  1. Thanks for the video, but too many ads

  2. Ive been so excited hanging found all these videos on your channel. I only knew about the chessbrahs and am a big fan of the 2 knights attack, and these gambit lines. I usually play the Austrian attack against the pirc and really liked your previous video on it. However when i saw pushing e5 leaving d4 hanging i was IN! Thanks a lot. Also i will be emailing you for a few lessons eventually.

  3. Russian gangster's voice <3

  4. Thanks a lot for this one!

  5. i like more Bg4 follwoed by f4 and e5

  6. As the wing Gambit it so much helpful to ill use this line, thanks

  7. Great video, thank you very much ! But I miss the variation 5. … e5 for Black. On club-level you find this move more often than 5. … 0-0, which – in my opion – is a little bit dubios.

  8. Mio bro’, you’ve got the most amazing chess channel out there! Love your stuff!! I really dig your sharp attacking lines.
    You’ve put the joy of chess back in me. Can’t thank you enough, boosted my rating on
    chess.com by 200+ points in last two months. Keep on
    truckin’!!

  9. Who knows Mad Dog 2? Engine-approved! e4 d6 d4 Nf6 Nc3 g6 Bc4 Bg7 Qe2 Nc6 e5 Bg4 and not the obvious f3, but bam! PxN! The other Mad Dog! Never played on Lichess – one time f3 was played…

  10. I got to play the queen sac line for the first time today and had a blast + quick win with it. I like having an alternative to the Austrian Attack available too + something that can catch Modern players who transpose in. Thanks!

  11. Love all of your videos. Looking in to the caro kann as I see it more often at my 1100 rapid level lol

  12. Deserves a bigger audience. Great chess commentator.

  13. hey Mio you shouldn't say that you crushed Olympiacos! we are orthodox brothers!

  14. Great line, thanks! There are too many lines to crush the Pirc. I hope more players play the Pirc against me so I can try this variation.

  15. 28:50 The game wasn't actually played by Bent Larsen but apparently by some other Dane, a 2200-rated named Bo Richter Larsen.

  16. I think I struggle after Bc4 with Nxe4, but other than that, I like this idea.

  17. Maybe I missed it but where is 6.e5 Ng4? Perfectly playable option instead of Nxd4 giving white exactly what he is booked up for. I have looked at these lines and please show me where you think white has a pull. Appreciate and great channel.

  18. This is crazy stuff, I like it

  19. Hmm….. As a pirc player you've given me a bit to consider in my opening preparation. Great work always 👌👌👌.
