how can i buy a course about the london when the second move is Nf3

[@AlexBanzea]

@@timt8027 its explained in the course 😇

[@stefantijink3102]

I have your London course and I love how you also explain why certain moves are worse. Most opening courses only explain which moves are right and assume you immediately see why the others are inferior. This helps a lot in understanding and therefore also remembering!

[@professorteemo2721]

i love the little random stories about your life !

"Im gonna be eating him out" famous last words Alex

[@RMF49]

It’s not only a weight issue, I started having back spasms around age 30 from so much sugar in cokes. Every morning at like 4am. Quit drinking soda - went away immediately 100%. Drank again, came back. So I stopped permanently. Also had sleep paralysis sometimes that went away when I stopped. Sugar bad. I still eat some sugar of course but rarely soda and not multiple cans.

[@greybushMEproductions]

10:22 "I'm going to be eating him out...but not like that"...That's a classic line I will never forget and will always associate with Alex.

[@somethingness]

I laughed out loud at the soda analogy. The cut at "in the same way" was just beautiful comedic timing! You're definitely the funniest chess streamer.

[@bloodmoney88]

I was 187kg a year and a half ago, now I'm 107kg. We make decisions, some good, some not so good. Learning is rarely perfect, if it were; would we develop a scientific mind, I doubt it. Love your show. 😊

[@slimpwarrior]

Only 107 kg to go! sorry for the dumb joke lol

dude that was an epic family guy level breakout of the soda story all to recommend knight e5 lmaoooo

I enjoy the analysis after the games i find it pretty interesting to watch you explaining some of the engine suggestions and the lines

[@icerabbit9433]

Hi Alex, i bought your Caro-Kann course on Chessable and it's absolutely amazing ! 🙏 I am learning so much about my favorite opening. You are a great teacher, i really advise the course 👍 Thank you so much and keep going man, you deserve more and more visibility. By the way (i am french), i would love to see a stream and/or games with Kevin Bordi aka the great Blitzstream 😉

Did you get the video version?

Excellent. I was one of those doing h3. No more. Very helpful video.

[@moosewild4239]

@JuiceTubes yes, two different situations

[@Nochenoso]

"Not like that tho" 💀🤣🤣 this 10:23 made me laugh out loud

[@Hassy171717]

Alex: "This move h3 ruins your London plans" also Alex: 23:13 "I think I'll just play h3..." LOL

[@AlexBanzea]

There was no Ne5 available!

[@captjuanco5766]

Looks like the lesson whooshed over you. And no your comment wont pass as a joke lmaoo don't whoosh me

[@Hassy171717]

@@captjuanco5766 well that wasn't made clear in the video... but Alex's reply above gives more info and is helpful to us lower rated scrubs that are trying to learn the game. Your comment .. unhelpful and a bit dickish.

[@captjuanco5766]

@@Hassy171717 LMAOOOO if you need everything to be explained to you like don't play Ne5 when it can be taken by a pawn, then that's on you don't be a petulant child! :)

[@captjuanco5766]

@JuiceTubes well well well what do we have here 2 similar minds of the same limited capacity hand in hand trying to justify OP's claim that the title is a "paradox" LMAO. The fact that you even needed an explanation that "it's okay to play h3 when ne5 isn't available" says enough that I shouldn't take you both seriously LOL. Next time try to also understand what you watch instead of asking to be spoon-fed all the time

[@earntheweekend3731]

The amount of times I've done that h3 push creating space for the bishop. Great tips

[@slylataupe4272]

I tried your plan, i got a very good advantage, then i mess up it was equal then i won again because my opponent blundered, it was a long 5 hours game. Thx for the free course buddy

[@flaviucalin]

Another good lesson, as usual. Thanks.

[@danielfriedland9388]

Despite buying your London course I still play that h3 pawn move all the time in an attempt to save the black bishop(my retention skills need some work). Instructive video.

[@Martin_Neal]

46:17 "(...) Trying is the first step to failure." Tell the kids!

[@TheBluesmon]

Alex, maybe you could do a ratings climb playing rapid games. More than anything, your slow, calm, and methodical approach before making a move helps me get in the right mindset myself, but then you always get into a time crunch at the end of the game after explaining everything to us.

[@ahanranjith]

Could make a video on how to read a chess book, i know the chess notations but idk I feel like I'm doing it wrong, not getting most out of the books. It would be nice if you could show how a chess master reads a chess book.

[@jesse9999999]

"he probably got a chess tutorial from brazzers with the bishop on g7" hahahahaha

[@randyreal5871]

Right on buddy I cut down on the soda too 😅

[@Ridshoot]

Now whenever I get the position where kh5 is coming I will remember not to drink too much soda xD

[@tkdmon.]

10:19 you miss Qxg7, love your video anyway

i used to play benoni was getting crushed and this is why

[@Kalesoccerclips]

Alex, you started the video saying keep your h pawn at home, and then immediately played the h pawn lol

[@kelvinchukwudumebiodogwu2432]

how do you attack with the london?

As someone who is not your mom, diet soda is worse than regular soda and regular soda is pretty bad. And regular soda in the US is worse than regular soda in Romania. : ]

Alex your videos are fantastic… I am going to try harder to play like cat and stop playing h3 at the wrong moments like a “Bozo” 😹😹😹😹

Despite the thumbnail, he plays h3 in the 3rd game. Sorry, I couldn’t resist pointing it out even tho you’re playing against Kings Indian type setup.

This and Eric rosens London is all you need :)

If you follow both, you’ll get confused. Eric suggests to get bishop out first always.

Diet soda (and any other ingestible substance) with artificial sweetener is neurotoxic, and so not good for playing chess.

[@ChessJourneyman]

If you put a human brain in soda and leave it like that for a decade, it will rot away. Therefor drinking soda will kill you in 10 years - correct?
