  1. The koerel kann opening.

  2. Omg who is that guy constantly having breathing problems around minute 47-48. He's still struggling like 3-4 minutes later lol. Doing my head in.

  3. I love attacks where the opponent can‘t trade Queens. Simply crushing. Get checkmated if you don‘t, get squeezed if you do.

  4. At 10.24 mark if bishop goes D6, that changes the whole plan/game actually. Can someone help/provide solutions for this variation? Fo we continue pushing the same line as before? I clearly think not…

  5. 8:45 No, Black didn't get an extra move compared to the Bd2 line. Bf4 Qa5+ Bd2 Qc7 transposes exactly to Bd2 Qc7 (it's White's move in both cases).

  6. I guess I play like a computer. When I’m losing I just give away all my pieces!
