London course on sale: www.chessable.com/alex-banzeas-london-system/course/118788/

[@joetegels2591]

I just recently bought this course, and it is excellent. So is your Caro-Kann course.

[@nevdeboo]

What the difference between the video and non-video course, does the non-video have no live commentary? A bit like this youtube?

[@someguyontheinternet7628]

@@nevdeboo the video version has 20 hours of DETAILED explaination. The non video is much shorter.... Like one hour of little shorts introducing each chapter. Video version is unreal. After studying the chigorin/slav/copy cat lines I won at least eight London games in a row and went from 1000-1100 blitz in a week. All time high. 1200 is next.

[@ericst-laurent1194]

Thank you for your great teaching!

[@kocherpm]

I enjoy the bad Alex vs. mature Alex comic sidelines.

[@studentsofthedream1751]

This is so helpful. Appreciate the more in depth conversation about the pawn breaks and endgame/middle game play. Thank you...

[@russelllippai1463]

Alex - thanks for videos.. I been improving by just being calm, developing, rook on open files, breaking in the center when opponent isn't castled and not hanging pieces. Caro Kahn and Jobava working for me. - Russ from NY.

[@someguyontheinternet7628]

Yessssss more London since I just bought your course with video.

[@JoE_Songs]

Coincides with me blundering my queen an hour ago, with one move to check-mate after a clean Caro-Kann defense. I rage-quit the app and repeatedly lectured myself about checking EVERY move even close to the "end". lol. f***ing hell. lol

[@KokoFixed]

I know that pain

[@e.j.bosman7728]

Same. Watching chess vids for 5 days now. Continuously.

[@Driver_X_]

What I love is that you do notice the blunder, you just notice it at the exact point you make it and can't change it, then you hope your opponent is dumb lol

[@hannesrumpel4527]

in blunders we are all champions, that makes us humans, smile

shout out to all 3 of you watching 🤣🤣😂😂

[@KisameHoshigake-oh1gp]

Alex is the best and also his examples are perfect

[@SilentReichi]

0 blunders in the picture, meanwhile Alex: makes 1 blunder in every game. Jokes aside, thanks for playing the normal london system, as I got both your london and caro course. Really helps me through the middle game

[@mannylokzzz]

loving your sharply dressed alter ego 😂. Got my first checkmate against the fantasy variation!!! Have you done a game where white castles queenside in the Tartakower?! I encountered this the other day and only won because i flagged them lol

[@walterbrownstone8017]

The key to all of chess is the Botvinnik-Carls. It's found both in the Caro Kann and the London System. In case of the Caro Kann Kings Knight Advanced Variation, I learned in this video that it's best to pin the kings knight before playing the Botvinnik-Carls.

In German, the letter "Z" has the English sound of "TSU," so "Zugzwang" should be pronounced "tsug-tswong."

[@Chess_venomenon]

If you are explaining, than do it right. „Tsugtswang“ not „tswong“. Tha a is pronounced like in car.

[@prieten49]

@@Chess_venomenon Yes, I know. In English, there are many possible pronunciations of the vowel "a." I wanted to avoid the "a" as in "slang" without having to go into examples of English words where the "a" was pronunced correctly. The "o" wasn't a perfect match but close enough. I am a native German speaker by the way.

[@GaliReax]

@@prieten49 Normally when you write out the pronunciation for possible English speakers, and you wanna avoid them screwing up the vowels, just write "ah" to avoid them saying "ae" or "e" (like in the word "slang"). When seeing "ah" they will pronounce it as "a". This, of course, is a lot more straightforward and simpler for us Europeans 😂 Long story short - Tsugtswahng

Hi Alex, Did you play Game 2 just before going to a wedding?^^ costume & perfect hair cut

[@ChessAndPawns]

"Avoid early fuckery" :D well that happens to me when I try to play London or Caro-Kann and my opponent does something totally out of control.

WoW! I learned a new chess term: fuckery. Or in this case "early fuckery". Good to know.

[@PhilosoFox]

Life hack for Alex could be to rethink his usual time investment pattern and redistribute some seconds towards the later parts😅

[@SevenTheJester]

07:55 Aw, jeez. First Magnus tells me to sit at the board and play with myself, and now Alex wants me to tickle my opponent. What the actual feck is going on here? Also...I don't have a reason for this, but I can't put into words how happy it makes me hearing a Romanian say things like "I have unmatched perspicacity."😂 Keep up the great work, Alex. ✌️🤘

[@1Baza22]

I had a bad day yesterday after saying I had a good day, losing 10 games on the bounce, tiredness and drinking does not help me lol. However I have turned it around today with 2 wins of higher opponents (I'm currently 440 as I type, I played 554 and 736 rated) The 736 rated player I played I managed to play your beautiful Fantasy Variation and won in 7 moves, yay me :). I will probably be called up for fair play soon, because my accuracy (when I'm not making blunders) is very high for my rating range, but that is down to watching hours of your videos, so once again, thank you Alex :)

[@johnnyirish9852]

I am stopping at minute 9, do I actually learn how to not blunder, or is this again a video watching an IM beating a 1300? Just want to know if it is worth to watch the video, if I am just interested in not blundering.

But i started to Look into Vienna Gambit and danish Defense. I accidently played it in some Games and Then i started to learn more. I am already Close to 1000 going Up from 600 ❤
