right because maybe that's a good question for building the habit series because if i'm right you sort of created that for youtube or maybe emerged from your streams maybe you can explain but the core idea is to sort of break certain skills across different rating bands and you know give certain advice to different rating bands in chess right can you please explain to us the logic behind that

Yeah, first of all, I created it not necessarily for YouTube, but certainly with the idea that it would probably end up there.

But, you know, I've always been more of a streamer first, meaning that things get created because I think they'll be entertaining for people to watch and consume live.

And then, of course, entertainment.

You know, it's a double double whammy if you can also then put it on YouTube and people can enjoy it just as much or more so afterwards.

So that was not something I really thought through.

It was just I had the idea that this was during that that period in lockdown.

myself, I actually

But what would you recommend to an intermediate player with very little time on his hands for sharpening up my middle game?

Well, I guess something that kind of went into the London course that I just created for Chessable was to recognize reality when it comes to chess improvement and study.

I present the London system as a true system, meaning at times I compromise maybe the absolute best decision for a decision that's more cohesive with the course, easier to remember.

And if you've got so many variations and then one to two of them are, oh, but the knight goes here in this case.

And oh, but the bishop goes there in that case.

Then suddenly it gets confusing.

You have to remember which one's which.

Do you manage to work on your game or do you just feel like it's from streaming so often that you managed to stay in form?
