Blk Bishop's "...non-stop cigarette break' make Me laff.

I fully agree! Good stuff

Yes! Everyone should play his variations

seriously. more of this pls

That opening is gangster. I almost always get control of the centre.

Yes this is probably the most common counter I see to the kings gambit the ex line . Technically it's better for white, but it's annoying.

Me too I really wanna learn Dutch defence

@@unforgettable1233nah Dutch is pretty garbage

If he continues with the series of doubios openings maybe he will one day 😂...the stonewall def and attck my first openings though

@@asprosllarcappont9596 stonewall isn’t a dubious opening

Imo its playable, you make big concessions, and if white knows how to play around it its not the best...prefer slav or ortodox...but nothing against the stonewall, was my first black and white opening with the french for e4, as I said before

Just figured out the super thanks increase button, but I missed the comment part, I guess. Been reviewing your posted lesson, good stuff. I loved the part where you said "Hello, there is a [discovered] pin there!" and the point that the counterplay to white's attack was only good for a human computer (if I understood that part of the message correctly). More to follow

Do you have a link

@@TimJapan I just think I missed a step or sent it too early. I'll look more carefully next time. Thanks for asking.

Start looking at what your opponent is doing, under 1400 it's a slugfest where neither playing is looking at what the other is doing until either a blunder or checkmate. You may have to switch to a slower time control to allow yourself to get into the habit of seeing what your opponent is doing, especially start spotting what tactics your opponent has. Also do your tactics and don't play for tricks.

@@douwehuysmans5959 Solid advice! I have been thinking the same. I have to remind myself to think of what plan the opponent might have, or how they might react several moves forward. Especially while it is their turn I have to remind myself to think, but sometimes my mind just wanders off which is what I think my main problem is. I do much much better in longer time controls, only there am I 1200. In lower time controls I revolve around 900 sadly.

@@martinyeriksson Oh and don't play the London or Stonewall, they will prevent you from learning chess

D6 is covered by the black bishop

@@josephsalmonte4995 I was talking bout strategy because this was not a real game most probably

Holy smokes, thanks for the support 🙏

You're welcome. You do a really good job, I think, at getting good sound chess principles across. Like when I'm walking on the beach and get hit in the head with a baseball bat... or was that a coconut... @@AlexBanzea

The point? Pay attention!

Yeah I think I miscalculated that

@@AlexBanzeaIM’s these days, I swear… 😒 ;) haha just busting yer balls BoyO :) Thanks for the lecture

noice

I made a queens gambit video already!

really? did I miss it? sorry for that :). i'll take back my ironic comment than @@AlexBanzea

Queen's gambit? Why make more videos on it. It is probably the most covered opening on the Internet, and definitely not the most fun opening to play. Kings Gambit is ignored by many content creators and is great fun. Thanks for the material, Alex! @@ovidiufechete7612
