I’ve watched a lot of videos trying to get better at the English variations and you did an excellent job covering the main ideas in an easy to understand and efficient way. Thank you.

I love playing the London, but you can only do it so many times. The English is such an interesting opening. And most people that I will play against around 1000 don’t expect C4.

Good to see your content again my friend.

7:43 Black does have a clear plan: organize an attack on the king side, Ne4, DSB + Q battery towards h2, h5-h4, d5-d4 push (either to attack white OR to get rid of their weakness and equalize), trade rooks to equalize, avoid minor piece exchanges, avoid queen trade until d5 weakness is taken care of

justahuman
