Alex is a master at speedruns, but also a master of teaching us along the way

[@arthurwieczorek4894]

I find that introduction about exactly how the games begin very helpful.

[@frequensea9434]

I’ve been waiting for this type of speedrun!

[@GamerNate]

So so instructive, thank you Alex! I'm going to give the Jabova a try in my 900-1000 games and see what happens!!!

[@eddychess9074]

Thank you for this amazing video. With you, it's easy to learn.

[@theNfl_Esq]

Switch from the London to the Jobava and also bought the Caro course. Still suck but not nearly as much lol. Ty 👏🏻👍🏻💯

[@seanhunter111]

That setup with the white knight on e5 reinforced by two pawns that you said is/is not like a stonewall is called a “Pillsbury Knight” after Harry Nelson Pillsbury, who pioneered that technique.

[@robertgonsalves1966]

Your videos do help us improve our games. But how do we make our foundation strong? In the middle game we sometimes do get lost.. specially when the opponent makes a different move from what we know.

[@NotPabu]

The middle game is all about making plans, its not just about what the best move is. You decide on a plan and even if the opponent plays a move you didnt expect you look for either what that oppenents plan is so you can prevent it, or find a way to continue your plan based off the move they played. If the move they played stops your plan you either have to create or new plan, or find a different way to make your plan succeed. You cant think of the middle game like opening theory.

[@robertgonsalves1966]

@@NotPabu that will definitely make me think ahead during my next game.

[@joep2837]

is there any advantage to playing Bf4 on move 2 so that you can pick between london or Jobava?

[@canna693D]

You know it's going to be a good video if the notification says it's from Chess Tube 😁

[@sowbblking5759]

Hi I don't know if you have already shown it. But what should I play against d4, d5 then kc3 and kc6. If you have already covered it could u link the video. Thanks alot.

[@sowbblking5759]

Is it already mentioned in your playlist?

[@predraglacmanovic7853]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@vikliss6538]

i was wondering, why doesnt the oponent on minute 18:10 after you castled, take the e5 square with his knight, and what would be your answer to that? seems like an annoying place for white

[@AlexBanzea]

I guess you meant the e4-square. I guess I would have played cxd5 followed by Rfc1 (or Rfc1 directly) and try to play around that knight!

[@vikliss6538]

@@AlexBanzea really apreciate you answering all the comments by the way, love your channel!
