Learn the Italian game , Traps plans & ideas (just copy me)

This helped

Did you know its possible for a human to beat Lc0 in the Najdorf? Yeah, That's right. I've beat Lc0 in the Najdorf, and uploaded unaltered video evidence for anyone skeptical.

not a coincidence that after he moved queen thinking he was smart, I played a brilliant knight sac after watching this

So insightful, so good to understand the position rather than just repeat chess moves. I love content like this.

These videos have helped me increase my elo from 400 to 800, and still pushing! Youre videos are so refreshing and informational. Also, I noticed that your thumbnails could use a little work and I want more people to see your videos. If you are interested I can make you some sample ones for free, so reply to this comment if you are interested. Keep up the good work 💯

This video is so useful because no one talk about the idea or general plans of opening instead of they are showing moves good job body keep going 🙏

buy microphone man, you have nearly 100k subs. we deserve better voice

Respectfully bro, your mic should not sound like that with the model you have. Do you want a hand in post-processing to bring up that audio quality? You're a great player, the sound should match your level!

One thing u didnt cover in this line was what if they don’t castle? And play just normal italian, without castle plse teach this line also

The Italian Game is my favorite opening in chess and I have deeply enjoyed all of the videos I’ve seen from your channel. I enjoy your calm and educational commentary. Learning the key principles you’ve taught about this opening has deepened my understanding of the game and calculating the best moves. Thank you! 🙏

Where do you stream ?

Gotham calls pinned piece pressure, PP on the PP. Put pressure on the pinned piece.

I recently found you and I love watching you breakdown attacking ideas. I play the Italian pretty regularly and it would be really nice to just see tons of your gameplay with this opening.

I feel like no content creators make compilation videos of them playing openings. It’s just speed runs etc.

Might not get the most views but if you did a video like “10 Italian games” and just talked through your moves and ideas that would be AMAZINGLY educational.

I have to drop another comment. I studied this video. I don't mean copy, i studied it. I swear guys, this shit works. The opponent wont always go for the plans move by move but i got an understanding of where the pieces will be effective for me. Yo....this works. LOL
Ive been getting nothing but black pieces lately so i got practice with that. This opponent tried the fried liver (ELO 1150). Won a free knight. Later won the other knight all because the ideas of these plans are so strong. If anything, if the opponent doesn't go for any of the plans in this video guess what.....all your pieces will be in harmony. If you lose, you blunder something. Akeem is the man bro.

You have a great way of explaining the thought process and approach to the game. I am stuck in my progression and would like to join your academy.

Thank you very much akeem youre a blessing

the thumbnail 😭😭💔💔💔💔

After watching this video I won my first game by sacking my knight....Lots of love akeem❤❤

So about the first line you showed. I don’t think I could get a single game at my rating that would let the knight get pinned plus piled on like that. Also, can’t the opponent always get the light bishop with na5?

Is Italian your main opening as white?

Please teach us the caro kann, I have low win rate when I play e5, I am a 1350 and I want to reach 2000 before 2026

I can’t play the Italian like you for the life of me, but the videos have still helped me climb with the Sicilian, we’re at 1220 up from 960 peak when I first saw ur video!

Wow, that was a money tutorial.

Gold! Ty!

Great Video. Loving this opening.

Your delightful Jamaican accent is the perfect conveyor of all this invaluable information you impart.

Sooo grateful, sir.

Blessings

NASTY GOODNESS!!! WOW I CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY! THANK YOU

Akeem my bro, will you teach the other openings as well or only Italian

You're a genius

I actually love doing the double pawns in the center it’s helpful when launching an attack when both players do the king side castling.

can we play some bullet match bro?

Accept me as yuh student no Akeem chro no man

We are your students aswell because without us your page couldn't grow.

Thanks for this instructive video. I would suggest another video on how to defend against those tactics

Bro i love ur vids everytime I see a new upload I immediately click on it the most I can do is leave a comment and subscribe

can you please make a video similar to this but for black pieces.. either how to respond to this opening or a good opening for lower level players. thank you sir

This is so nice of you to share us this video , thank you bro

Saving this for when I learn a bit more and get better. Trying the Italian openings I lost 100 elo as I just don't fully understand yet and keep leaving myself vulnerable.

Hopefully can pull this off when I get higher

Finally subscribed because you just explain so clearly. Fantastic stuff! Thank you.

My favorite opening for white! Thanks for the video bro

The Italian game is very venomous..well done breaking down the plans.
I know there is more to this opening but this should be good enough to get us to 1000

make a video on the sicilian pls

Master class my bro.
One critique. Can you add bookmarks to your videos? So I can quickly see which plan to study instead of fast forwarding to find the it. That really helps

The first line is why usually in the italian game black should delay castling until it's clear what's white intending to do, after white castles h6 is a good move.
