Found this to be very helpful. Thank you for the effort put in for the making of these contents.

[@You1uji]

Thanks. Very instructive. We would love a Czech Pirc ratings climb from 400-1800 as well.

[@AlexBanzea]

You really came here from Roberto Ramirez! haha

[@You1uji]

@@AlexBanzea Yes! I’m a fan of the both of you guys.

[@mouzdark]

I also want czech pirc

[@oshenfranco496]

Once again, this video is much appreciated.

[@bhaktabdrmonger9338]

Very helpful and hope we will see more rating climb for London system. I am currently 2050 rating in lichess and plan to use this system for my upcoming tournament. Enjoy the content Alex.

[@rafaelrojas7249]

in chesscom is like 1700

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot sir, good luck with your tournament!

[@b1mb4m_c]

Thanks a lot - hope this series continues! You mentioned sometimes that if the moveorder or the positions changes early on depending on opponents moves - it transpose to other types like the benoni, the jobava, stonewall, half tarrakesh … and so on. Is there any plan on your side to cover some of these with the main-ideas/how to play them in the future ?

[@AlexBanzea]

Thank you! I’m thinking about doing a “Jobava London only Rating Climb” after this one!

[@arturojgil]

I have seen all ur videos and this was the most dominant run so far

[@AmongUsAcademy]

10:24 why do you play H3 ? That doesn’t seem like a very London type move

[@AlexBanzea]

That’s actually the most typical thing in the London! I usually play agressive with h4 when my knight is well established on e5, but generally h3 is a very useful move creating a square for the London bishop on h2 (in case black goes …Nh5).

[@leoli1859]

Very much enjoyed it! I’m wondering in game 3, if you could have started with g4 first, with the idea to trap the bishop by f3 later?

[@AlexBanzea]

Thank you! I was considering it, but I thought he can play …g5 and then …Bg6

[@alexk.6315]

I wish this was as easy as it looks

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks mate haha

[@almightygus]

I love your outloud human reasoning while you're playing instead of using engines to check your move. It's far more instructive. I love your videos

[@AlexBanzea]

Thanks a lot! I worked a lot with the engines, and I still pretty much do everyday. They can really mess up your thinking process if you are trying to work with them in your early days of chess. I try to use them only as a blunder check, or in openings when studying new positions.

[@rafaelrojas7249]

Very good skills, thanks. For improve you can show engine evaluation alternative. Maybe some similar 5+0 for more time to oponent and see more interesting games.

[@AlexBanzea]

Thank you! Might do a rapid speedrun in the future!

[@Nexus-X001]

Helpful openings as usual,most popular opening ever i think.

[@AlexBanzea]

Thank you sir!

[@ilanaizelman3993]

I study a lot from your videos, playing London for 3 years already.

[@antisha82]

Thanks as I am London player this helps improve my game a lot

[@AlexBanzea]

Really glad it helps!

[@jadelamrani4509]

[@davidstar2362]

I am glad I found your channel I have progress to this positions. Now I know the middle game plans when I encounter these positions. When the student is ready the Teacher( that is you Alex) shall appear. never have truer words been spoken.

Thanks a lot, really aprecciate it!

[@davidstar2362]

@@AlexBanzea Greetings Sensei!!! Thanks again maestro....

[@AmongUsAcademy]

Love the content as always. You know what would be good to see - if you have more

[@AlexBanzea]

I saw Levi does that, it's a great idea. I actually have no videos under 1000 that is correct. I could do some! Also I could fish for some interesting games and avoid the easy wins since they might not be that instructive when they just gift free stuff.
