  1. hi dereque, i love your videos. i'm trying to learn chess and they are super helpful! i'm just curious… at about 8:00 you have black playing F3 challenging the white B. it seems like white comes out ahead at least in terms of material. if white manages to castle is blacks position that much better than whites without the extra bishop?

  2. why can the king and castle move like that? the rules say castle can't jump pieces?  and the king moves 2 spots as a 1 spot mover I'm not sure why.

  3. Why is d4 more sensitive than e4?

  4. Dereque, you have a great way of explaining the ideas behind the openings in a very simple and concise way. I always watch a few of your opening videos before tournaments. I hate studying openings, and I rarely memorize variations. However, your videos provide me with a good foundation for me to navigate these openings over the board and are a very efficient means of study! Please keep making them!

  5. Dereque! do you think that kings indian defense is the best response to d4?

  6. dereque I was wondering if you would recommend this opening to a player who is about 1450-1550 and is quite attacking and doesn't really like cramped positions.I would really appreciate your feedback thanks :)!

  7. And although it seems quite defensive I was interested in the opening because it has really nice counterplay

  9. Love your vids Dereque. Keep up the good work!

  10. Excellent opening, Thanks for sharing

  12. Nice video.
    the picture at the beginning is really hilarious though :p

  13. How is it that black wins a piece back? He's still down a piece….??

  14. How would one prevent/respond to a white putting a knight on G5?

  15. Wonderful presentation! Question though, at 9:33 you show black Kn takes pawn E4. What prevents white Kn C3 to E4 and capture black Kn?

  16. Bishop to b5 to atack the queen

  18. More Indian, please!!!!!!

  19. Is there a mistake in the analysis at 7:47? After White takes back with the knight and Bf5, White can play Nd2 instead of Bd3 and the pawn fork would not happen.

  22. King Indian defense weak against four pawn openings because all white has to do is castle queenside instead of kingside, and this variation shown in video doesn’t always work with these specific moves …

  23. Thanks for the great videos. I love watching them.

  25. Can you explain why he Eat the pawn in d5. Because i think that is a free. IM beginner IM Just aking thnk you

  26. But nobody responds this way online and every thing is fucked up

  29. on 7:59 I can't see the black's advantage. It's down a bishop vs. a pawn. Also, in 9:33 black's knight takes on e4, but it's taken by the white's one, hence, he's down a knight. I don't get the point…

  30. I'm still trying to understand this system, how do you respond as black if instead of 4 pawn setup by white, white instead has 2 bishops on c5 and f4 squares?
