The most underrated chess coach on planet Earth! I can't believe we are getting another steps video. Thank you, Mio!

[@anandbenegal]

What I love the most about your style of opening videos is how you emphasize plans, general ideas, and resources (rather than just giving lines). Thank you Mio, and wish you (and your family) a happy new year!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you Anand!

[@BishopsOpeningRulz]

Mio, you did it again 🤔...You created another great lecture on the Sicilian Dragon 😀 - this time, the sidelines (I played against the 6. Bg5 line, twice - lost one and won one) and was winging it without knowing any knowledge on how to combat this line; hence, that is why I came here, to learn this line, rather winging it and risk getting crushed next time😉. You should be nominated for KZbin chess presenter of the year for your outstanding videos on this great Dragon variation 👏

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks 🤭

[@456death654]

now this is a present! wish you and your family good health for 2024 and beyond mate Mio

[@CristoferCaner]

I’m a 1900 elo player and face a lot of this sidelines. So grateful with you. You’re the best🙌🏻♟

[@fightingforcatalonia]

Mio, I genuinely wish you the best for 2024. Let's uplift our souls and enjoy the beauty of life and chess.

[@ayoublamghari8216]

What a brilliant explainer

[@V_ChessGuy]

25K Subscribers? Seriously? Once I saw the video the quality was like a creator with millions! Keep going man we will get you up there very soon!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@grantc.7838]

excited for the yugoslav attack video!

[@user-lj2og8ql4h]

It may be added that in variation 6.Bb5+ Bd7, the retreat 7.Be2 can be treacherous (as Giri has pointed out in his book on the Dragon). Its idea is that Bd7 now blocks the d6-d5 push, and Giri's antidote looks something for more advanced players.

[@moosewild4239]

Thanks for your time in sharing this. Very helpful info as always.

[@lucassilveira131]

This is amazing. Thank you for the content. Saw it 2x already

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

As Many times as you need!

[@TheChohr]

Happy new year. Keep making the videos - absolutely everyone I speak to about chess, at some point, I end up saying "there's this guy on KZbin who did a really good video on that..." and then pass them a link to one of your videos. Over time you'll get a huge audience. And 25k subscribers is pretty decent.

[@pauliinuma]

Thank you for the Christmas present! I don’t even have to watch it, I just know it’s good :) and I didn’t know you started chess at 12. It was the same for me too

[@djangologic78]

Ok this new year is starting pretty well .... 🙂 Wish you all the best, Mio !

[@Strastniot]

Thanks

[@ediw2246]

Hello. I have one question.. Do you ever considered your chessable courses to make a paper book format? It would be nice to have in my chess library.

[@lutzkonrad5940]

Hi, In the line with 6.g3 Nc6 7. Bg2 Nxd4 8. Qxd4 Bg7 9. e5 is it not easier to play 9....Ng4 10. f4 Nh6 11. h3 Nf5 12. Qf2 dxe5 13. g4 Nd6 as in Onichuk against Jones? It looks like as Black has the easier game with h5, which you like a lot.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Both are fine, thanks good comment!

[@mehrdara6545]

Where can I find the part 2 of this video ??

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

You have to be patient! Its not out yet…

[@willmorrisusa]

Hi - What do you think of Fischer's strategy of " Pry open the Rook file & Sac, Sac Mate ! " - ??? 😶

[@anandbenegal]

you still need to have enough of a dominant positional advantage (and enough pieces) left to do that. That plan absolutely works but one has to be mindful how one gets there. Can't sack too early out of the opening against positionally aware players.
