I would love to see more of this opening

[@Pegasus-Chess]

It's one of my favorites with white that I play often, will make more videos on it in the future!

[@DhrjMakj]

Love it! Short & straight to the point. So much better than those 30-40 minutes videos

[@bishopgreenhill4359]

I love the English botvinnik,they all prep for e4 and d4.got a few physical books on it as well which helps…I like the community your trying to build as well on lichess.

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Same here! I've been playing this opening for about nine years now. Thank you! I still have a lot of work to do to turn this into the best chess community, but I'm working on it every day.

[@AgentSmith-w8s]

My fav english opening,lock the centre and play on both sides where the pawn structure is pointing...

[@matheusclaudio7529]

Thanks for the video - would you please do one with the Benoni defense one day?

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Absolutely! I've recently been exploring the Benoni and discovered some fantastic lines! 🔥 It's on my to-do list; just need to finish up a few more lines.

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Tomorrow (Friday), I will upload the video on the Benoni Defense 😁

Good teaching style

[@Pegasus-Chess]

Thank you! I try my best to keep it interesting, educational, and not too theoretical.

[@MartinZanichelli]

I anyway play a4 as White in the Botwinnik. Zero counterplay for Black and if they do their best plan: .....c5 and .....d5, our bad g2 bishop comes to life. Carlsen was recently destroyed playing with Black in the way you show: Sargsyan-Carlsen.

[@Pegasus-Chess]

I will have to check out that game. I do like the early a4 as well to stop counterplay since white has the time to play it.

[@MartinZanichelli]

....c6 and ...d5 I mean, not "....c5" as I wrote

[@Bliss327]

Can u post PGN for this video and for future ones

[@Pegasus-Chess]

This is a great proposal. I'll start posting the Lichess study links in the free Discord channel. Since I need to keep the studies organized, this will require some effort. Therefore, I'll share them as a reward for the active members of our community!
