How is Pirc vs 1. e4 so different from King's Indian?

Got 14 years clean & sober today. First 11 yrs the gym saved me, last 3 chess has. Alex, both my wife and I thank you, your vids, humor & courses have allowed this ol addict to enjoy chess. You never know how or when you can impact someones life. Even some dude across the globe you'll never meet 🙏

If you uploaded 500 hours of kings Indian, just know every minute of it would be watched by me lol

First, you got me addicted to the London, and then, the Caro–Kann. And now... I sense another long, endless journey exploring the King's Indian.

2nd opponent had a mental breakdown at the end, poor guy 😂

Congratulations on the 100k, 1M soon!

30:22 I find it funny when the opponent does that 🤣.  They look at your time, and THEY speedup 😅

kings indian is the most juicy speedrun after jobava has been dried out

Alex I really liked that you showed the last game because it was very instructional to see how you react to a loss like that. After analyzing your game you recognized where you went wrong and that helped me as well. Thank You.

Congratulations on 100k!

I play the KID and Pirc all the time and I've watched a lot of videos on them. This is one of the best I've seen. That first game was so good. Love the queen to E8 move, I've never tried that before.

Banzea upload and a lunch break. Truly a match made in heaven

Bro you are the best! Seriously, I learned a lot from you. Like I remember it was September 1st 2024, the day I met your youtube channel. And let me tell you, I went from 1100 elo to 1300 elo (just did that today) in like just 18 days. Thanks man! I will be watching every video you ever published. Keep going! Deserved the 100k!

End of game 2 was nuts😮

Awesomely instructive video, thank you! No worries about the timeout loss on the last one, your opponent wasn't trying to teach and explain things brilliantly whilst playing 😊😊

100K subs!  Well done and well deserved Alex.

That -- was badass.

Happy 100k! 🎉 Happy to see another king's indian defense tutorial by you. I reached 1400 elo just by casually watching you play chess and letting us in on your thinking process. Keep up the great work!

Man, I love that you uploaded the last game! We can definitely learn from you  mishaps as well! 💪🏽

Got back to chess let’s say 3 months ago (played with my dad a lot when I was a kiddo) and someone introduced me to your channel. Let me tell you something, easiest 1000 elo ever and climbing like a madman!
