@@JustAzab Donations. He's saving so many hours of his viewers' time by not running ads, like doing a public service. Think about it, 10 seconds of ads per view and almost 400k views on this video means he saved 4,000,000 seconds of time, which is over 66,000 hours on this video alone. Multiply that by how many views all his videos gets and he's literally saving millions of collective hours of people's lives. So yeah, donate if you like his stuff :)

@@YesPlease1 Yeah but for the people that can’t donate and still wanna support the channel, we’d love to see running ads on his channel.

[@Giovanni1972]

Positional games are equally nice, not at all boring. I prefer the less violent play of positional chess, which have a relatively peaceful and long but skillful outmaneuvering. Some of these attacking fast action chess openings full of tricky tactics and traps are in vogue now, but Chess is already full of conflict---do we need the gore and hyper-aggressiveness to feel it? I don't. hehe

[@jordanledoux197]

I play a lot of Gioco Piano with white, but I often transpose it into a Scottish Gambit or something similar which becomes extremely sharp extremely quickly. The French is the position that is just boring positional non-sense. I'm not a professional, I play to have fun. I've started to just resigning games where black plays the French. Not because it's unbeatable or anything or it's harder to beat (my win percentage against it is about the same as other openings). It's just boring and annoying. You can have the internet rating points, because if you play the French it clearly matters to you more.
