A nice game and very instructive analysis. Nice Nimzovitch-theme there against the c5-pawn with Nb1-c3-a4. Good work - keep it coming!

I wish all games were that clear... did I just say that? :lol: Nice illustration of the bad bishop.
Yes, I also like to win games like this, hope I get to do so soon!

My first reaction was that blockading the e5 square with the Knight looked good, but watching you overload Black's king with threats on the kingside with the two rooks and the c5 pawn with the knight was very instructional.

5/5, can't imagine learning more in 9 minutes and 8 seconds :D

Brilliant as usual. You are probably the best "teacher" on this whole website. Somehow you have a knack for explaining ideas to your audience without EVER being condescending at all. Kudos.

Oooooh the happy memories!!! I love this pawnstructure for white! I get it from a 2. Na3 variation of the Sicilian, which imo is even better, as white can still play f4 and leave a pawn on e5. BOTH black's bishops are soooo bad there <3.

Thanks for the comments, appreciate it. I forgot to mention in the vid that one more point of the move c4 is of course to fix the weakness on c5.

Interesting opening, basically like a reverse-nimzoindian as white. Excellent job with controlling the game and the board. Be5 (or Ne5) was the standout move to me that separates your class of player from the rest of us who would do an auto-capture on f6 9 times out of 10 with thinking about it. Thanks for the video.
