This is dope content bruh! I like the constant against someone, it's more engaging and feeling like I am learning more because you get to see at so many different levels what they play to the same move patterns you are already doing

You randomly came across my YT shorts 3 days ago, and your ability to explain every move so eloquently is really helpful. I watched your Mastering Italian opening and as a 300-400 elo I'm starting to understand it than any other video I watched. (Your queen blunder on that video with your reaction was hilarious haha) <br>Anyways, I wanted to thank you for giving us such good videos. Keep it up!

This opening carried me to 1100+. And this video taught me even more than what I already knew about the Scandi. Great work as always! 👍🏾

Great teaching techique, simply openly expressing your thoughts. Every teacher does that to some degree, but you have a knack, Akeen.
