I must say Caleb is a gem when it comes to explaining the opening

So sad, I last saw her in the 1998 Hawaii International Open. Very talented.

Informative. well-paced and clear video about the rarely discussed but very interesting Ragozin Defense. Glad Caleb's own game at end discussed White's counter-pin on Black's knight via Bg5, as this option for white was not covered earlier in the lecture.

I like this guy. His presentation is very clear. Keep it up!

"This is Caleb Denby. As always, I will be your driver on this road"... oh wait. This is a different class.

[romankessler]

good work, d4 is my weak side, and I improve it with Ragozin def

[СтаниславКарпов-пъ]

Thank you for good opening video.




Nobody:
Mamedyarov:Please, take my queen!

Who is Arianne Caoili and why did she passed away?

[AhPhoey]

Ragozin?? Is that one of the Marvel Thor movies?

[mitchellwilliams]

Why doesn't white play a3 after black plays Bb4

[bilalkhares]

Would be helpful to see how to play this as white
