Recently, the 7. Qb3 line has gained popularity in the 4. Qxd4 variation of the Accelerated Dragon. Normally, white goes for 7. Qe4, but Qb3 is actually a tricky move. Instead of Nb6 as against Qe4, here the correct response for black is to go Nc7-e6. In this video, GM Perelshteyn explains how to face both 8. Bc4 and 8. Bf4.
The sound quality on the video is very low, and I am finding it difficult to listen to due to being hearing impaired. I have set the volume to 100% and I can just about hear the commentary.
Is there a way to increase the volume further?
Great video!!!
shouldn’t it be 3.d4 cxd4 and then 4.Qxd4 (rather than 3.Qxd4 as per title)?
Fixed!
