Loving it again!! Please don’t be embarrassed missing mate, 99% of the viewers are much worse in playing chess than you are. Thnx for leaving that game in there !!
I was stuck below 100 elo on rapid for the longest time. Thanks to your videos i'm now 241. been using the vienna opening and caro cann as my main studies with your videos. thanks for helping me improve. i had one stretch of winning 11 games in a row. never had that happen before!!
Last 3 weeks went from 843 to 1000 ratting. My favorite part about your videos besides you taking time to explain situations is your pace of thinking, reading the board and making a decision. Never rushed which is something I adopted and results are showing 💪
At 21:14, second game, the mating pattern that Banzea is talking about is exactly the same as in the first game! If you want to know more about Mating patterns, and this mating pattern, I recommend the book by Murray Chandler "How to Beat your Dad at Chess". It contains 50 mating patterns that Murray calls " Deadly Checkmates". This one is number 2 in the Book.
Alex I recently found your video, and through you chesable. The way you explain your thought process slowly while letting the clock roll is great. Showing confidence in your method. Currently on your short and sweet E4 course. Good stuff man!
I bought the ambush course, can't wait to study it, please continue this series (especially the vienna) untill 2500 elo haha, please make a long series
Day 1 ,2nd video , improving my Vienna, but mainly what to do in the middle game. Watching these real games while learning is really effective for me since i can indirectly improve my positional understanding and planning
I have to go back to work soon . But I don't want to, I wanna sit around learning chess all day long. Chess is addictive and you are making it more addictive.
4:23 I got that rare move the other day too and played Bc4 like you did and it went ok. But I checked it out and Nd5 looks really juicy too. It is surprisingly difficult to kick the knight from that position. If you they play a primitive c6 they are shooting themselves in the foot, because it takes away a good square for the knight.
Thank god that Eric hosen popularized the Stanford gambit instead of the Vienna Gambit. We get to enjoy its obscurity for now. It has a good balance between soundness and practicality. Not to mention, you can get to play it much more frequently.
nice one, will definitely watch this one. started playing e4 few months back after being a london only player since i started 2 years ago and i often have more fun games than with the london.
Ohhh so good! I use the Vienna but I end up almost always in the same pathways which may not even be the best since I don't know much theory! This video is very much appreciated, I like your calm way of explaining things... thanks _/\_
Totally thought i was subbed and just realized i wasnt… got a lot of catching up to do! Love your videos and looking forward to watching this series!!!
love the video man, thanks for these! I watch alot of your rating climbs (london and caro kann ones are amazing) do you have any specific videos of playing the caro kann against the accelerated panov? It wrecks me everytime
"knight gonna go probably like b8 which is kind of sad if you think about it....but i lost my childhood to playing this game so. not sure which is more sad." DAM BRO
Hi alex, I recently found your channel and I am amazed by your instructive videos and also your chessable courses, are you planning on making a chessable course about caro kann defense? I really enjoy how you teach chess, keep up 🤍
At 13:34 Qxg6 wins immediately. You should have seen this 😛 Of course, it also wins after Blacks Qh2?? Ooops - at least you noticed. I have seen this immediately 😛Shame on you 😛
i love your content Alex ! I just think you are playing way to much in low elos, the people looking chess videos are not necessary Big beginner and are often stuck between 900-1200, starting 600 makes some games less interesting regardless this time they were not so bad i think the opposit answer are not so representative what we should go against ;) greetings from a 1200 belgium player
Disrespectful approach to all those who have an „actual“ rating of 600….. which type of character plays cats and mice with an inferior opponent with no pieces on the board left and continues laughing about his naughty way of creating a checkmate? A very poor character and definitely no entertainment and value to the community!!😒
gave a dislike Bro. Been loving ur videos, for real they are of real help but in game 3, Yuk! you've been playing chess for like a thousand years of course your good. But play well.
Haha trying to copy Chessbrah is like BBC replacement of Jeremy Clarkson on Top gear totally worthless.. You're not Aman ..... You need to watch Daniel be authentic and not a copy cat
