Thanks it helps a lot improve my chess techniques

“As long as there’s a hole, there’s a goal.” And here I thought I was just here to learn about chess 😂

43:49 "open up your eyes, you bozo" is what I was yelling at the screen.

Dude you are may favorite commentator, "that feels like a sad move - your friends have a lot of fun with the party but, a you need to call the cops on them"...! Thats a big one right there

You're literally my favourite chess youtuber. Your content is so informative, but its also so easy to watch and entertaining. Thank you, Alex.

As opposed to him being your figurative favorite huh? Literally does not equate to "really," so stop teaching Vlad the impaler bad English.

So you don't understand irony either. Why didn't you list the plethora of mistakes then? Maybe English isn't your first language and if so, I apologize for the comment.@@ireallydontlikethecold7887

You know what I’ve been playing the kings Indian and thank you so much for explaining the A5 move is to create a strong outpost for your knight on the queen side I’ve never understood before but it makes complete sense can’t wait to start using this in these positions.

Alex, the Chess spoke for itself and you also. You have an amazing manner of presentation. You are the total package and I will enjoy watching your channel grow while learning from you at the same time.

I can always get a decent setup and sometimes advantage out of the opening, but the middle game plans tend to be tricky and I run out of ideas sometimes. I needed this video

Alex, it would be super awesome if you did a series and speed run with only KID and KIA! Thanks for this great video 🙏

Thanks man. I started with London switched to jobava loved it. Was doing kings Indian for all black learned a couple opening moves of caro for king pawn. Absolutely love the caro. Now this video further help me. Can't thank you enough. 👍

Guys I’m just marking the register, just wanna make sure that we’re all here

So much to learn on this channel. Improved my understanding of openings by a lot, thanks.

Thank you for this! You re the best at explaining openings! Please do even more kings Indian since its such a complex opening with so many lines!

After coming back to chess recently, I’ve never improved more. Thank you for your videos Alex!

Thanks a lot for the Kings indian series. I have just started playing the KID and your videos are always very helpful.

Man, I love your videos. It feels like you're reading my mind as I'm never able to finish my "Yeah, but what about..." sentence without you explaining it.

Excellent pep talk! Thank you.

Excellent work on this, thank you! You’re a great teacher!

Looks like the start of an awesome series and potential new chessable course!!!!

Excellent job Alex! Keep up the great work!😄

Love your videos man! I myself started to play King's Indian without knowing much about what to do after e5😂, so you helped a lot, thanks! And also I really like how you explain all ideas during the game, your humor makes me remember all moves much quicker haha

I really like your teaching style! This will truly help me improve my King’s Indian! Thank you!

Alex!! You're a fantastic chess instructor!! It's always a lot of fun to watch you play and listen to your commentary!!😇

Thanks for some last minute video to destroy my club with

Great video--very instructive games! Thank you!

Fantastic! Love yer humor! Great instruction, you rock!

I love you bro!!! Thank you so much!!!! I realty needed this. I'm learning the KID and pirc and that's all I play. I appreciate you

This is so wholesome, thanks a lot

Awesome video. I was just wishing for this exact content

Thank you for the great content Alex!

Interesting video. Thank you. Kings Indian is the only opening I have been practicing playing for a while.. Thank you!

The perfect theory opening by your opponent in game 3 was likey with the use of an opening cheat sheet that gives best move options.

Dang man, I love your commentary! Lol, low key funny and no silly clickbait pix! Oh, and I found you when I looked for the Jobava, and now I am just watching whatever you put out, it just happens to be the King's India! This is very refreshing after wathing the "other" mainstream Chess content creators.

i love your play & explain videos so much, it really helps to know the reasoning for the steps for a beginner such as myself 💗

I don't know how you managed to make the King's Indian of all things easily digestible and understandable, but you did it. Another excellent video. Is it possible to try to play games with increment in the future? You are clearly able to outspeed lower rated players in a time scramble but since so a lot of your time is spent explaining the ideas to us you end up with much less time than expected and no increment leads to a lot of unnecessary losses.

Can’t wait to see your future Chessable course on this 😅

This is awesome. Thanks so much!

I found the last game the most instructive. Everyone I play brings the dark squared bishop out like this. Its rare I see any other lines at 1200ish rapid level. However, all these games were extremely instructive.

from having okay ish games with Kings Indian everything just makes sense now.. great video

Hi Alex - my favourite chess KZreadr. Your content is informative, easy to watch, and entertaining.

You’re the man Alex!!

Thank you! Great video 🎉

Great lesson Al 👍

Great I’ve been learning this opening recently 🎉

others entertain or go so deep i fall asleep , you are the perfect mix of both , i absorb more from your games , bravo

Great games Alex. was looking for an London opening vs King's indian

Excellent job Master! You was reading my mind because i was close to ask you about a good defense against d4, and you did it. xD Thanks

I needed this video

I enjoyed it so much!! moltes mercès!!

this videos amazing thank you, been trying to learn the kings indian better i didnt realize i wasent playing it at all how its supposed to be played

Nice videos so far. Thinking about subscribing yet. Unspotted free queen was remarkably great )

Good stuff! After being out of the game for 30 years I'm struggling with finding an opening I like against d4. This definately could be it!

