Lol: you show the alekhine's defense then the grunfeld.

Background history of grunfeld: It was developed by Grunfeld for a world championship match vs Alekhine. Grunfeld won the first game, and Alekhine resigned by throwing his king 

thank u

of all the video authors, your videos present the most instructive in terms of understanding positional themes;  others simply show lines, variations, tactics, however, you really explain the issues of controlling squares, space, files, and structures.  thanks a ton.

Too much yakkin' about Al Yakin

Danny - that history lesson was superb, and analysis presented very sensitively.  

PS: Astonished at people's presumptiousness, in comments. The correct pronunciation is Al-ye/ak-in....just as Danny says it -rather than the phenetic Ali-kine.

Good stuff!

Excellent video,  yes I did learn plenty,  thanks.

A lesson on the QGA always entertains me as I love the opening (for white) and it was useful to relearn a few basics - in my first year back in playing chess I had a habit of 3.Nc3?! - but this year... now that's gonna be 3.Nf3! 

Sorry Danny but I gotta put this... Alexander ALEKHINE - (alec-hy-ne)  (!!) - you even pronounced his name correctly at one point lol!?

Excellent instructional value. Nevertheless too much verbage as usual for IM Rensch. If some of the excess were eliminated, even more quality could be added in the same time frame. This could be done by writing out the text and editing it down. It could then be read when the video is produced.

Very insightful and thanks for teaching me the importance of center attack and my problems with it.

very instructive, Great video!!

Great job.

I actually think I learned something.  I'll see if I can apply some of it.

cheers!

Thanks Dan,  Learned lots!!

Great! last two videos have been fantastico.

Learned what black should do in the QGA!thanks

center.Thank you:)
