Nice thumbnail mate
I lose all respect for my opponent when they play the Sacandinavian
This man is the best teacher I never had
nice intro to icelandic
❤❤❤❤
when you have already checkmated your opponent before the checkmate i'm trying to find out how you made it after when the game is over. so, i have a lot to learn.
another great vid
What if after you move bishop to g4 they move their bishop to b5?
Bro literally greatest chess online preacher and teacher of ALL TIMES of this ERA …THE SAINT OF CHESS….BLESS ALL
Bro read my mind. you just gained a subscriber smirnov
That ICBM variation of the Tennison Gambit is very bad it just ruined my accuracy, stockfish didnt give me a book move instead it gave me a mistake, after e4 d5 Nf3? I would've had had perfect accuracy if it wasnt for that move
I watched the master class and after that I played according to what I learned and it was amazing I won 4 games in a row. And it also felt more fun to play according to your method. Thank you
Isn't that very first opening with the queen capture pawn gothem chesses proven tactic?
Mentor, I’ve have wrote down and remember 3 of 100. I’ll keep gravitating to saved posts.
5:24 MORE HUMAN MOVE?!? dude me see bishop me attack bishop
How is one supposed to remember all the lines of all the variations of each opening? There have to be 10,000 at least
Thanks a lot
Why can’t you play night C2 at 9:05
How to understand openings❎
How to play the portuguese gambit✅
If I'd have the choice between understanding and memorizing I'd go for memorizing. 😉
I am going to hit 2000
Nice gambit. Looks a lot like the Gandalf gambit.
How do you even make money from your courses when you keep uploading gold like this?
Also helps to learn opening principles/traps from Smithy's Opening Fundamentals on Chessable
4:12 What do you suggest if opponent plays Be2 instead of f3? Stockfish suggests to trade, isn't it a mistake?
It would be great if you make a crash course on Nimzo Indian and queens Indian defence
why is it the best move d4 on the beggining of the video and not some minorr piece development? i am superr low elo learrner btw
What if bishop will protect the queen instead of pone?
Just use Anki
I love this way of understanding this opening ! Thank you.
I learned Scandinavian Defense repertoire by our very own handsome FM Deniel Causo 😍
It's probably fair to say that NMs and above have intrinsically superior memory, visualization and calculation skills compared to the vast majority of other players. As Russian chess trainer Mark Dvoretsky pointed out no matter how hard they play or study most will reach a plateau from which they can never advance but only recede. Basically one needs a certain "chess sense" which enables superior play. A handful of humanity has it, most don't. So don't be frustrated if you can't "get it," that's just the way Mother Nature rolled the dice.There are after all other things besides chess…
'It doesn't really work against beginners because they don't make the right moves' haha, true

Thanks buddy 😊
Hahahahaha! "Why do we even play chess"? … because adulting isn't hard enough
I started playing chess a couple of weeks ago I hadn't played in about 25 years. Im really not very good 😂. I can consistently beat Stockfish lv 2 but i get smashed by level 3 every game and im struggling to progress any further. I only play against computer as i dont have the confidence to play actual people online.
Now we need a video of how to remember the four questions
I like most of my chess playing generation (60's) and way before computers – played Correspondence chess – yes – one move each post each game sent by general mail. If this may sound impossibly slow and downright tediously boring – you are wrong – the exact opposite – by playing at least 100 games at the same time and at once – offering next move options the mail-outs were large – first thing impossible to cheat and second the strategic thinking that is employed is almost impossible to replicate on the rapid game of today – but there is this – the third thing – this method of play developed in the player and this happened almost overnight and nearly everyone who got to at least the one hundred games simultaneously got immense enjoyment from – was the astonishing ability to recall every single game in play at any stage from memory – let alone openings and old grand master games. I could recall from just the number of the game that arrived in the mail without opening the scoresheet and set the board up at the exact last move – Unbelievably this incredible feat of memory did not seem to be apparent in me with most of my other everyday things – I couldn't even remember my telephone number – let alone complicated equations that continued to grow each day. However that did change and this ability eventually found its way over into other tasks. This mental training needs to be reintroduced to the populace. A teenager artist in my village I invited to participation in one of my exhibitions astounded both me and my wife with the serious gaps in her learned memory – she is typical of the intelligence levels for an 18 year old here in Italy. We had to tell her what street the exhibition was at and in turn what was her address in our very small village of 4000 people. She knew only the name of any of the town streets not where it was on a mental map and in relation to any of the main streets – she did not have a mental map of the village – what this generation have now for this now defunct memory – is the location on their cell-phones via various apps and this is what is employed exclusively and sent to each other. She was perplexed that we found that astonishing. This and other Hugely useful memorising tasks/methods are not employed anymore because they are not needed. Therefore location and many other problem solving tasks are left to the computer to solve – It will be interesting to see your progress with teenagers..By the way I'm very suspicious of that teenager that seemingly won against Carlson. My very first thought was immediate – a teenager – a computer – it is somewhere in all of this and therefore how exactly was that engine cheating employed against the world champ – not wether it was inherit raw intelligence and memory. By the way after thousands of correspondence games – As white the D4 opening move cannot be beat and the reply as black against E4 – the Sicilian. The human mind with its intuition even in correspondence games cannot be beaten by a computer.
I believe PP on the PP is Alex Banzea’s thing.
