Thanks Alex for both of these videos...they both struck a cord with me and i learned a lot. Your nice easy presentation style made things very clear. I look forward to more of the same :)

Nice! I especially liked the Nb5! shotin the last game. I saw it because Alex had us pause, but otherwise I am not so sure. Great games!

Thanks! This was a great video. You put the hammer down on those guys and made it look easy but ...we all know the underlying issue ... don't get lazy and keep thinking!!!

Great, why the negative comments ? really enjoyed how the idea is presented.

This video highlights the importance of understanding the dynamics of the opening since a basic move may cause a losing position. Thanks.

Nice video, at minute 24, if Black plays ...a5, then White can also play b4 with the idea of ...axb4 a5 and White wins a piece.
Give your variation dynasty3456. I suppose we are discussing the position at 20:38
As far as I can see, if Black saves his Nb2, he loses the Nf6.

His second installment is one of "personal experience" and triumph! GM Alex Lenderman reviews three of his own games, highlighting in each one exactly where his opponent committed a "Quiescence" error to lose the game. Alex stresses again the importance of looking at all moves, and not ever making "forced recaptures" before considering other possible better moves. Take notes and good luck!
