You did well on Game 3 until the Ndc5 flexing shenanigans. But turns out White defended super well because of some engine assistance. The account is banned right now. Anyways, even tho I stopped playing KID many years ago, I learned a lot from this. Thanks! I Been watching you along with Danya. Hopefully against higher ratings, it would be longer time controls. But Blitz is okay too, as long as there's increment. Thank you for the chill free lessons! Very fun and calming to watch.
Yo you and some of the other popular IM streamers should set up 8-10 game blitz matches. You vs Rosen or Levy…you guys are evenly matched and the videos would get a lot of views
Game 2 was so instructive - I love Your stuff at this elo range. The way You keep Your cool against those fantastic patzers who often get me to blunder away a W by being annoying.
I 've tried the KID without great succes ( i am an average player 1400 ish). Your KID's video comes on point :). However i saw you playing the French and the CK within the 1400/1800 elo range , you ended the game very often faster with way more pieces over the board. The KID seems to be very complicated even for this range, you finish cause you are a master but your opponent is way less brutalized. I am nearly sure this opponent against your French or CK will have be beaten faster...; this for my pov, KID seems to be very complicated and less "efficient" than the French or the CK which are more "direct"
1:03:40 "You want to remember that whenever you have an endgame, you want to use your king like it was Manuel Neuer" I lost it, that's one way to make me remember abour king activation forever. Great video as always, I keep improving thanks to you!
More great content from a great presenter. Best part was where you tried to be flash with the knight and then couldn't get the check-mate but still won, legend.
33:53 there is a checkmate here but u needed to trade your knight on a6 for the bishop on c5. Because then you have bh3, opponent didn't take, so you take Bg2, King moved to f2 and here is the forced mate. Qh4 check, if king take bishop then Qh2 mate in 1. So Ke2 only move. Bf3 check and taking the pawn. Kf3, Qg3, Ke2, Rh2, opponent has to block with Rf2, and Qf2 checkmate. You couldn't take the rook if you didn't trade the bishop because the bishop would be protecting rook on f2.
this aperture looks and results to be quite complicated. I triy to use it systematically after 1.d4, or 1.c4 but get lost soon. I would very much appreciate a playlist with a few more games explained, like the Caro or the Jovaba London. This is really great content. Thanks Alex
Alex Banzea channell determined what I want to play, actually which opening. As white I play only London system and as black Caro Kann and King Indian defense. I think it is a very good choice.
I’m sure you know but I think in game 3 if you didn’t do Ndc5 you would’ve been good, the only reason he moved his bishop, is because of that knight move
Andrea Botez won one of her best games at the Sardinia tournament using the Kings Indian. With her opening repertoire , It is obvious she is a student of the Alex Banzea school of chess.
Thanks Alex for uploading on the King's Indian I am 900 Elo and my goal for this year is 1000 ELO, I'm going to learn the Caro cann and the King's Indian as my defense against e4 and d4 And I'm going to have the Ponziani, Scotch gambit and Jobava London as my reportoire I'm always happy when Alex uploads If you can see this Alex THANK YOU SOO MUCH❤😂❤❤
I play d4 as white and I'm only 2200 on lichess so usually against the King's Indian I'm objectively lost, but my opponent doesn't know how to attack and I defend and then win. Thankfully they're not watching your videos! Usually I hate "humor," but you're actually pretty funny. Well done!
My first proper opening that i played for at least 30 games as black was pirc when i was a complete noob, and learned KID is better fundamentally for beginners so played it
I'm very curious about Alex's opinion on the Dutch. Reminds me of the KID, with the trade-off of weakening the a2-g8 diagonal in exchange for a stronger attack.
Just a mention on the use of words... In sports you are trying to overcome your opponent, who is not really an enemy. If I'd try to say it in romanian, it would go like... E mai bine de a se folosi cuvantul adversar in loc de dusman cand e vorba de sah sau alte sporturi. Btw, I am just a simple bozgor, who lived out the first 12 years of his life in Transilvania, then moved over a border or two...