Thanks for the upload 💪🏼

Hi Alex, i really like your content and The Way you Teach, i really like The Kings indian since it was my first serious opening with Black, hope to see more of your chess content! 😊

Cool 1hr video with good games that give insight to my fav and first opening i learned. Helped me understand it more and play better. Now requesting video playing against kings indian defense, and playing kings indian attack as white. Subscribed❤

" and these are the games that you are struggling to beat " , proceeds to lose the next game

greatly waited-for video. I really hope you make a few vids on the kings indian, same as you did with the Caro. Most instructive, thanks

I had already seen that one before! I thank you for both, man. Great content

Are you going to make a course on this? This would be game changing! Please do it :D

Game 3 was really great, even if not won. Very very instructive!

Really enjoyed and probably make this my opening of choice against d4

really thank you, some time ago i asked you about teaching us what to do when white doesnt open with e5 and here you go, i don't know if it's just a coincence or you actually saw my comment but thank you very much 🙏

Alex , if possible try making a video tutorial on grunfeld someday if u haven't made one yet

Finally my favorite chess content creator with my favorite opening with black. Thank you so much Alex for this..❤

My favorite black opening, glad you are covering it!

Game 3 😂. I love this video

Missed u as always. ✌️

Omg this forst game was brutal. Hooked!

I'm going to start trying this one for sure

It makes me smile when the bishop is happy.

I think everyone who played Indian Just wanted to be Bobby😂

Do you have a video tailored to pawn breaks in general? I can usually work out if it is immediately bad or not, but struggle with the long term play of these moves as they can quite drastically change the position.

Niceeee Love it :P !

Will there be a chessable course sometimes in the future for a black "non-1.e4" opening? Already am playing your london as white, and your caro kann as black again 1.e4, and would love to have also an Alex Banzea opening for 1.d4 :D For people on the fence I can recommend everything on chessable Alex has put out. Best courses on chessabe imho.

Wow you’ve jazzed up your delivery! (I haven’t heard you in a while, so it may not be new.) whos is ur inspiration?

LETS GOOOOO I LOVE THE KINGS INDIAN THANK YOU ALEX :DDDD

no bromo

In the last game why did you move your king to g8 rather than h8? Since you had the dark square bishop and he didn't, h8 seems safer to me (no tactics later on) is it just more principled to centralize the king in the case of an endgame? Or is there more going on?

Alex is the best trainer

" and these are the games that you are struggling to beat "😂 , he made it look easy , (yep, that's the kind of games that I am struggling to beat)

43:45 That'll be a free queen..to go with my lemonade, bro..

Twin knight break is why would call the two knights

bro thank you

Hi Alex, thank you so much for your content! Are there any plans for a Chessable King's indian defense course??

Yes please, I would buy the KID course as well!! ❤ Chessable doesn’t have many of them especially simplified like your great Caro course 🙏

We also request more queens gambit and scotch videos

I have to say in game 3 the super-consistent opening moves, all around the 15-second mark, stank of using an external reference to me.

Thanks for the interesting video Alex. It seems to me, though, that, as these are instructional videos, and you have to spend a lot of time explaining the ideas, wouldn't it be better to play with an increment? At least it would reduce the possibility of losing on time, as you did in this video.

Thanks for a really informative look at the King's Indian. Instead of running out of time due to lengthy commentaries is it possible to add the audio track after the game has been played ? And maybe even stop the video to accommodate extra chat... Then we would get a true idea of thinking time plus explanation. What ever, thanks Alex.

That first game was beautiful. Poor guy didn’t even play badly and got mated in the middle of the board (Making comment after only seeing the first game for the record)

Funnily enough the guy you suspected of cheating got his account banned for fair play

This is interesting. I always thought if center locked attack king side and if open I just lose lol

The need to learn the KID for me came from the fact that my opponent as white can play 1: Nf3 and completely throw me off my Caro and Benoni defense set up.

Can we have more of these

i've played it a bit against android chess. but have been playing semislav against d4 usually (in online games). (mainly because I like Caro and it's a bit similar). But actually I might start playing this. Kings Indian does seem a lot more interesting.

15:50 "these are the kinda games that you're struggling to beat?" LOL

Thx from Egypt ❤❤❤

coach in your next video can u play the pirc defense? same position to the king's Indian defense thanks coach

go go go

dude I love your vids. I wish you were my coach for real

This rating range is perfect (for me at least haha) watching you crush 1200s in 5 moves is fun but not as instructive for me at 1600, thank you!!

15:35 Opponent could have castled long, because after taking twice on e5 he could have won your bishop back with rook check

44 best part of the video! I thought that knight was a goner!
