[@odysseas573]

Thumbnails keep getting better and better

[@robyedgar5209]

[@lewissamm]

Cheers, appreciate the sum up at the end also

[@stanaklol]

You're very humble, good video.

[@radzinef3935]

Stejpan you are a wizard, I literally went through your videos looking for this yesterday,and today you post it🥺

[@kasperadamson4654]

Your videos are actually good. Very good.

[@suspiria9607]

Your videos are very easy to follow and instructional. Thanks

[@mikedeocampo6389]

Thanks Hanging Pawn in dicussing this opening. I lost badly as White today as I fell on the e3 trap.

[@HebaBeats]

20:17 instead of Be6 the move Bc5 is a tricky move. after exd4 you have Bg4

[@MrQmason]

Albin is good opening over the board. Especially when there is short time control.. It's not played that much so the person that plays it a lot will have a alot of the variations fresh in their memory.

[@robyedgar5209]

Muchos grandes maestros la jugaron y la juegan !!!! y es un gambito que muchos dicen que es "dudoso", pero nadie quiere enfrentarse a esto en un torneo!!! por eso muchos juegan 1.d4 d5 Cf3...evitando 2.c4 para cuidarse de este gambito. Gracias de nuevo!!!

[@hugoesquivel2560]

Great video! Thank you for the class.

[@jakethesnake17]

11:43 In this position, what if black takes on e5 with the knight and after white takes back with the pawn, black plays Queen h4 check? White king has to move because if white goes g3 to block with the pawn, there’s Qe4 check, picking up the rook. Although I’m not sure how good this is, it seems pretty interesting.

[@shloksangle603]

Very good video.

[@paparoevlogs2524]

Your videos on Caro Kann helped me raise my rating for 400 points

[@LightGraphiste]

good content mate, thanks

[@SwarajDhumne]

At 10:16 what if white takes e3?

[@marcinlewenstein1194]

DISCOMBOBULATING! Not only do I learn darn good chess here, but also pick up great words :)

[@krishnamohannandakumar9784]

keep up the good work!!

[@scooby7877]

At 10:12 What if pawn takes e3 with pawn for white

[@The0Profanity]

First five minutes of the video I think I heard you call yourself a bad player or remark on your video being bad You are too hard on yourself. No bad player could be so versed in chess that they could even be able to produce as much content as you, nor could they do so as well as you do. I love your videos, and though I've been playing for close to half of my life already, I always learn something from what you prepare for us

[@savicreations3365]

Thanks for the video

[@giuseppecavaliere4447]

Eccellente video. Thank you!

[@TimLoveguitar]

at 10:09 why can't the pawn take on e3?

[@ricardolevy4280]

At 10:27 could it also make sense to move Bishop to g4 check and then take the queen?

[@banananarwhals2016]

Then white blocks with the knight and you don't win any material

[@jaroslavpors6559]

Great video, thx! I play a3 as white and try to understand why engine thanks I am much better in all lines, if black castles queenside that is easy, my b4 attack is way faster but your a5! idea is hard to meet. It still should be much better but I still have no idea why. My bishops are wonderdul but one can be taken by knight etc...

[@atzucatatzucat9615]

Thanks for the video. Just a comment: albin is quite similar in style and easy to coordinate with Chigorin defense. Indeed Chigorin is its ideal complement in case the opponent plays 2.Nf3 trying to evade the Albin. Morozevich played both defenses as well.

[@sarthakyou]

In the 3.e3 variation, i got 6. Qa4+ for you. How do you get off that one.. looses material for black

[@xavieremond]

Ty bro

[@christophertolbert2097]

That’s so funny. My rep is a combination of albin and a chigorin gambit that transpositions to the albin 😂😂

[@kamnovak5268]

I see lots of queen gambit players online. this will help me to deal with it. would you consider doing a cochrane gambit video?

[@algs5483]

Tbh, as a Queens Gambit player I hate facing the Albin. I just want to play my Exchange QGD man.

[@maniniescobar244]

my favorite is the Englund gambit

[@PlayinOcean]

Playing the Albin guarantees a fun Blitz game

[@abdullahsameddemir8170]

good video

[@gtrmusic69]

10:14 "White is basically forced to in for this bishop takes" that's a very bad line much better is fxe and you have an even game. You could also go Qa4+.

[@psychwolf7590]

Exactly what I was thinking, wasn't a forced line at all.

[@maxthexpfarmer3957]

But they will probably take the bishop if they haven’t seen this before because the bishop looks like it is hanging.

[@maxthexpfarmer3957]

Wikipedia has a line against giving check.

[@jackson32]

The first time I played it over the board I won with the lasker trap!

[@ChessIN]

Stjepan try not to be scared of trying out such openings as to play at a high level one must have a universal style....only way to get better at dynamic chess is to play dynamic positions

[@tomosaurus2956]

Is there going to be a video on the moscow (e4 c5 nf3 d6 bb5+?)

[@srikaradarbha8355]

there is alderdy a video

Do Gambit series, thanks :)

Please consider doing catalan and english next :) Thanks for all your contents though ^_^

[@magisnus9321]

Dear Stephan good video as always...But I disagree with your 5. Nf3 c5 opinion. I have been playing this gambit, it is now my regular response, and had many good victories even in face to face tournaments. C5 is a good move, supports your pawn and position on queenside. Let the opponent play e3 and if exchange happens you got a terrifying early passed pawn on d4.

[@noamlindell4530]

17:48 he could take with the knight

[@Alexandra-tq5tp]

12:05 as this is my favorite opening I've mastered against queens gambit... I know all computer moves... The main move is play knight to g4 not castle and black is superior already with a lot of attack going on... You can turn on engine to check all the crazy attack variations white will suffer from playing e4 after this move xd

[@mrshow_]

14:23

[@onuragaoglu901]

Will there be an English opening theory soon?

[@siraf1234]

He said he was gonna do it after the d4 series

[@thermex5270]

Ian nepomniachtchi plays it sometimes too.

[@miroslavbrichacek4170]

Your given variations Are wrong - for instance in E4 variation afrer f6 white dosn't take on f6 but instead gives up the pawn on e6 to gain initiative. That turnes the tables around. U shouldn't teach openings because u just misslead people!

[@matteoliberi]

It’s a 25 minutes video and he has claimed at beginning that he wouldn’t go into deep details, it’s an introduction and I found it very useful :)

[@nisarg411]

Nice

[@AradHatamian]

Im in love with you

[@zenyatta5064]

???????????????????

[@يوسفعمارنة-ش9ت]

Fun fact :100 pepole cant all be first

[@samhatts5601]

The reason that may happen from their perapective is that if a popular video is released. What can happen is that a flood of messages come through at the same time. To combat this, youtube may delay comments and likes from actually being below the video and waits until it has the processing power to deal with them one by one. This means that 100 people could potentially think they are the first to comment on let's say pewdiepie's new video.

[@ethanpark.]

i was the 420th like. nice.

[@pigeonnnn]

Not first

[@vishy8909]

Too long introduction i dont care what your prefernce is

[@andersjonsson8403]

Thanks a lot for this soo interesting gambit I was looking for! 😊👍♟
