I don't know what people are saying in the live comments but I like this channel specifically because you ARE playing 15+10 and not just endless blitz and flagging 10+0 disguised as rapid but really blitz. The only other few content makes who play rapid are low rated players who play it because their coach has told them they have to think about their moves.<br><br>One other such player who plays that time control is The Chess Centurion and you might wish to arrange games against him (he is based on the UK). He generally likes the Caro Kann as black. Not the Gurgenidze variation though.<br><br>I guess you switching openings a lot means your opponents won't know what to expect (and thus prepare for). Those who find this too slow have 2 choices. Either find one of the many other dozens of channels streaming faster time controls, or watch this later on video at 1.5x speed so it's more like a 10 minute game.

More 30 minute or 1hour time controls please in your streams. Very interesting watching the full thought process.

I very rarely watch any long form content except movies. But I never miss Nelson playing people, whether Peter Patzer or at his own level. 😸👍
