I have to say, great discussion of some extremely common situations I have largely been playing wrongly with the passive bishop over the years. Thank you.

Basically the most beneficial chess content creator in youtube

I love that you get straight to the point in the most simplistic way. Thank you!

I like this. I need to learn to be more aggressive. On the first example I normally plan pawn to H3 forcing a retreat or take of the knight. Great to add some more tactics to my toolbox. ty.

This was one of the most useful chess videos I've seen on YouTube. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post it. It really works. Best part is that it's perfect for our time as the Scandinavian is such a fad among players nowadays. (I personally never play it.)
-
Thanks for the video, this situation happens frequently during my games. Glad to have a more agressive way to respond to this.

Usually they just take horsey

I seem to get caught by these tactics pretty often. Sometimes I manage to win anyway but I have been on the losing side of them lots of times. Guess that’s just the way it goes when your a 500 ELO.

Great video! Sometimes h3 g4 looks dangerous to me, but you explained very well how I can use this to my advantage

Lovely! Wish your courses were a little more affordable! But for a casual player I think all the stuff you demo is really more than sufficient!
-
Always clear explanation and practical advice. Definitely the best chess teacher on the Internet.

I love these positional and strategic videos! I can never remember tactical traps, but strategic ideas are really helpful for me.

Great video. I find this kind of video much more useful for me, than most other chess videos I watch.
