Does this podcast count as blitz or rapid? Great idea Ben. Further thanks to Stjepan, instructor / coach extraordinaire.

Great advice to play through 50 or so games of your chosen opening. I would add that a database such as Chessbase, with it's ability to generate an opening repertoire tree from those games, will add considerably to what you can get out of them. Excellent move to produce this channel Ben - thanks!

That was great.. one thing about The Pirc, The KID openings.. yes they are extremely sharp as double edged and really needs an experienced player, but I enjoy them very much.. so I think, instead of choosing something else, something typical, I choose to level my game up to these openings.

Eastern Europeans in my experience speak poor English compared to say Germans ,Swedes and the Dutch just to name a few examples. However he speaks excellent English. I wonder why that is?? Did he live in an English speaking nation or does he have an English speaking parent?? Very curious about that.
