Love how David suggests that gambits aren't real openings.

I like your videos better than any other author's videos except IM AceChess because you two are more interesting.

Sadly, GambitGareth lost on time. He had a mate in 3.

Good game! Keep them comming.

First hybrid was very good and picked up some pointers. This one was of only moderate interest. Easy win for white. Speaking for myself, nothing special or particularly instructive was going on. How about crafty French Defense or Caro-Kann with players at this level ?

I find the new format very engaging.  Instead of watching in awe at one of the chess gods, I am learning how to avoid the same kind of mistakes I would make.

i like the concept behind IM David Pruess video here.  it's interesting ... and instructive and fresh; it's sort of like a reality chess show.

Yeah I too could watch these type of videos all day, very good to hear the Master's thoughts over a lower-rated game than usual, I could do with that on my live games lol :)

Hate to say it, but rezzirenaldo ended up winning this one on time.  Enjoyed the video though!

love the new format

Interesting  Thanks

@BrootFaus - Nxe5 already loses a piece - so what is the point you're trying to make? How would black compensate for the piece in your line? Ok, two pawns, but there are some other factors in white's favor - for example having castled, the weak d6 pawn and d5 square - so I have to disagree with you.

Great concept - keep these hybrids coming!
