      I unironically do that (minus knight chuck flex) because im too focused on how to open up kings position when i have my attacking pieces aimed at him

    @kurozawa6 Місяць тому +9

    You did well on Game 3 until the Ndc5 flexing shenanigans. But turns out White defended super well because of some engine assistance. The account is banned right now.
    Anyways, even tho I stopped playing KID many years ago, I learned a lot from this. Thanks! I Been watching you along with Danya. Hopefully against higher ratings, it would be longer time controls. But Blitz is okay too, as long as there's increment. Thank you for the chill free lessons! Very fun and calming to watch.

    I 've tried the KID without great succes ( i am an average player 1400 ish). Your KID's video comes on point :). However i saw you playing the French and the CK within the 1400/1800 elo range , you ended the game very often faster with way more pieces over the board. The KID seems to be very complicated even for this range, you finish cause you are a master but your opponent is way less brutalized. I am nearly sure this opponent against your French or CK will have be beaten faster...; this for my pov, KID seems to be very complicated and less "efficient" than the French or the CK which are more "direct"

    this aperture looks and results to be quite complicated. I triy to use it systematically after 1.d4, or 1.c4 but get lost soon. I would very much appreciate a playlist with a few more games explained, like the Caro or the Jovaba London. This is really great content. Thanks Alex

  • @theblindguidedog7782
    @theblindguidedog7782 Місяць тому

    In game 1 near the end, I'm not sure what number the move was because I couldn't see it, a few moves before checkmate, Alex made the move Qf3. If the opponent had've noticed he could have taken Alex's Queen with his King. I was surprised that Alex didn't mention it at the end of the game, maybe he didn't notice. He might mention it later as I haven't finished watching the whole video yet. Just thought I'd mention it as I normally never make comments.
