2020.12.21

Denby vs. Derrick Higgins, 2020: E25 Nimzo-Indian, Saemisch, Keres variation
Magnus Carlsen vs Atle Groenn, Norwegian Championship (2005): D43 Queen’s Gambit Declined semi-Slav
Explainers think they are smarter than you. I only share my ideas.
At 12:40, how does he win the queen?
“You think this game lasted 170 years cuz Morphy played c2?” LOL good one.
15:35 isn't this breaking an opening principle anyway? In the sense that it's better to 'move your knights before bishops in the opening' play. I agree Bg4 is a poor move
Great lecture thanks!
Amazing caleb as always 😍🤟🤟🤟
please make a video on how to play against english from Black side
nice, thanks for the video 🙂
At 37:54, see Napoleon Blown Apart.
Never thought to look at openings through a square color complex perspective… Very interesting! 😎
I lost my iPhone in the club but hackerfox7 on Instagram help me track down my iPhone and I got it back. Thanks hackerfox7 I love you 🥰.

Is it safe to say that beginner players should never accept the queen's gambit? It seems like a sucker move unless you really know what you are doing.
Wow, what a lecture!
Isn't that Morphy game part of a blindfold simul he was doing? That looks like a checkmate I saw in a Ben Finegold lecture on Morphy.
Nge7 also just loses immediately at ~30:00
Brilliant lecture sir. Working my way back to 2000 on chessworld and your videos are a great help!
Great video … thanks
Instead of Rxh5 leading to mate after Kxh5 or gxh5, there was a mate in 2 with Q-e3 check N-f4 h4 mate.
Great Video 🧐😎👍
Great
