[@aurielklasovsky1435]

That was great! I am a d4 player and was actually considering playing some e4 just to see what white is up to in the sicilian. Thank you for saving me from playing with that unprotedted e4 pawn.

I just wanted to say thanks to all your vidoes in the chess club last few years. I'm excited to see your newer videos :)

[@Dremfactory]

great job, as I am studying chess by myself, it´s pretty interesting to find out theses kind of variations. I have spent lots of time looking for this kinda study.

[@Hyfse]

Love these videos you are putting out! :)

[@maniniescobar244]

[@ene8004]

So god you do a great job

[@jaydub2971]

This was fun. As a (poorly rated) Benoni player, I find myself playing the black side of a Smith-Morra a fair bit.

[@jandime9540]

[@tijn9137]

Jonathan looks like the kid in a dhar mann video who gets bullied but instead of him becoming a ceo he became a chess player

[@CzechMapper-ii3fq]

is this variations for black or white?

[@MrNadav1995]

You left out the Prins Variation. 5.f3. It would have landed in between wing gambit and smith mora in terms of popularity

[@madvexing8903]

Hey, as Black at 8:51, instead of Bb7, why not Nc4? It seems to nullify the monster bishop and negates the point of the sacrifice, no?

[@priyeshgavande401]

I think it's because if you don't play Bb7 first you get Qd5 by white, attacking rook on a8 and putting more pressure on the knight and if you move the knight you can get mated
