At 2:21, If Black defends the Knight with Qf6, what's the continuation in attack for white? Please answer. Good job on the videos. Thank you so much!

Love you video's, the explanations are so "easy" to follow and these setups are so good; but honestly, how often can you succeed with this? I am around +1200rating and after theory move 4, people do crazy moves you can't control (i can't). For example; if at 14:20 they play Queen E4 check; you sacrifes queens or what? I mean, I am not that good enough that I can keep control. If I move bishop to protect they can go clear right side... maybe, if you read this, can you help in how to counter (that) a counter attack? Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work you got a fan!

In the first trap, caution should be exercised when taking the h7 pawn because the black queen can attack the white queen on f6. The black knight defends that position. Will trade pay off?

[xomrokspb]

Thank you so much for this video, please make the same for black

[anthonygross]

Just want to point out that in the Sicilian dragon line, after 7.e5 black can play nh5 which is a much better move. If g4 black has nxf4, bxf4, e5! Regaining the piece and is better.
