Your reaction at 1:16:55 against the 1100 is gold. I was watching the timer trying to tell you to play faster 😂

It’s called the dragon because of the constellation Draco. The pawn position is the same position of the stars in the constellation Draco, hence why it’s called the dragon.

Love how helpful your videos are. you seem like a nice dude coming from a humble background. Your "stick around" is wholesome.

LOL😂 at the joy you got when you realized you'd get a smothered checkmate.

Loving these videos bro. My game has improved watching these videos. No one explains it as clearly and simply as you. And I like how you actually play games to demonstrate the lines.

Best channel for improving your game, hands down
