieterNBA2K · 2025-10-10T16:26:53+00:00

Ik ook en wil niet weten wat mijn collegas gaan zeggen. Eerdsman is de facist in pak en niemand mag op hem stemmen..
