  1. Why do so many grandmasters adopt a bored tone of voice when giving lessons?

  2. Rossolimo is more complicated than open sicilian with much heavier theory although it is often wrongly assumed otherwise.

  3. some of the lines in the beginning were not good at all. has no master games and the engine dislikes it so disregard most of them.

  4. Good work SLC! Democratizing Chess one YTuber at a time…

  5. I like Nick, hope to see more of him on SLC.

  6. Just what I was looking for, thank you 🙂

  7. I would love to see a video about wing gambit or any interesting and sharp sideline for white.

  8. Very good video. Thanks so much. One frustration was the ads every 2 minutes or so. Made it difficult to watch

  9. Would love to see something about the Moscow variation

  10. This is nezhmetdinov rossolimo attack not nimzowitsch rossolimo attack

  11. 24 minutes, half the video, into two very minor Sidelines. Sigh…

  12. Can't find a refutation on Qb6? After 3…Qb6 4.Nc3 e6 5. Sxc6! Qxb6 6.d4! stocfish 14 gives +1 and after black takes cxd4 white will win a tempo and castle with 2 pieces and a center pawn in the game against Black queen. Seems like a fairly quick refutation to me

  13. What is the opening called if bishop goes to c4 instead of b5
