Why is this video so awesome? Your analysis is hard-headed, you don't waste our time with slow talking nonsense about unimportant lines, you go to the point and that is the reason why I subscribe!
-
The one downvote was definitely from a Sicilian player.
-
Best video I've ever seen on the Morra, this is my favourite opening. Thank you sir.
-
This is amazing. If you did videos of yourself just playing Smith Morra Gambit against people of 1500-2000 rating I'd watch them a million times.
-
It probably took you a lot of time to prepare this. Thanks for sharing everything of this with us for free! Keep going
-
the best Morra video on the internet. thanks Molton
-
This gm is a great teacher or presenter no extra blah blah like many that I’ve seen in YouTube I will be glad to support this channel

Hi Molton, I just want to say thank you for making this brilliant video! It's very well expained and you waste no time getting to the point. I must have watched it at least 10 times end to end and I really do feel like I have a good grasp on the opening. I recently played against an opponent which accepted the gambit and after only a few moves I was already in a crushing position and I was able to win without much effort! It's very fun to play!
-
Amazing video! This is going to take some time to digest! Thank you!
-
There a good amount of Morra videos, and this is the BEST. Your detail is perfect and it makes sense the order you're presenting it in. GREAT!!! Thanks
-
Thank you so much, Molton! Simply a terrific video on a super-fun opening! Appreciate the comprehensive analysis. Keep up the fine work! Best wishes.

This is an absolutely excellent video. It really is a complete repertoire for White play in the Smith Morra. Thank you so much for making it.
-
Thanks for this course! I love this opening. Many Sicilian players regard this as a bad opening without realizing it's actually very good for someone who knows the ideas very well. I think the fact that ppl under estimate its power gives it even more potential
-
