  1. Just watched your Italian Game for White Crash Course and it was SOOOO GOOD!! Thank you!

  2. Can you make a video about evans gambit accepted. That would be great

  3. I play the Italians (I am 1500-1600 in bullet) my highest winning % of ANY opening is the Jerome gambit. 71% win rate

    Unless you know the defense to the line you will likely misplay it.

  4. This is the only chess Channel i watch.

  5. It seems most people play Knight g5 before pawn c3. Would like to see a video on that.

  6. Please bring more such crash courses on scandanavian defense and London system too
