This is not just any video it's done by one of the or 'the' leading expert on this opening. Thanks for giving it to the community and the internet for posterity.

I hope young and new chess players really appreciate what they are being freely given. Daily access to a GM of your caliber is insane. That’d be like Kasparov or Fischer streaming daily chess content when I was a kid. The only daily chess content that we got when I was a kid was the daily chess puzzle in the newspaper.

The man who is known for the king Indian, is teaching it to us. Exactly what we wanted

Probably one of my favorite things about Hikaru's teaching style is how he explains why certain moves/tactics are strong vs weak vs what was played *and* how to think through calculations. Great video!!!

15:08 Good to see the legend "Ben from the Dover Cliffs in England" featured in this video🤣

[thecodology]

We must appreciate how he takes out his time for teaching us openings to learn 😊😊

Although my 1000 rated brain can't keep up with a lot of Hikaru's analysis I love how he doesn't shy away from explaining more basic principles and simple moves in among, so there's always something useful I can take away that isn't completely over my head. 👍👍👍

30:13 haha thought you could be sneaky hikaru!

[chrisclements]

Hikaru and Levy are basically my virtual chess coaches at this point, pretty lucky to live in this day and age.. I'm at the stage Hikaru's explanation makes perfect sense as he explains it, but as I sit down and play I don't "see" it but that's a start !

[SourenaFFS]

Damn, just as i wanted to learn it, i come to YouTube and here goes this video, thanks hikaru, you are great

Hikaru: “This is for intermediate players, and now lets go full speed” 😅

[Samuel]

only Hikaru could call a 1900 match a “lower level match”

"Ben from Dover, the Dover cliffs in England"

Hikaru 😂 This is like watching a mini "Hikaru reacts to memes" episode!

[IntegralFusion]

Ben from the Dover cliffs :) that made me smile, very smoothly dealt with ;)
Also great content, thanks

[NAA]

LOL, Ben Dover was a classic playground joke in England.

[liammarkey]

I really appreciate how complex hikaru gets with these teaching videos!! Really opens up a whole other dimension on the board

[limegagliano]
