You've single-handedly turned chess into something I enjoy. 100% serious. I always used to play chess with my dad and that was a good time and all, but whenever I looked up strategy it was always like reading a PhD thesis-- super dry and dense (with a tinge of elitism as well). The way you present chess makes it into what it's supposed to be: a GAME. I like having all these little missions. Makes me understand the actual game plan, what makes it work and what makes it not work. Thank you

[@Itzak15]

This is so true. Whenever I'm in a chess slump I watch one of these videos and start having fun again

[@delayedhoe9714]

Yeah. As someone that recently took on chess, i really enjoy that now the content is widely avaliable without the elitism related to it. It's really refreshing

[@CrepRanAwayBrother]

So true never underestimate him, he is the best chess teacher ever!

[@LQQ.ERR0R]

Ye

[@pineapplejuice1156]

The kings Indian can be played against most openings, but what you failed to realise is that it takes skill to play this opening. Allowing the opponent to gain a lot of space from you is really hard for beginners to deal with. So DONT PLAY THE KINGS INDIAN I DID IT AND SUCCEEDED THROUGH HARD WORK, BUT ITS EASIER TO JUST LEARN MORE OPENINGS.

[@Teti_K]

"This isn't real life, you can't just ignore problems" (6:57) The genius sarcastic phrase! I'll remember it

I'm late but yes. This will prob f me up for a week or so. I'm going to bed.

[@maksedits933]

As a chess coach (2100 FIDE, 2500 online) I find it extremely instructive how you make learning an opening easy to learn. You advocate some very bad plans sometimes as a way to cut corners which is totally ok for beginners. I will definitely get inspiration for my lessons thanks to this

[@fried_riceee]

Also a great way for beginners to learn from their mistakes.

[@ijaffy.6958]

Chess coach?

Without the music, it was less exciting, but far easier to follow the instructions. The right choice for a rather detailed video!

King's Indian is good for online games, but for OTB games, I would rather suggest playing the King's American where you just pull out a glock. It has a 100% success rate.

[@MasterShark19]

The King's American Attack

[@rryangosling]

A glock is all it takes

[@drowning8972]

​​​​​​@@Dc-kk9bdIt is a forced check bro , white king have to take the queen which preventing your enemy from taking your knight and plus, now your enemy can't castle after taking your queen

[@vivienne2221]

Yes I.. haha😂

[@catafalquechess2686]

I'm 1850 lichess and been playing the kings indian for about 4 years. This is one of the best KiD videos I've seen. Distilling the complexity of this opening into 11 mins is remarkable. Great job

[@juraijahmed1321]

I honestly look forward to your videos as they are legit so easy to understand. The best part is that I can effectively play the opening without memorizing hundreds of different variations. Thanks chesspage1.

[@trolfejs829]

Only in KID, d6 for everything is more difficult than it is showed in video

[@ReiAyasuka]

@@trolfejs829d6 for all e4 actually. Also, facing stronger opponents who even know how to play Bayonet-Attack properly has never been easy. 🤷‍♀️

[@cell_max_deeznuts]

i needed this the only black opening i knew was caro-kan

[@TheCEdrummer]

Been looking forward to this one! I’ve had yet to see anyone make sense of this opening, and I’ve really wanted to learn it because of how versatile it is. Please keep making more of these.

[@ADRNIX1002]

7:52 he sacrificed THE ROOOOOOOOOOOOK

[@ultranitipong4315]

As a classical music maniac, your choice of music mostly pertains to classical or instrumental background-ish music, which isn’t distracting from your well-explained contents at all. I’m learning Kings Indian & Caro Khan rn and your vid’s helped a lot. Many thx

[@l.h.308]

It is Kann, not Kahn

[@TheSano]

I came here to thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I watched your video a couple of hours ago, and applied your simple method whenever i got black pieces and as a very noob player to chess this works like blessings. This really creates a strong defense and your attacks are very safe and easily manageable. Thanks

[@MarekMango]

I really enjoy your opening vidoes, cuz u dont only show an opening moves, u also explain role of each piece toheter and midlle game plans. Seriously, medile game plans are very importand during openings.

[@whosnatchedmyweave6213]

FINALLY ITS OUT ITS BEAUTIFUL You are my second favorite channel (#1 being Top Chess) and you explain openings in the best, skmplest and the most comedic way possible!

[@FJR_BD]

I appreciate you a lot for giving out these lessons. It has helped me a lot to improve in chess. Also, for the ones wondering, GM Hikaru played that game against GM Wesley So.

[@Tondy3]

After every instructional video you make about a opening you make me want to play it. Good job!

[@FarhanKhan-fn5zw]

I always wait for his videos it is a masterpiece!❤❤

The King’s Indian Attack is my favorite opening. It can be so complex yet so simple. Plus it can be used any game

[@VirginVulture]

Thanks for making a video on the King's Indian Setup! I never really knew how to play the middle game and I really didn't want to memorize a mind numbing amount of variations. Hoping to see more great videos coming out! Keep it up.

[@sougata7]

Hands down the most entertaining chess channel I have ever seen. This is superb! What a great way to teach.

Bro this is perfect after an all nighter

[@borisb6423]

Been playing it for over a year and came to the point when I could give those numerous checks to my opponent but still having a hard time of mating as I am by far not Hikaru. The opening is amazing for bullet chess, where you know exactly your first moves and mostly safe no matter what.

[@GreyJaguar725]

This video broke down the complicated concept of a whole opening into bite-size pieces: Amazing😊

[@karoldejnak]

I found this opening pretty deadly at low elo.Often people even dont develop their white knight, so you can just Bb2 and take free rook. Thats tope and thanks for the guide, nice!

Amazing content. Sense of humor and real chess information is great. Do more please ❤

[@rugved4009]

This game was played between Wesely and Hikaru in 2015. Wesely was a strong opponent whose rating was 2779 ELO but Hikaru stormed him with 6 Brilliant moves resulting in a very centralized checkmate of the white king
