I have read that he is actually a very very bad player and no one should take his videos seriously.
Is that true?
When the BYP says he's "a power up," what does he mean by that?

His real USCF rating is something like 700, so I think that answers your first question.
Especially in some of his early videos, literally the opposite of what he is saying is true. Simple stuff like "I have more pieces so I'm winning" but if you actually count, you see he has less pieces, and he is losing. Really weird.

The illegal knight move at 12.20 in this video is my favourite.
He had good catchphrases. Just not good chess.
12.45 is also quite funny. His friends explains why White is better, better development, central control etc., but does not mention that he is a piece up...
... or a power up, to be more precise
I bet he can beat Mike Kummer though
LOL I know, I am just messing with 2Q, since he adores so much that guy.
Maybe IM pfren can explain.
