Thank you really helpful ❤️ can't stop watching ur videos 🥰
Thank you for all the stupid kids you talk into playing a positional opening that they 100% fuck up below 2000 once their opponent does not play one of the worst assumed moves you're showing and not understanding the motives of their own position, and playing the french myself in ~300 online games of the advanced I've never faced 5.f4 and just showing old theoretical lines of Millner Barry gambit, selling it as lowkey easy win for black is just bs. Why not teach better solid opening theory for your audience? Just do it like that Gotham clown and add a clickbaity preview picture for the clicks but teach anything that shows the competence of a GM.
Thanks igor for these traps for me to use
Yo bro

OK, finally have to ask. Is he saying "this operation"? This "variation"? Every video it drives me crazy to make sure I am hearing it correctly.