Could you make a new video where you play against 1000 elo players? This opening would be extra good! And there you could say how to punish their bad moves and explain why it is bad😅 I like you as a player and as a RUclipsr so thank you!🙂
I played kings indian and jobava all time all day but in jobava nowadays i feel very boring to play it can u make a vdo on playing e4 ruy lopeZ or italian
As an average 1500 player I know :)). I like to play against 1d4 or anything else more, maybe because I watched to many of yours and naroditsky videos about kings indian. I will get to the caro kann ones now. 🤣
I think we need a new speedrun with white Jobava London and against 1.E4 the sicilian and 1.D4 the kings indian . Like the comment if you guys think so too🫶
your opponent in game 3 (FlyingRacoon55) was banned due to fair play!! So... You (basically) Almost Checkmated Stockfish!!!! EDIT: I just realized that @kurozawa6 has already pointed this out...
In game 1 near the end, I'm not sure what number the move was because I couldn't see it, a few moves before checkmate, Alex made the move Qf3. If the opponent had've noticed he could have taken Alex's Queen with his King. I was surprised that Alex didn't mention it at the end of the game, maybe he didn't notice. He might mention it later as I haven't finished watching the whole video yet. Just thought I'd mention it as I normally never make comments.
Bro, London is a trash opening for White because players play it as a system against everything ! It’s pretty lame and not particularly ambitious . It’s often a lazy chess for lazy players
This is the best kings Indian instructions out there. The f4-f5, idea, the a5 idea, everything is just so classic.
got a few king's indian games incoming!
I want more of king's indian cause i struggle at this
22:50 “notice that literally every single one of my pieces is defended”
*Opponent captures hanging pawn
pieces aint pawns :D
I absolutely love your videos! You are very insightful and you have made me grown over 100 elo in just 1 week! I’m quickly heading to 2000!
Nice ! Post game #1; I must return. Thanx Alex.
Awesome. I look forward to the day I hit 1000 lol

12:45 the word you were looking for is “persists”
You were hilarious in game 3 😂😂😂
I unironically do that (minus knight chuck flex) because im too focused on how to open up kings position when i have my attacking pieces aimed at him
I dont even play kings indian, but i will watch any video alex banzea will upload
Yep
Love that Alex includes games that he messes up too (3rd game)😅 That's what keeps his videos so interesting!!🎉

Hey Alex, thank you so much for all of your high quality content. I'd love to see you play the Grünfeld defense in a video.
We’re all human, it’s not seeing you be humble too but you’re the man I love your videos
YESSSSSSS! Been waiting for this to drop.

Seriously? You have a third opening idea? Besides the London and Caro-kann? amazing 😂
This is so instructive Alex Haha and that game 3 was hilarious
Have been playing King's Indian for awhile, but have been losing a lot games. Thanks for these beautiful ideas you show, Alex❤
Gonna ask my crush out if alex like this comment
I'm going to ask his crush out if alex likes this comment
@@Overuren may the best man win🤣🫱🏻🫲🏿
A lot of these cringe chess geeks making this unoriginal comments lately. Go ahead and ask her out. Hope you like my sloppy seconds.
I’m gonna crush if this is Alex Banzea
I’m gonna ask my mom out if Alex likes this comment
1:03:40 "You want to remember that whenever you have an endgame, you want to use your king like it was Manuel Neuer" I lost it, that's one way to make me remember abour king activation forever. Great video as always, I keep improving thanks to you!
Game 3 is the funniest game u ever played and u was very shocked u refused to remove ur hat to ur opponent 😭😭😭
More great content from a great presenter. Best part was where you tried to be flash with the knight and then couldn't get the check-mate but still won, legend.
AH YES FINALLY I HAVE BEEN WAITIBG FOR MORE KINGS INDIAN IT LIKE FEELS LIKE THIS WILL BE GOOD CHEERS FOR SHARIBG / creating cheers boss cheers

Been asking for this for months!
