We don’t really know if this is the greatest pin of all time, because Alex might allow us to believe it’s the greatest pin of all time without us knowing it’s the greatest pin of all time. Meaning we may think it’s the greatest pin of all time not truly knowing if it is the greatest pin of all time or if Alex actually believes it’s the greatest pin of all time. Thus, Alex can state it’s the greatest pin of all time when we really had no knowledge of it was the greatest pin of all tim

Im really glad this first guy defended the ten move checkmate. My enemies at the local chess club have already been soundly defeated at the hands of that brilliant combo (I picked up chess in July lmao.. but they can’t deal with the Jobava or its venomous variants from a total noob!) and they keep record of all the games, so I look forward to slowing down their attempts at improvement. I’ve shared your channel with a few friends who have all been very impressed, but I’m reluctant to spread the word more, because, you know. I have enemies. And they can never know where my secret sauce comes from. Also Alex I would love a video where you tell the story of how you used the Caro in a must win game for your IM norm that sounds so clutch. We love rooting for you

Let me first say how honored I was to have my comment highlighted by you. But I am now sad that I may have hurt your feelings. Hardly had I written that comment when I saw that Eric Rosen had just posted a "speedrun" video where he was "punishing" 400 ELOs (it was hilarious, though, when he blundered a rook in an end game!). That you send your undying love to all the low rated players you trounce in your speedruns is something I should have taken into consideration. I can't think of any more desirable reward. No, my comment was mainly motivated by something I often hear in speedruns, namely "My opponent is playing very good for his rating." Yes, nine times out of ten, he is probably cheating, but I was just trying to imagine a world where all the IMs masquerading as lower ELOs would be paired without their knowledge and would get frustrated by how well their ooponents were playing. Please continue making your wonderful content. I will be watching!

Not going to lie that I’m saddened that you aren’t going to do that course through chessable. I would like to keep my content in one place.☹️

Some 15 years ago, smurfing was mostly welcomed as a chance to face a pro you'd never have a chance to play otherwise if you were a noob. You also needed to be more hardcore to play online, and it was less accessible. As online gaming becomes more and more mainstream, you'll have a larger percentage of the players being casuals and crybabies. Those people who complain about the smurfs can never be satisfied. They will always find something or someone to blame, as long as it's not them owning up to their shortcomings. Minus the recent changes to mimic Levy, your content has always been the most clearcut educational material out there. Pure information that we can use as a backbone for our chess growth. As such, your content may be overwhelming for absolute beginners and boring to some, but for anyone looking to climb from 1000 to 2000, nobody gives as clean and applicable theory as you do. You've helped me cross the 2k barrier and I'm sure you'll help thousands others.

@@roqsteady5290 It's true there is a Simon Williams course and a Hans Niemann course already on Chessable, but both are written for intermediate to master players, meaning they go deep into master-level lines while brushing over or ignoring the kinds of moves amateur players make. Alex's courses are special because he focuses on the types of moves made at the under-2000 Chess*com elo level (as seen in his London and Caro-Kann courses), which makes them far more useful to players like me.

Back when I was around 1200 I actually have a game which have very similar mate to your second to last game in the video. It was the same Paul Morphy’s mate (but comes out of Von Popial Gambit) and a knight was blocking my rook. I ended up sacing the queen which was currently trapped at a8 on the b8 knight forcing the d7 knight which was blocking my rook to take and gives checkmate after. I usually didn’t remember a game after I finished it but that one sticks. Probably because it’s the first brilliant move I have that’s not accidental.
