  5. Ukraine good. Igor good.

  6. Nice video no one will ever play d4 again after they see this video

  7. learn aggressive opening in 10 minutes
    meanwhile video 17 and a half minutes

  8. I was going to say that this is the Benko gambit, but then you mention it.

  9. Igor thank you for your hard work. You’re my favorite coach. Please make a video on the Benoni

  10. Imma tell you guys. Old Benoni with immediate c5 is better because you don't need to learn trompowsky or anti-londons yet you still have the same traps. You can have pleasant position OR go to the benko gambit OR blumenfeld countergambit