If the pin is ' maintained ' was the word you were looking for...but your English is good enough Alex. Another great video!
Bro looks like Florian Wirtz🇩🇪
holy shit he really does lmao
Hi Alex, I enjoy your content. I would love to see another Kings Indian Attack/Defense speedrun from you. I enjoyed the last one.
Alex Banzea channell determined what I want to play, actually which opening. As white I play only London system and as black Caro Kann and King Indian defense. I think it is a very good choice.
Hi Alex,
Please make a Black defense Chessable course for D4 and other lines. Maybe King's Indian or Slav defense. ❤🎉
6:22 thanks for the chess videos all these years. I would actually watch more chess videos on how to draw on demand against higher rated players
Love your videos! At 24:10 a Bxg2 just before Rc3 would have been one more slap in white's face.
Alex is making Kendrick look like a slouch with two uploads in one week
I knows it's asking for too much, but I'm fiending for some more Jobava content.
I started chess 7 months ago and this is the only opening I use for black and I have no idea what I’m doing sometimes so this was helpful
I’m sure you know but I think in game 3 if you didn’t do Ndc5 you would’ve been good, the only reason he moved his bishop, is because of that knight move
When putting the queen in front of the rook you could call it the Royal Ramrod, the Majestic Mauler or the DP.
Your new Filipino subscriber here... Manuhay a d God bless...
can you make more grunfeld videos? :)
Andrea Botez won one of her best games at the Sardinia tournament using the Kings Indian. With her opening repertoire , It is obvious she is a student of the Alex Banzea school of chess.
a video on kings indian attack is needed
Thanks Alex for uploading on the King's Indian
I am 900 Elo and my goal for this year is 1000
ELO, I'm going to learn the Caro cann and the King's Indian as my defense against e4 and d4
And I'm going to have the Ponziani, Scotch gambit and Jobava London as my reportoire
I'm always happy when Alex uploads
If you can see this Alex THANK YOU SOO MUCH❤😂❤❤
42:23 that game was great😂
I play d4 as white and I'm only 2200 on lichess so usually against the King's Indian I'm objectively lost, but my opponent doesn't know how to attack and I defend and then win. Thankfully they're not watching your videos!
Usually I hate "humor," but you're actually pretty funny. Well done!
10:08 blunders the queen, you got lucky ;)
"If the pin persists" is a proper way to say it. :)
Incredibly good instruction!!!
Hi Alex - Thanks for the great content.
bro your so funny naturally. very entertaining to watch
your life hack is king's indian. my life hack is waking up every morning and pissing in the sink. we are not the same.
The word you were looking for in game 2 was persists
Would love to see a video of when to play King's Indian vs Grunfeld.
Can you please make a Chessable course on the King's Indian?
“Daniel Naroditsky would be an example of GigaChad” lmao someone send this to Danya
Please improve the video quality. 1080p doesn’t look like it
Queen/Rook battery is what it’s called.
good vidio alex, keep up the good work
Bro casually ignored brilliancy in second game and moved forward
Thanks for the secret sauce, gangsta 🎯🎯
My first proper opening that i played for at least 30 games as black was pirc when i was a complete noob, and learned KID is better fundamentally for beginners so played it
Bro rly said to strap on 😳
I play Jobavo, Caro and KID for glory, exclusively thanks to the teaching of ONE MAN, Daniel Nar. . . I mean Alex Banzea.
Thanks!
Game 2: don’t open the center before castling.
good video, what a clown fiesta 😂
How could I take your coaching? I am from India. I want to take chess classes from you.
