      Jokes aside, I've always wondered how English speaking people end up with the name Dutch. Were they originally from the Netherlands?
      We (the Dutch :)) never do this. We do know the name Engels, which in modern day Dutch means English, but it's referring to angels, not to English people.

I reallay laughed my ass off, when ever i see the titled sh*t show and i learn so much about this super fascinating game (which i already knew, but some aspects gave me the right push, when you haven spoken them out in your inimitable style). keep on the good vibes and greets to your sweet cats.

    These are really unique and the commentary you provide - apart from being extremely entertaining - helps us to understand how a master thinks in human categories, which is so much more relatable than just engine lines and completely unrealistic defenses discussed on some other channels. My chess (of course very low level) improved so much because of your clear explanations of basic concepts and plans. I have never regretted a penny spent on your courses!

    I was ok with this stream until the dissing of the tomatoes on a full English breakfast plate started up. Oh no.... No No No. I can't accept that at all. Tomato haters will always hate. Where's the balance? Where's the tolerance? Where's the brotherhood of mankind that accepts one and all.... unless we're talking uncooked tomatoes then maybe there's a case to be made.
