You are a great teacher, making what may be quite complex ideas a lot simpler to understand with some great examples Thank you, will now look at pawn tension in a different way. Brilliant.

I'm always surprised at the level of quality in these videos (Great topics/Engaging/Video editing)... Please keep it up Kamryn!!.

[@vladislavshevchenko9970]

I always sacrifice my f pawn in the opening both as white and black. I really love the resulting pawn structure regardless if they accept the sacrifice or not

[@hugovaz777]

Dangerous sac

[@lafterk]

Kamryn, this is a _really_ good explanation ... You explain it simply, clearly and at the right pace. Thank you and please keep them coming!

[@svenjonsson4275]

Great clip, you are explaining very good and are a great inspiration!,Keep up the good work.

[@conorkrystad4634]

I think the third example has come out of the French defense advance variation

[@richardlee-shanok5578]

Thanks for the great video! I'm 1300 and still have a lot to learn about pawn tension, breaks, formations, etc. So more videos on pawn topics would be appreciated!

[@RyanHandby]

This is great conten Kamryn. Made me think a lot more about how I am approaching middle games and I have already gone up 100 elo after implementing your tips!

[@Taylors_Gambit]

In example 3, the e pawn is defend by the Knight if the d pawn takes, it still definitely isn't the right move but at least it is defended 😅

[@kamrynheidi]

True, I realized while editing I said it was undefended lol

[@Taylors_Gambit]

@@kamrynheidi new sub to the channel and enjoying the stuff so far, I've recently adopted the London system and had good results 😀

[@paulknight4450]

Thank you for the video.

[@Sagerydian]

In example 2 trading a rook and a bishop for a queen looks very dangerous, right before the endgame.

[@svenjonsson4275]

It's actually a great trade If you count Bishop as 3 and rook as 5 you already there got +1 as queen is typically counted as 9. Also, you have in the example opened up for blacks king to be further attacked with great chance for white.

[@matthewbennett7839]

Put it in an engine, it’s a winning trade for white

[@Sagerydian]

Sure I can put it in an engine - but not while playing. I am a beginner/intermediate and otb I'd honestly hesitate to trade all this material. @@matthewbennett7839

[@eriksteffahn6172]

After the trade Qc2+ immediately wins a knight, so it's actually a queen for a rook and white is completely winning.

[@Sagerydian]

@@eriksteffahn6172 I see, right! Thanks for taking the time and pointing it out. That's very much appreciated 👍

[@jazdj04]

speaking of pawns WHEN is it not a good idea to do the "bunny ears"? (a6/a3/h6/a3)

[@paulgcasso6279]

I know you like to play the London for white what do you like to play for black? Btw enjoying your content

[@dragonore2009]

If I were ever wealthy, I'd hire a chess coach to get better.
