Thank you

It's chess my dear friend. But not as I play it. 😢

nice way to attack.

Can you learn how to pronounce it correctly : 'fee-un - ketto'

How can you defend against this when playing the kings indian setup? I lose so many games against this attack

What was the elo of the computer in this game?

Im wondering why white moved the King instead of taking the pawn. NM rook check kills Queen!

I enjoyed today's video. You taught me how to think in that situation, which is priceless.

Nice, Coach. This was really helpful.

You can force checkmate with a bishop and a knight against a king too.

Thank you

The mistake for black is Nc5? Instead, if black moves the queen out of the pin, the knight can take back on h5 and then u bring in the other knight into the defense or even push the f pawn to chase away the bishop on g5.

Hope everyone had a happy and safe new year's celebration. Let's make 2025 the best! I still can't believe its been 25 years since Y2K. Insane how fast time flies!!!

I love the London. It is so beautiful.

Very uselful! I was looking for something like this: where tactics become strategies. It gives "goal positions" to reach in the game just before the center's clean up. Having this in mind helps to decide how to proceed the exchange at the center. And also, successful or not, it puts opponent on its heels, helping to acquire a tempo. At my level (poor), this is exactly what I need to SEE in the game. Thank you!

Hook mate

Brilliant. I've not seen this before, ever.

Some games its best not to castle depending on the postion

A lot of "if"-s here. It's unlikely you ever get to this position even after a 100 games.

Good comments. I find it frustrating when my opponent does not castle but stays in the center and my rook lift is not as effective as wHen he castles kingside.

well done

Subbed. Btw that lag isn’t a big deal IMO. I hardly noticed it until I read about it 😂

Well explained…

Filip, thank you so much! By using your videos on the London System, the proper way to use the Queen, and the Bishop pair, I just beat my chess computer in only 8 moves! The entire game took only 7 seconds from start to checkmate! You are supercharging my chess game and I can't thank you enough! Mark

Brilliant, Filip. Your lessons are incredible. Thank you so much! Mark

I've been really enjoying your channel, Filip. So much so, I decided to go back through your video catalogue and check out your older video lessons. I think this is the 1st video you uploaded, and I must say, it's absolutely brilliant. I've not ever seen this smothered mate, but I really do love it. Thank you so much!

As a beginner, what to do with the bishops is always confusing for me. There is probably fruit for an entire course here.

Excellent vid

Thanks Filip. This was brilliant.

Watched this video when it came out, just trapped my opponents queen in a QGD. Great relevant content.

Thank you so MUCH for this lesson. I've been playing my chess computer and winning consistently against a chess rating of 1352, but when I play at a rating of 1435, the computer wins every time... until now! By using your tactics, as outlined in this lesson, I finally scored my 1st victory! I can't thank you enough. I've subscribed and will return often. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

can you make a french video? I'm struggling to find smth effective vs the French thx

Kia ora from Germany! When this video popped up in my sight I thought that IM Christof Sielecki - whom you may know as a Chessable author and who lives in the some 80,000-soul town as I do - had reactivated his old RUclips account („Chessexplained“) … - and was pleasantly surprised to hear a bloke with a Kiwi accent talking chess in a down to Earth way! Most helpful content for a 1600-odd ELO player like me with more than just a soft spot for Aotearoa after marrying my (German) girlfriend in Christchurch back in Nov. 1999. This makes subscribing to your channel a total must on all accounts! 😉 Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025! Kli 🤙

love it man but this is about 125 yrs old theory...hrd to find new ground

Loving these trap/tactics videos mate. I started out playing the Kings Indian Defence so I know a fair bit about the plans for black, so I always send that H pawn up the board when I play against it. I think this all really started with Ne2 to Ng3. Going to use that one from now on. 👍

Very nice, clear, and worthwhile explanation of this ending. Thank you! As an Elo 1820 who would love to soon get to 2200+, I'll take ALL the help I can get. 🙂 I've subscribed, "thumbs up", and look forward to more. Best wishes, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Very well explained

Rookies the first Sac choice

Really helpfull, keep up these great instructional video’s!

Thanks

Unsuccessful lesson that does not lead to any generalizable knowledge for an intermediate level player. Similar weaknesses are seen in the other videos on this channel. General pattern: Claims a strategic idea (three bullet points) that superficially seems reasonable. Then shows an Implementation that is way too complicated for an ordinary player to follow, remember or ever generalize to his own games. The field of Chess youtubers is crowded enough. Please give real value in your lessons or your channel will continue to stay tiny.

Very helpful

You teach like "The Organic Chemistry Tutor" :D

How does Ne4 win the game? It seems to give a strong position but it doesn't win material or give an immediate advantage.

Is this the fox in the henhouse technique?

I have a tournament coming up in my town like in 5-6 days or so and it's a good opportunity for me to play in a chess tournament for the first time and get a FIDE rating... My online rating is around 1600... Could you please tell me which Openings should I prepare? And I would really appreciate some extra tips if you have time please reply me, I'm literally broke so can't afford a coach... You have an amazing teaching style so please help me...

You can organise some live games everyday where you can pay your challengers some cash award . It will be great . Other people can also contribute to it. It will be a great idea .

Very 👍 good
