Looking good, Alex! Cant wait for the Jobava course❤

The last two games were just absolutely brutal destruction. What a great video ❤

Visualization aids and explanations are just phenomenal in this video. Good job Alex.

You have improved my chess so much. Thank you!

just picked up your chessable london, including video on black friday sale. glad to contribute to your cause alex. good content, and entertaining too.

I love your delivery. These are fantastic vids.

Love it. Great evaluation, many thanks UK

Fascinating find Mr. Alex

Hey if it’s good for Nepo at the highest levels I reckon it’s good for me! Nice to see you branching out with your content!

Thanks Alex! I'm wondering what your take is on the Falkbeer Counter Gambit, including the newly(?) popular 3...ef, instead of the 3...e4. It seems pretty tough to counter, no pun intended. Another great lesson!

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.

That was pretty cool stuff. Thanks for teaching us.

I'd love see you make a chessable course on the King's Gambit, really.

Dude that procrastinate part cracked me up big time 🤣🤣🤣

By far my favorite opening to attempt to play.

Would love to see you explore the 3. Bishop c4 line. It's a lot of fun and you get a bunch of great positions. The number of people who follow that with the Queen check and then immediately play bishop c5 is pretty hilarious. Just have to play d4 and have fun from there.

Excellent video great explanations

Hi Alex Please do another video on french defense

Definitely one of the most fun openings for white. With black I like to go for the Rousseau gambit if I'm feeling spicy.

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

Every chess player before the 20th century: “Yes”

"procrastinate", you just kill me... got the chuckle out me...

I saw a recent match you played against Gotham, and your manner, the way you represented yourself, and the game of chess showed a lot of class. It was impressive and won me over. I will choose your instruction programs to take me from 1200 to 1800, at which point we can reevaluate progress.

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

Alex in caro kann tartakower variation why some lines the knight goes to a6.please reply

The variations you discussed were played successfully by the 10th World Chess Champion, Boris Spassky. The King's Gambit has many tricky lines worth exploring!

Procrastinate part is pure gold 😂😂😂

thank you Alex i reached 1200+ elo from 330 elo in 2 months

at some point pleaseeeeee do a rating climb with blacks response to d4. maybe QGD?

Alex, am atins 900 în blitz în această dimineață și nu am găsit cuvintele să-ți mulțumesc în engleză pentru că m-ai ajutat să scap din iadul 400 ELO, așa că m-am gândit să-ți spun un strigăt în română. de asemenea, îmi place cum amâni

Love your mafia accent 😂😂😂, thank you I appreciate your channel

I watched this today twice. It’s so incredible that I tried it immediately after practising with Chess computer. I won 2 outright against 1200, drew 1 (after missing two winning moves) and lost 1 (after again missing a diagonal block). The games are “heavy metal” chess! AMAZING! 🥳🎸🤘

Great success!

Beautiful games

Why Always Upload while i do Homework for university😂 damn my ADHS Cant Focus seeing the notifcation for your new video😂 Love you Alex keep it Up ❤

No way!!!!!! Thank you Alex!!

Some of those knight sac g5 lines are so good even stockfish thinks you are winning. In practice is someone goes for g5 i have 90 percent win rate. But sadly its very rare to see someone play it, as your example games show

I am trying to get from 1200 to 1400 but have been stuck for months, videos like this help though! Thanks Alex!

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.

@martinyeriksson

@@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.

The point? Pay attention!

It seems like something that would work against lower level players for sure. There must be a good reason it's not played at higher levels. Like most gambits.

You say folks can't argue with the statistics, but have you heard of Vladimir Kramnik?

What is your cat's name?

procrastination!!! Good Stuff!!

Hi Alex! I love your vids! Can you make a video on calculations in chess, I found out that upto 2000 if your calculation are good idk why openings should matter 😂 unless you play something d2 or something idk

I mean, if you’re talking about being in a completely lost position for white that’s nearly unplayable for black, of course you’re talking about the King‘s gambit…

I hate you for not checking your score after first game :P I wonder how big would it have been :P good game
