I’ve been watching you for a while now. The #1 thing I like about Journey to Grandmaster is the way you analyze. It’s easy to follow and you think the way I do. Also, your reviews on the chessnut boards are thorough.

I just discovered your channel with the video "Everything You Need to Know if You Are 1000 ELO in Chess". But your videos are highly informative and yet entertaining. You also manage to repeat the important things appropriately without adding any filler minutes to make the video longer. Keep up the excellent work.

[@journeytograndmaster]

Thank you very much! :)

The #1 thing I like about Journey to grandmaster is your honesty and transparency when speaking into the camera. You're not giving us bullshit advice you're actually giving your honest opinion and advice as to a friend. And the chess improvement advice which is solid especially when you're analyzing a position from a book, it really helps to see how a strong player thinks about certain kinds of positions thanks Yevhenii

The thing I like the most about Journey to Grandmaster is how frank you are in your lessons and how they are straight to the point. Also, you are not giving any fake advice which just doesn't work and give genuine advice. I am not really commenting just for the giveaway (although I would love to win!), I want to just thank you as by using the principles you teach in your videos, I played the best OTB tournament of my life with a score of 6.5/9! Thank you :)

[@snowydog1955]

Watching these vids has got me thinking differently about how I approach the game of chess. I especially like his evaluation of the Chessnut Evo board. I also had problems of trying to study past games with written books and would give up following through. I actually ordered an Evo board and look forward to getting it. i am not a high level player but i do enjoy the game!

[@journeytograndmaster]

Thank you! You will definitely enjoy it :)

[@paulhildmann8392]

Why do I like watching Journey to Grandmaster? I like listening to you think during moves. I prefer understanding a position more than memorizing moves. I used to be a positional player but now I play attacking moves whenever I can. My elo has gone up a couple hundred points since I started following your videos. Thank you sharing your experience.

[@journeytograndmaster]

Thank you!

For a content creator, you're actually quite a strong player. I've seen your other video on this and that's what jumped out to me. I think the #1 thing about your work is that followers are able to join you on this journey. I'm sure you'll get your GM norms soon with this device. Nice work.

[@jim9198]

IMHO, what I like most about Journey to Grandmaster is the sincerity on your part (good and bad) in helping to educate the viewers on aspects of the game of chess that most KZbinrs do not. For example, you provide education on how to think about situations when playing chess whereas other KZbinrs are putting out useless content as speedruns so all the viewer is doing is watching someone else play chess (a higher-level player against a lower-level player and crushing them). Thank you for that! 🙂

[@DanacChess]

What is the best thing about Journey to GM? In my opinion the fact that it is a great source for improving strategy, even at a higher level. Considering I have similar goals, the level can be satisfying, as most channels in my opinion target too low elo groups, and don't offer content to ambitious players like me. Learning to reach 2000 many will help with, but not when it comes to reaching higher levels. So that is what is the #1 about Journey to Grandmaster.

Thanks so much for doing this review. I am considering getting the EVO board and your comments were very helpful. One use case I have in mind is using the board with my Chessable courses, many of which have extensive videos. Have you tried connecting Blu Tooth earbuds to the EVO (in case the whole family does not want to hear the video)? Thanks again! BTW the thing I like most about your channel is the way to commentate your games as you play. I very much like your style. Very helpful.

[@journeytograndmaster]

Wow, that's an interesting use case :) Yeah, the board has a Bluetooth so I am pretty sure you can connect the earbuds to it. I have used Bluetooth multiple times to send files, works well. Thanks for the comment!
