  2. Queen gambit is super tricky than I thought. Thank you sir

  3. Qxf7 and bishop takes and checkmate with Bxn7

  4. Nxe4 Nxe4 Bxd7

  5. Nxe4 and g4 are both winning but I don't see a forced checkmate

  6. For the puzzle today:

    1. Nxd7 Nxd7 2. Qd5 doesn't work because of 2. Bg4 3. h3 Be6 and there is no win,

    Alternatively:

    1. Nxe4/Nd5 and black has no moves that prevent Nxf6 removing the defender of d7 square so either Bxd7 and Nxd7 is very winning on the next move (Note 1. Bg4 in response to 1. Nxe4/Nd5 fails to Nxf6, knight of d7 is pinned so black loses the bishop on g4 on the next move)

  7. In the marshal line after e4 nf6, I like to play Bd3 offering the pawn so I can take the black queen.

  8. Great Video, a video for the London system opening and ideas would be great.

  9. Look at the subtitles at 3:42 πŸ’€
