Give me 4 hours of your time and I’ll say this e4 e5 course promo will be 10 hours long for 4 hours.

This was meant to be a celebratory promo of the upcoming e4 e5 course. I had no idea what I was trying to do would actually take 50 hours.

It's crazy that technically my black games in this video were 48% king pawn. The majority of them came about in the first half of the video and so the second half felt like I was trapped in a vortex of queen pawn.

Anyway, bossman is very sad about how this all turned out, but the blitz chess is still interesting.

Bossman cracking that whip.

I love whatever that's wrong with you

is it christmas or what? can he really be the only youtuber to chitchat for 4 hours?

@jhuehn31 2 weeks ago

Holy smokes 4 hours!

Bossman is really cracking the whip.

Also, I don’t think you mentioned how much you love birds defense.

Bozo's free elo gambit deluxe.

Peak innovation

@NuclearNoodls 13 days ago

Has a tasteful element of found footage to it.

@chrisdoherty9466 13 days ago

I hope Bossman is able to get back to Dynasty Warriors 4 with a smile on his face, despite the disappointment of the Leningrad vortex.

@mmmyyykkkeee 13 days ago

I used up all my hypes. I liked. I commented.

Now I'm pressing play. It's gonna be time to go for awhile here.

Thanks you for this video, bird master

@Nash-xo6wd 11 days ago

this is an epic video. 😎
Showed grit and tact. I would have lost my composure an hour in. Kudos birdman.

The video also humanised you. Of all the chess channels I watched/watch over thw years, this is the most inspiring and confidence infecting chess channel ever

@rbarreira2 10 days ago (edited)

Miles defense is outrageously fun. Also, this is now your second most popular video.

@swerdlowsk 2 weeks ago

respect the hustle

@dsoul007 13 days ago

I thought the “boss man” was GM Raven’s fictional alter ego trotted out for jokes, but now he seems like more of a real person. I’m confused! 😅

@MeatAndFavaBeans 13 days ago

Thanks bro. Really nice surprise! Quite expecting a cut off at 39 mins. I see Ginger GM was up to his usual tricks of playing blitz whilst paralytic. He usually loses 200 points per session and makes it up when sober !
