    Good luck Alex. I count you a friend, even if you don't know me. Since watching you, I climbed 300 in rapid using, Caro, Kings Indie, and Jobo. In my head is your calm, clear voice giving fabulous instructions. Thank you a million times - you are by far my fav chess RUclipsr.

      I bet he felt like he was walking on a beach when a coco-nut fell on his head. 🤕
      Don't feel too sorry for him, he'll come back in a few years as a GM and he won't feel sorry for you if he beats you dude :)

    was great to see this video man. like others have said, consider you a friend at this point even tho we’ve never met. between youtube and studying your courses…i hear your voice and see your face more than most of my friends these days, haha. was awesome to see that you were back at the table. best wishes and hopes of big pp moves for you in the following rounds!
    thanks for always finding a way to not only teach and educate but also keeping things light-hearted, fun, and funny. as well as always being respectful to your opponents. you just seem like a great guy, with great sportsmanship. so, no matter how far you end up going, i hope you know we’re happy for you, and excited to get your perspective on what was learned. much love from the U.S.

    18:02 Got it it first guess. if we're so desperately wanting bishop to move from G5 to H4, the reason could be we want the diagonal, and exactly that is the reason.

    I am a 900-ish player and find the 3 day game - per move - (essentially a Correspondence Game) a great way to learn to avoid blunders and obvious mistakes. Everything is slowed down to a speed where I can develop a better understanding of the game.
    On the other hand, 3 day games just fry my nerves waiting for my opponent to make a move.
