I have your London course and I love how you also explain why certain moves are worse. Most opening courses only explain which moves are right and assume you immediately see why the others are inferior. This helps a lot in understanding and therefore also remembering!

i love the little random stories about your life !

10:22 "I'm going to be eating him out...but not like that"...That's a classic line I will never forget and will always associate with Alex.

"Im gonna be eating him out" famous last words Alex

It’s not only a weight issue, I started having back spasms around age 30 from so much sugar in cokes. Every morning at like 4am. Quit drinking soda - went away immediately 100%. Drank again, came back. So I stopped permanently. Also had sleep paralysis sometimes that went away when I stopped. Sugar bad. I still eat some sugar of course but rarely soda and not multiple cans.

Alex, you started the video saying keep your h pawn at home, and then immediately played the h pawn lol

I laughed out loud at the soda analogy. The cut at "in the same way" was just beautiful comedic timing! You're definitely the funniest chess streamer.

I was 187kg a year and a half ago, now I'm 107kg. We make decisions, some good, some not so good. Learning is rarely perfect, if it were; would we develop a scientific mind, I doubt it. Love your show. 😊

'I'm going to be eating him out' Words of wisdom from Alex Banzea

dude that was an epic family guy level breakout of the soda story all to recommend knight e5 lmaoooo

10:22 Maybe not the best choice of words here 😂

I enjoy the analysis after the games i find it pretty interesting to watch you explaining some of the engine suggestions and the lines

Alex: "This move h3 ruins your London plans" also Alex: 23:13 "I think I'll just play h3..." LOL

Another good lesson, as usual. Thanks.

The amount of times I've done that h3 push creating space for the bishop. Great tips

Could make a video on how to read a chess book, i know the chess notations but idk I feel like I'm doing it wrong, not getting most out of the books. It would be nice if you could show how a chess master reads a chess book.

"Not like that tho" 💀🤣🤣 this 10:23 made me laugh out loud

"he probably got a chess tutorial from brazzers with the bishop on g7" hahahahaha

I tried your plan, i got a very good advantage, then i mess up it was equal then i won again because my opponent blundered, it was a long 5 hours game. Thx for the free course buddy

Thanks! I will try the queen manuever

how do you attack with the london?

Hi Alex, i bought your Caro-Kann course on Chessable and it's absolutely amazing ! 🙏 I am learning so much about my favorite opening. You are a great teacher, i really advise the course 👍 Thank you so much and keep going man, you deserve more and more visibility. By the way (i am french), i would love to see a stream and/or games with Kevin Bordi aka the great Blitzstream 😉

Now whenever I get the position where kh5 is coming I will remember not to drink too much soda xD

The blunders of the enemy do also show in the game recap

Right on buddy I cut down on the soda too 😅

Despite buying your London course I still play that h3 pawn move all the time in an attempt to save the black bishop(my retention skills need some work). Instructive video.

Excellent. I was one of those doing h3. No more. Very helpful video.

Thinking of playing the London in a tournament!

If you can, give Alex a few more bucks by buying the video option for his lessons - like the long awaited and just released Caro Kann course. A lot of hours goes into that work and should be rewarded. Alex has given us an opening with white and a defense for e4. Now we need a defense for d4.

Alex, maybe you could do a ratings climb playing rapid games. More than anything, your slow, calm, and methodical approach before making a move helps me get in the right mindset myself, but then you always get into a time crunch at the end of the game after explaining everything to us.

46:17 "(...) Trying is the first step to failure." Tell the kids!

i used to play benoni was getting crushed and this is why

10:19 you miss Qxg7, love your video anyway

Can you greek gift sacrifice in the position at the start of the video( if the opponent moved their knight)

Alex your videos are fantastic… I am going to try harder to play like cat and stop playing h3 at the wrong moments like a “Bozo” 😹😹😹😹

As someone who is not your mom, diet soda is worse than regular soda and regular soda is pretty bad. And regular soda in the US is worse than regular soda in Romania. : ]

Super

Despite the thumbnail, he plays h3 in the 3rd game. Sorry, I couldn’t resist pointing it out even tho you’re playing against Kings Indian type setup.

10:22

Jefe!!!

10:23 Huhh>>>????🧐

Sugar is Poison

This and Eric rosens London is all you need :)

holy shit 2L of crap a day! You are lucky your liver and kidneys survived that

0:18 - don't play H3, it's a mistake; 23:12 WHAT?

Thanks. Illuminating

i gained 100 elo+ from london

second I guess

First i guess

Diet soda (and any other ingestible substance) with artificial sweetener is neurotoxic, and so not good for playing chess.
