  • Beautiful example for how to calculate explained by you sir ,Kudos to you ,hats off to you ,you are best teacher,guide,coach , mentor 🎉🎉❤❤
  • @chaosdemon1870
    What I have learnt from your videos isn't some nasty opening traps or how to calculate. What I have learnt is trying to go forward with every move and interesting things might happen. Following this approach has seen me become a much more attacking player . I have learnt that as long as you go forward with a piece it's a good move as long as you don't blunder it .This way you can keep improving your pieces and your position and when your position becomes superior tactics will naturally appear .
  • @gm2407
    I am going to adopt your heirarchy of candidate move identification. That sounds awesome and more structured than just taking in the whole board.
  • @Holdem17
    Great content. I think the hard part of finding a move like Re7 is that you are threatening a capture or check on the 2nd move, not the first. For example, you are threatening Bxf7+ next move, and if Qxe7, then you push the pawn to d8 and queen with a check.
