Great videos, Dereque! Nobody uncovers all the nuances in every position like Dereque Kelley. It's great to learn openings, but it's even better to learn the theory behind the moves in the opening. You're the man! Thanks, and keep putting out these lessons!
These middle & endgame videos are fantastic complements to your opening videos. This was exactly what I needed after studying openings. Thank you for the excellent lesson! I look forward to an episode on the Najdorf.
Thanks. Precise presentation, like always. Also, your voice is excellent. If I may ask, perhaps one day you could try to analyze the Chameleon Variation or the Amsterdam variation of the Sicilian defense.
Tremendous isn't it! My partner in 2012 lived there! Now the next videos will be done from an even more spectacular view! And yet the first series will definitely be done without video backgrounds at first for a while, then they will be available again with views at some point I hope! One step at a time! Thank you for the kind words!
Really love these strategic lectures on various games and opening positions. May I ask what city you're in? Ive always wondered about the background in your videos.
Even though I've never touched the Ruy in all my life, this is really insightful, Dereque. God bless. >:) Any chance of making a video on the middlegame and endgames of some common variations in the English Defence in the future? (Maybe the symmetric or the e5 English?)
Thank you, Dereque, for another very well explained video.In 21:13, after d6 I think Short could move Rf1+ saving the rook, following with Re1 gaining the pawn. Am I wrong? Probably the game was lost anyway.
That is not my experience or that of my private students! If you are willing to work at learning openings and memorizing as you're speaking of, you'll likely find that you go very far very quickly! :)
You are going better and better with those videos. Well done!
That's very kind of you, thank you!!! :)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! :) I think the part about the Najdorf is a suggestion? I appreciate the suggestion!
Yes, it was a suggestion. If you could do a middle & endgame video on the Najdorf, it would certainly help my game. Thanks again!
Thank you! :) I appreciate the suggestion as well! :)
thank you , u r smile says it all :)
Very kind of you, I appreciate it!! :)
Dereque is the happiest guy in chess. It would be amazing to see him furious on one of these videos. Just once.
lol
LOL
:) I think that would be funny! :)
Dereque Kelley Just a super nice guy enjoying what he's doing. Nice to see.
Thank you very much for your continuation. Great lesson excellently presented!
Absolutely, thank you! :)
Congratulations Dereque, nice channel and good videos! Very instructive.
Thank you Matteo this is wonderfully kind!

Thank you for the kind words, I also appreciate the suggestion, thank you! :)
Great learning points.. thanks Krishna
Love the views of Seattle in your videos!

Why wouldn't he take the pawn at e4 after white castle
Really love these strategic lectures on various games and opening positions. May I ask what city you're in? Ive always wondered about the background in your videos.
These videos are filmed in Seattle! Really great to hear you're enjoying the videos! :)
Can you do a video on the marshal attack please
I appreciate the suggestion and will make a run at this in fact!
Dereque Kelley thank you ❤️
You're welcome

Thanks so much for the kind words! I'll note this suggestion later if an opportunity arises, thank you! :)

Right! What AndreasIreland is saying is true, but it would been helpful had I mentioned it, great question!! :)
21:13 What happens after black plays Re1 + followed by Rd1?
Rc8 will pick up the knight, great question! :)
Ur alive!!
Indeed, thank you!! :)
:)
Can u make a video on vienna game plzz? ☺️
please sir,....can i ask you, if its possible to make a video about RACHID NEZMETIDINOV the game with the qoueen sacrefise. (sorry for my englich)
Do you know who this game was against? Perhaps one day I can cover this, thank you! :)
thank you sir
You bet, thank you! :)
Why after Nf6 and white castles does knight not take e4?
Check our video on the Ruy Lopez for this! I explained it really thoroughly there and also in the comments to that video! I truly hope this helps! :)
muy good
Thank you! :)
How much money are you earning
Beloved fan and student of the game, this is not information I would like to share here, thank you for understanding! -Dereque :)
chess these days seems like who can memorize the most computer moves not human vs human although im low level palyer so it still is human vs human.
That is not my experience or that of my private students! If you are willing to work at learning openings and memorizing as you're speaking of, you'll likely find that you go very far very quickly! :)
What I learned is that I will never use that opening when playing black..
What do you call a brilliant and ultra simpatico chess instructor, who happens to be black? Dereque Kelley. :-P
Haha, thank you, very kind of you! :)
