  1. Can you do a video about how to reply in queens gambit?

  2. The pirate hates the French! Quelle surprise!

  3. I would really love to see King's gambit. Whenever i used to start with pawn e5 on lichess, opponents took more time to move like they were saying "What the f*ck you just did there". It was fun.

  4. Improve mic quality. Love your content though, not a diss! Keep it up!

  5. Is there an opening for black that is the rough equivalent to the London or Colle Systems?

  6. Interesting idea: Have an interactive chess live stream like the one by flare tv "2048 – if we win the stream ends", but instead we play chess against stockfish level 1 by typing moves in chess notation in the chat.

  7. How can I reasonably be expected to take advice from a pirate?

  8. ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ…Liked it!

  11. Can you do Defending Against the English Opening please?

  12. Wow, this was posted yesterday! Nice simple explanation of the basic ideas in an opening and some specifics of this opening. It would be nice to mention some strategic ideas for black and white. I.e. what are the goals of the two sides for the middlegame, and the major weaknesses you will try to exploit. You mentioned white's isolated kings pawn for example. I hope you continue with the other popular openings in the same style! E.g. Ruy Lopez or Sicilian.

  13. Best explanation I've seen on this opening. Great pacing and balance of explaining moves and common traps

  14. Nice video. I would like to see more analysis on this opening in the future to get more ideas or plans in the middle game.
