[@IndieCube901]

1:40 the best move is actually Nxe4 because when the knight recaptures, you play a pawn fork with d5. There is a more indepth video by Igor Smirnov on his yt that goes more indepth on the lines

[@penguininparis2411]

it is the FOURTH move

[@tristan5951]

This is a common line in the kings Indian and though yes you win a pawn there’s a way for white to get it back or get a better position. Idk which one im rated 1200 and no one usually knows the refutation but there is one i know

HAHAHAHAHAHA i diedddd for real my goal was to give what was asked: "Can you do longer form content on how to improve" So I did!! Thanks for your lovely comment

[@nstrax1]

Chess started in India, it was called Chaturanga - chatur means four,angas means parts. The four parts of king's army were haathi(elephants/rooks), oonth (camel/bishops), ghoda (horse/knights), pyada(foot soldiers/pawns). The piece Senapati (the king's general)was later called wazir by the persians and queen by the Europeans. 'Chaturanga' became 'Shatranj' (persians) and then later 'chess' (europeans).

1:28:31, actually a proper rose is made with only red wine grapes but after crushing the juice is not given lot of time to be in contact with the grape skin (which contains tannins and colour), this results in rose having a less colour than red wine, and it will also be sweeter and less astringent. Some cheaper roses will just be a white wine with a very little bit of red added to them before bottling obvs these dont taste like actual rose and just taste mostly like white wine
