    I like the terms "annoying moves" and "kryptonite"! I learned to appreciate the Sicilian defence so much from your video. From now on, I shall use this "annoying defense" more frequently. Thank you so very much! 🙏😊💗🎉

    Great Guide! Can you make a guide on the Catalan and Nimzo-Indian? They are 2 great openings used in the top level and even the World Championship. Thanks for the Sicilian Guide!

      You have a lot of pirc videos on youtube like from nm robert ramires and chess giant. So i would rather see a video on the modern, cuz there is a lack of content for it.

      Dont memorize everything. You just need to know like 4 to 6 moves per variation and figure out how to continue yourself

    Thank you so much for going over the poisoned pawn variation. Most videos and books just say “this is what all the GMs play but you’re really bad so I’m not going to attempt to explain it”. It might not be good for an inexperienced player, but can’t I still learn it for fun?

    i like this video but i feel like you need to include the moscow (3. Bb5+), which is also a viable response for white against 2...d6, meaning that najdorf and dragon players are going to have to face it. the amount of youtube videos that cover this variation while not making me want to sleep is basically zero, so if you made that that would be helpful

    17:34 here actually black wins bro... After white plays F3 attacking the knight, you can play Ke3 forking the queen and the pawn, the capture of the pawn on G2 comes with check, stopping white's castle, and black can play Bishop to H6, attacking across white's position and giving the Knight on G2 two squares to scape safely and rotate. Black is winning at least on pawn.
