Man, I just want to thank you. I was junior bronze medalist in chess, got elo 2085 in age of 13, won vs IM @14... and I have played one terrible tournament at age of 19 with 1 loss and 8 draws after which I quit... I mean i quit for good, I haven't played a single game not even against my friends for next 17 years. Few weeks ago I have started to watch your channel for no apparent reason and started playing again and now I feel my passion is back :)))

Top tier thumbnail 👍

In Eric first game can the opponent not fork the Queen and the bishop with his bishop? Because the knight defends the bishop and it breaks the attack

London Fog is spectacular.

8:06 . What do you guys think about Pawn e4 to e5. Black has to respond, the knight is atacked. If black takes with pawn on e5, and knight e5 takes, you threaten f7 with the queen and knight, and you also attack blacks queen. Didn´t look much more into it, but I liked it because you have ideas of putting the rook on g3, and it´s easy to play as white.
