When Raven went to the barber, he asked the guy to cut off one hair for every game he’s won with the Bird

Today’s addition to sayings I will use in the future: Knee deep in the cranberry bog.

19:55 bro I’m crying laughing

That pawn ending analysis is superb.

always fascinated by how complex Bird Opening is with all the plethora of variations and bizarre structures 🐦

i hope we all learn from your mistakes

Nice endgame analysis

Naming a segment "Game 1" implies that there are at least two games. The fact that we get "Game 1" and "Game 1 grandmaster analysis" is pure evil.

pragmatics!!

GM level endgame play 😂

Bird opening always gets my opponent to cheat or abandon 😂 they always turn on the engine to get through the opening😂😂

fantastic commentary and hilarious end to the game, lol

It's time to go

Thank goodness GM Raven is not like that biblical Samson character who lost all of his power once shear violence was committed against his full, vivacious head of hair.  Now we know - GM Raven is more than just a comely head of hair - he is a human being who is head and shoulders about the chess pack!  Don't worry GM Raven - this too shall pass and it shall grow back and then you will have more hair than there is gold in Fort Knox!!!  Okay, enough BS, thanks again for the videos!

Looking forward to that Bird for beginners course even though I own the other one. Beginners courses don't need to be super long I think this one is a pretty good "template": Attacking Repertoire for Beginners: Jobava London by  Midas Ratsma

Wouldnt it be better to delay Qb3 until the bishop is out? i think that more or less prevents Bf5/Bg4 meaning e6 is forced sooner or later. Black cant playNf5-Nd6 without e6 as d5 would hang

yo

It's interesting what you say about making chess courses being so boring. What is a chess course? Is it essentially a load of engine analysis interpreted by the titled player who is named as the author of the course?

how do i buy your course birdmaster. I've been playing the bird for 7 years. I wanna improve
