There was this champion who never castled but put his king on the second rank, since it was safer according to him. So bonglcoud isn't as bad as everyone thinks. It gives the king 8 spaces to escape, while backrank only gives 5 spaces to escape.
When experts do amazing things people act like it’s plausible for normal people/players. Anyone else tries this vs. Wesley So and you will get demolished swiftly. The End
Good stuff, but maybe try to be a little less repetitive? Bongcloud or bongcloud style mentioned 6-7 times and the white H-pawn called the alpha zero pawn some 5-6 times.... also, I would like for you to use new games more often rather than 3-4 year old ones. Other than that, props for good comments.
What did you think of Magnus Carlsen's "bongcloud" opening as played in the game? Also, can you guys let me know if the speed / pacing of the commentary is good? I'm still trying to hone in on the style you guys like the most, I think I'm starting to find a style I like, but let me know what you think!
I very much Like that I understand so much of the Game .... or at least I think so 😅 Anyway at 12:12 you leave me puzzled ... you say it's better for black to trade at least one pair of rooks - but why? The rooks to me look better on the 2nd/7th rank, so the exchange would help the opponent ...
Every 5th video is "game of the year."
Ok I will take that as feedback to get more creative with my headlines!👍
"SHOCKED" much

Monster Magnus, one more time ;-) Thanks for sharing Mike.

True, the bongcloud is quite playable if you're ok being slightly worse!

I enjoy the commentary more than the games
