  1. i repeat my self : Thx a lot Andrey, you are a great teacher!. I will try this line. Greetings from France^^

  2. Will you guys be uploading a Catalan course on the website? I can't seem to find one. This is my favorite of your videos thus far, and I would love an in depth look!!

  3. I would pay for a full catalan course in this video format. Beautiful angle and depiction of the game.

  4. Very informative, many thanks. Nice use of the board.

  5. Where did you get that board ,and pieces?

  6. Wow, this is amazing, very informative. Really makes you understand the main ideas behind the opening, giving a solid overview but not overcomplicating things with too many variations. Exactly what I've been looking for!

  7. I have my second otb tournament tomorrow and I was preparing the Catalan and I was looking for an overview of this opening. This is perfect

  8. Queen on E2 not being centered is making me crazy

  9. clear delivery, good explanations too; well done!

  10. This is a calm and skillful explanation.The production is very good. Editing at the right moments, easy to understand English, good flow of words, not too hasty, not too slow and boring either. Really really well done.

  11. Thank you for the real board !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  12. Very nice video. I love you channel> Thank you!

  13. As usual for this channel, for a club level player it's impossible to really learn anything from the videos: the ideas are too sophisticated and the lines messy.

  14. I really like idea to show the game on real chess board not on PC . Thanks for this .

  15. I don't think the moves are right after knight Nc6
