I appreciate the fact that when you say, "Let's get into it, " you actually do get right into it. Thanks for the great tutorials.

"How to use your King (!) effectively" could be the next video. ;-)
This is counter-intuitive for A LOT of beginners. But having an ACTIVE King is CRUCIAL in the Endgame phase.

Famous 'King walks':
Short vs. Timman (1991)
Alekhine vs. Yates (1922)
Tarrasch vs. Réti (1922)

Two connected rooks in the endgame is a lot more scarier than a queen.

Probably the best chess channel on youtube. Clear precise information every time

I appreciate it when you say, "Let's get into it, " and you actually do. Thank you for the excellent tutorials.

That's great content Sir, you've found a niche that wasn't all entirely covered in the genre and put your personal touch in it. It's highly educative and a great invested time/reward ratio. Keep it up !

Another great instructive video! I have an idea for a future video... Could you please make one on how to pawn storm correctly/effectively? Sometimes I get into a situation where I am not sure which pawn/pawns I should be pushing, and in what order for maximum effectiveness and so as to not get blockaded. Thanks in advance!

12 ways I’m gonna lose my rooks to the computer…

[PPR]

At 6:53 you can block with the knight and then the bishop after rook takes to prevent the loss of the queen, although it is only a slight difference from a queen-rook trade

[commentjudger]

I hit thumbs up on all your videos right away. Because you cover great topics, instruct well and get straight to the point. Favourite chess channel

[craigsoule]

Just recently got into chess (played occasionally years ago) and I’ve be able to grow as a player, but my friend said I need better “rook play” and this def helps with giving me ideas to use them! Great video!

[SuperYasela]

Thank you very much . Your arguments are very straight as an arrow of Archilies. Very rational and easy to grasp.

You’re really a great teacher. Appreciate it, as always 😆 Thank you so much!! Wish you the very best!

[thefastmeow]

the strategy in the thumbnail is going to be especially useful in my next games! thank you!

5:03 Even materially, that is a losing trade for White, if we value the bishop as 330cp and the rook as 460cp. They would be losing 70cp, which is more than enough to compensate for a somewhat exposed, but difficult to attack king. If we add the loss of the bishop pair, then they would lose even more. Although if the resulting king is vulnerable, then it can be worth it.

Liked the way you showed theories of, capture for lesser value. Or the options. Depending on where you are. And of course the situations.
