  3 of the things I love about your streams:<br><br>1) learning about your coffee obsession,<br>2) your 2 arms over head, then elbows out &quot;I&apos;m winning/made a great move&quot; stretch,<br>3) your &quot;Ooooof, why didn&apos;t I see that!?!&quot; post game analysis exclamations. 😅<br><br> Nicely played! It&apos;s fun to watch you learn/experiment with a new setup. I admit I was proud I saw you could trap his queen and was hoping you&apos;d see it as well. Nevertheless, you definitely outplayed him throughout. Looking forward to the next Catalan game. Happy New Year! Time to get back to my water-downed (but still strong) American coffee.😉

  As a Catalan player and coffee snob, this video was pretty great for me. I will say this in defense of watered down American coffee: it’s really great when you have a high-quality light roast coffee (which of course is not the norm around here lol) because then it’s all the good parts of tea and coffee put together

  Loving the Catalan training games. I was looking for alternatives to the London as well and actually had just started watching your 13 video series on the Catalan. To be able to watch you apply the opening in high level games is truly priceless. Thank you, merry Christmas and happy new year.<br>By the way, listening to your coffee rants is hilarious. I sooo get it as an utter coffee junkee. :)
