  There ought to be a video for ~1000 rated players for when you try to do a catalan and your opponent gets confused because they haven&apos;t seen it before and does some whack shit you haven&apos;t seen before and now everyone&apos;s confused.

  I wonder how this guy can make so many vids with so high quality in such a short time. There has to be some hidden factory ;)
