very clear and thought provoking

If black takes the pawn on g3 at 26:50 or so, white replies Rh3 and wins the queen right? instead of doing it in two moves with Rd2? or am I wrong?

Also, your videos are the bomb.

what okay ..okay

After knight takes on D6, and black moves Ne8 or Bf8, why doesn't white play Bb5, trapping the queen?

@13:38 could b4 be played followed by Nb5?

I dont understand. He played c4. Why he didnt play Nc7 with great advantage.

Thanks, great job! interesting how many small maneuvers made a huge impact in the game. I like this video, everyone loves the long diagonal shots, but this really shows the power in short purposeful positioning of pieces.

all I can says is fantastic looking  to the second part

As others have said, black played way too passively, he could've easily sacced the rook and placed the knight on C5, where it could become a monster. I don't even consider a pawn and a minor piece that much of a sac for a rook, especially if it gets off a nice bishop (and leaves yours down a dangerous diagonal).

Have a gameplan and remember, if you want to play aggressive openings, be prepared to play aggressively.

Excesive use of the word "cute" for tactics and strategy :)

Beautifully explained, so that even a beginner can follow. Thanks.

more of a passive play by black.
had he been more agrresive, it would not have been that easy.  

Excellent!

26:34 Rh3

great

Anyone else notice how Elliot likes the word "Okay?" a lot in his lectures? Lol.  He's probably trying to ask if we're catching up... which I am, in any case!

Amazing presentation of an amazing game. Thank You, Elliott!

Thanks for the video, i've literally only just started playing so most of this was pretty complicated and somewhat hard to understand; BUT i really enjoyed the video and have a better view on chess!

What the hell??!!. I hate it when these smart alecks say the game is all over when it isn't. White was winning after 15 moves? Not even! He played too passive!!! There was possible ideas of moving the rook to c5 to exchange sac the d5 knight. It was also good to push pawn to b5 to get some attack. Isn't that the point in the dragon?

Serious passive play by black. If he started attacking, it would not have been nearly as easy.
