I have been playing this without knowing it’s the Ruy Lopez. After I found out, I thought why not learn how to actually play it. So I watched some guides and didn’t understand anything besides memorizing a couple moves. For those who haven’t watched other guides: This guide is so easy, it’s insane.

I like how you give pieces "missions", it makes openings much MUCH more simple and helped me to learn the Caro Kann. Thanks for putting out videos like this: keep it up!

in my opinion, your style of explaining openings and such is outstanding. the topic is explained thoroughly and well, the visuals and scenarios you give make it so much easier to understand, and to be honest the overall way it's taught makes it a cakewalk for anyone (even people who literally started like 3 days ago (and i know this because this person is literally me)) to learn it with little to no difficulty. and this goes for practically all of your videos which is why i like all of them, much love. keep it up. :)

@sirnato5218 10 ай бұрын

To add to the praise of all the others, thank you so much. Actually explaining the “missions” of the pieces is something I’ve never seen anyone do, and means that I actually understand how to use the opening, especially in my 700 elo where the other player will often make a mistake and I don’t know how to punish it. Thanks to your previous video, I’m already dominating with black with the Caro-Kann, raising my elo and having a blast. Keep it up mate!

I'm a d4 player so I won't use this opening, but the explanation of openings around pieces having missions is so much easier and more intuitive than "memorise these fifty lines", you teach a lot better than most resources I've seen

I just want to acknowledge that your approach to unpacking these openings is really well done. To draw an analogy, it pains me the way music is often taught in a convoluted "memorize this" way and I'm still looking for the same boiled-down approach in that sphere. Often teachers will tangle you up in overcomplicating things for the sake of giving themselves more work. There are many bs teachers like that in the chess sphere just like in music. Your videos are really popular because they're actually helpful. Thanks.

I can feel the buildup 2.Then the voice even though automated somehow delivers the imapct! The script is amazing! Thank you again

Continue to make videos like this, this is very educational, I got to 1700 rating playing the Ruy Lopez and I know that I would've wanted videos like this when learning my openings. Actually understanding an opening and explained simply at that instead of a long list of variations to memorize just to play like a robot. I'm sure if you keep creating videos in this style that alot of people would benefit from it.

@LexWil7 8 ай бұрын

I have been reading books on different aspect of the game and I must say, as beginner, one of the most difficult parts of the game is to learn basic ideas behind openings. Most guides say just develop or memorize lines, but the truth is that those variations result from responses to the basic idea and as you mentioned there is no point on memorizing moves you can’t understand without getting the concepts behind certain opening. Great video