I'm very curious about Alex's opinion on the Dutch. Reminds me of the KID, with the trade-off of weakening the a2-g8 diagonal in exchange for a stronger attack.
vrem unu cu King's Indian Attack
Thanks a lot for the KID videos. Its my favorite opening
Wow :) KID… Alex You are a great scholar . Please do more of your KID work…Thank You :)
Wait what anything but e4!? I've been playing against e4 with KID for 150 games now lol.
lol - “The gods of chess are trying to bite me by the ass”😊
I'm Romanian too love Romanian ❤🇷🇴
Caro or This? Probably doing it wrong but been fianchetto transitioning from Caro at times which is probably a bad idea
Does this video mean that we should be expecting a King's Indian Defense course on Chessable in the future? ;)
Just a mention on the use of words...
In sports you are trying to overcome your opponent, who is not really an enemy. If I'd try to say it in romanian, it would go like... E mai bine de a se folosi cuvantul adversar in loc de dusman cand e vorba de sah sau alte sporturi.
Btw, I am just a simple bozgor, who lived out the first 12 years of his life in Transilvania, then moved over a border or two...
Game 3 guy got banned for fair play violation lol
Amazing vid as always. I have a question: what do you do against 4 pawns attack?
break with c5-d5-e6 (when the e5 break no longer works well, we switch to c5 usually)
Wasn't there the queen trap in game 2 after Knb5 with a6 followed by rook b8?
I come in top percent, should I consider myself good at chess?
i like it, i liiiike it. i am debating whether to play the hippo exclusively or kings indian exclusively.
You can always start with g6 Bg7 d6, and if white goes c4 d4 Nc3 you transpose with Nf6 after E4 :)
Hello Mr Alex can you please make a video on playing kings Indian as white. Is it viable for low elo (1500)
babe wake up my bf uploading our beloved KID
Can you play more games with the sauce (qe8) please 🙌🏼
Could you make a new video where you play against 1000 elo players? This opening would be extra good! And there you could say how to punish their bad moves and explain why it is bad😅 I like you as a player and as a RUclipsr so thank you!🙂
STRAP ON!!! 😂🤣😂🤣
wow, why are there indian flags on either side in the intro.. indian boi alex
What happened to Caro-Kann?
I played kings indian and jobava all time all day but in jobava nowadays i feel very boring to play it can u make a vdo on playing e4 ruy lopeZ or italian
I love king's indian, i fell more comfortable playing it instead of caro kann ❤
bro you can't play it vs 1.e4 tho!
As an average 1500 player I know :)). I like to play against 1d4 or anything else more, maybe because I watched to many of yours and naroditsky videos about kings indian. I will get to the caro kann ones now. 🤣
@@AlexBanzeawhy not?
@@fh2234 because then you'd be playing the pirc defense which leads to different positions.
10:08 what? Botez gambit declined?
You really gonna leave us hanging like that??! Who is this Romanian goal keeper!!??? We want names!!!
Bro, you the best, but your mic needs help. So clicky. Get some headphones to hear it while recording.
Nice video. Could you please make a video on the bishops Oppening?
I think we need a new speedrun with white Jobava London and against 1.E4 the sicilian and 1.D4 the kings indian . Like the comment if you guys think so too🫶
your opponent in game 3 (FlyingRacoon55) was banned due to fair play!! So... You (basically) Almost Checkmated Stockfish!!!!
EDIT: I just realized that @kurozawa6 has already pointed this out...
Oooh wow
Holy crap he was using an engine that’s wild
In game 1 near the end, I'm not sure what number the move was because I couldn't see it, a few moves before checkmate, Alex made the move Qf3. If the opponent had've noticed he could have taken Alex's Queen with his King. I was surprised that Alex didn't mention it at the end of the game, maybe he didn't notice. He might mention it later as I haven't finished watching the whole video yet. Just thought I'd mention it as I normally never make comments.
No. He premoved Qf3 because Kf1 was forced
this is great and all, but can we please get back to more London videos?
Bro, London is a trash opening for White because players play it as a system against everything ! It’s pretty lame and not particularly ambitious . It’s often a lazy chess for lazy players
You have anything for under 500 elo?
