Thank you for the kind words!

Imagine: you watch these videos, think “oh i wanna try this out”, then start a game as black, only to have white play 1.d4

[@ChessGeek1]

And when you learn the Kings indian, everybody suddenly chooses to play 1.e4. It's how it always goes

[@sasthanatarajan4760]

Such an underrated channel and playlist. This is awesome

[@ChessGeek1]

Glad you enjoy the dragon playlist!

Holy moly, finally someone really dives deep in to these lines and explains them really well and detailed. I face this 9, 0-0-0 mostly in the club level since ppl dont think move order matters. Espescially after the exchanges after d5 break when white pushes his e pwan to e5. Thanks, now I can really get the upper hand!

[@ChessGeek1]

Amazing to hear! I am happy to help you learn this opening!

[@tilar5580]

Hello! I came across this video by chance and I was surprised by how good your explanations are, it shows that you put a great effort into preparing everything, and you have a talent for explaining, I have seen videos of great teachers of this topic or defense and I don't know They understand, they don't know how to explain, you are a talented young man and I loved your final greetings: peace!! Which is something that needs to be promoted in this world! ahira has gained you a new follower and I hope to be able to keep in touch with your channel, a big hug and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

Excellent series, this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much, you are a great teacher! Now my humble improvement: I've noticed that afther Bg7, if white plays an early Qd2 without playing f3 first, it is well known that black should go for Ng4 as it is considered a blunder for white. But after analyzing it a bit, I think that after the most common played Bg5 the position is totally playable for white and if black tries to play ambitious with h6 + g5 the position is a mess, it starts to be complicated and black has to play precise, it's not my cup of tea. My solution: I would just ignore that "mistake" by white and I suggest to just O-O. After all, now white is forced to play f3 and transpose into our well known lines because now Ng4 is a real thread. For instance, if white keeps playing without f3 and goes for O-O-O directly, thats a real blunder, Ng4 now forces white to give up his dark square bishop. Let's see what happens after the natural continuation that white can play with Bg5, now we play h6, and if Bh4 white looses a piece after Bxd4 Qxd4 and e5!! attacking his queen and discover attack on his bishop. Have a great day sir!

hey, i analyzed this with an engine and it recommends h4 in the position at 15:08 instead of Nd6. the engine moves lead to an endgame:-15. h4 f5 16. Nd6 Rd8 17. Nxc8 Raxc8 18. h5 Nb6 19. Bxb6 Rxd2 20. Bc4+ Kf8 21. Bxc7 Rxd1+ 22. Rxd1 Rxc7. the engine says around +0.6 and looking at the win rate white wins 43% of the time, a draw is made 34% of the time and black only wins 23% of the time. what do you think about those stats and that endgame? i am rated like 800 and started analyzing the dragon for no reason (i'm not gonna use it cuz it's theoretical and the things that 800 players like myself face are usually anything but theory). thanks in advance.

[@RahulGupta-oh2wl]

One shot preparation 🔥 thx a lot dude ❤️

[@ChessGeek1]

My pleasure!

[@parthsaran2929]

I like e4 hiting the centre knight and play Re1 to unpin Bishop and put it on H1 I like this line to play against Yugoslav

[@joaopaulouchoa4342]

That's awesome content, that's my fav opening as black, as white I love the English, could you bring us a Master class in the English opening? Keep it up the great work!

[@ChessGeek1]

I have a white master class coming, but it will be d4 not c4 :( because that’s what I play.

Anyone else having issues with getting the PGN? I know it is in the description, but I cannot copy it.
