Description: An introduction to the Ulvestad Variation(5...b5) in the Two Knights' Defense. The Ulvestad presents a very powerful alternative to the typical 5...Na5, especially because the best response 6.Bf1 is almost never seen below expert level.

maquesphakdor ::: Favorites Fritz says d4 to attack the e5 pawn and enable development of black-square bishop (Q's B). However, this permits c6, the fried liver bust (IMHO). 07-11-02 13:29:33 __________________________________________________
sausage4mash ::: Favorites i see bishop f1 online a lot ,but thats when they are cheating looking up opening on a data base ,thats what i reckon alway a pause before the move ,then i go out of book and they play rubbish 07-10-21 12:14:38 __________________________________________________

taipan342 ::: Favorites awsome video man, im definately gonna try this variation I haven't had a great deal of sucess with the standard knight goes to a5 threatening bishop. Thanks and welldone. 07-09-19 17:03:30 __________________________________________________
GreenCastleBlock ::: Favorites No, Funacca is right, Qb3 O-O-O is weak because of Qh3. Something the players in the game I was following missed, and I also missed. Since O-O-O is bad, 9...e4 must be bad. 9...Bd6 seems reasonable - Black will have some compensation even in the queenless ending, but White's a bit better. 07-09-01 00:43:27 __________________________________________________
Tiwaking ::: Favorites Um. Whaa? Qh3 isnt check, the KBP protects the king. Also: Qh3 = NxQ, an absolutely terrible move 07-08-31 19:19:49 __________________________________________________
Funacca ::: Favorites hello first nice video but i analysed it on my own and at 04:37 i think the white queen can go to h3 with check and also protecting the mate on g7 so black has not engough time for a counterattack has he? what you think? 07-08-21 05:33:01 __________________________________________________
MaskedAssailant08 ::: Favorites 2 KNIGHTS DEFENSE (ULVESTAD VERSION) On 5:58 bishop goes to f2 resulting in a queen fork with knight f6. If king goes to d1 then bishop g4 checkmate. If king goes f1.. bishop a6 and pawn exchang will lead to a forced queen fork. Just something ive noticed... nice videos 07-08-11 01:04:48 __________________________________________________
