Using analogies like Alex I can say that playing the London System is like wearing a suit of armor to a pillow fight. You might be overprepared, but at least you won't get caught off guard.

It’s literally easier to become a rocket scientist than to study all the lines from Alex’s London chessable course. I’ve been trying for a year now.

Thank you Alex for your videos. Thanks to you I found my 2 openings for black and white and black. Even I watching seems like same opening every time , but because this is chess with million possibilities, it becomes learning something new . I hope you salient get bored making this videos, thank you for content 🙏

@executivelifehacks6747 Ай бұрын

I have grinded your chessable course, but this was so helpful to understand the "Why" and the plans. Great, great video. I bought your full course btw, including the video. Highly recommended.

@executivelifehacks6747 Ай бұрын

And also... those questions as to whether I do c3/c4, and pull the ds bishop back or accept the trade. I personally don't think Chessable is going anywhere, I encourage you to make more/build on it. There is even no family discounts for it, unfortunately. But it does force families to buy more product for their kids at full price. Do you have a positional course in the works? I really like your division into ELO sections of Silman Endgame... I think the 1400-1600 she's probably be broken into two sections or maybe more. But great concept. If positional chess could be done the same it would be good. I have tried CM Can Kabadayi's course on chess crime and punishment, perhaps something similar would be good but with an ELO divisional approach.

Really love your london system and caro-kann simplified on chessable sir! As a newer player your a hero to me!! Would you ever consider making a course against d4 as black? I'm not sure what to do there currently.

Alex is really good at chess. His analysis are different and interesting. I always learn a lot watching him play.

Thank you for your youtube lessons videos. I have never enjoyed learning an opening before watching your videos. I remember trying to learn chess openings when I was a kid (before youtube existed) and the book I was referring to really confused me and took away my interest in chess. Anyways I'm sure you are a great help to all new chess enthusiasts ! 😊

Hey Alex, I play the Jobava... sometimes I play Bf4 before Nc3 to see if my opp will play Nc6.. Are there times when I should consider transposing to a normal London in the first couple moves? Which ideas appear in both openings?

Got a 7 move checkmate with the fantasy variation from the caro today. Game review gave my opponent a 250 I died laughing never seen someone get that low it gave me 1650 and about 91% accuracy. First time I got it off cause I might have only got the fantasy 2 other times but they defended
