  4. I personally like knight G4, adds pressure on the knight on F6 by two more pieces, winning the trade off by a pawn

  5. I'm a big fan of the evil laughter 👍

  7. How can i have a chess book?

  9. D6 opening the lines

  10. Thank you, Grandmaster. I will crush my ex boyfriend with this new tricks as soon I can find him in his new girlfriend house.

  11. Thank you so much,sir.

  12. 3:44 is beautiful
    i stoped to comment now i will
    Continue to watch hehe.

  13. I would play Ng4. Now, Nxg4 is not possible as the knight at f6 is pinned.

    So, black can play c6 or h6 or any other move now. But then white will play Nxf6+ and gxf6 Bxf6 forks the queen and the rook!

  14. Can you tell me where to buy your books since i cant afford the courses

  15. lmao the evil laugh 😂

  17. U rrrr just amazing sir
