subbed good sir thank you for the very in depth guide to Colorado just what i wanted the trapping queen variation was much too complex for me when I am prepping for a 10 minute tourney but im finding the knight h6 move very romantic as you say haha

[@summersciencepresentation2514]

Very good video with excellent analysis

[@delboy9234]

Very good video, which clearly explained the ideas from both sides point of view. Had this played against me twice in one day, having never faced it before, not even in online blitz. Nice to have a clear line against it.

[@srinivasbayyarapu4525]

the move order is 1. e4 Nc6 2. Nf3 f5 3. ef5 d5 4. Bb5!

[@arthdaware05]

5:50 don't play nf6 cuz white can play nf4+
