The Coach Reacts : Ukkoskuuro (1639) vs Adham (1688)

Описание: In this episode I provide a thorough analysis of Starcraft 2 GM and pro streamer GM_Ukko 's game.

A few words about Ukko and his chess background (Written by him):

"... In high school I never touched the game, a physical board or virtually. To be honest I'm having a hard time trying to figure out exactly when and why I got back into it, but it must have been about 3 years ago now. I think it was because of a pretty good friend of mine I met through StarCraft, Gus. He has been taking chess pretty seriously recently and having that in my life kinda keeps me motivated to keep up, at least to some degree.

These days I don't study much at all just due to time constraints, I just make a habit of watching Naroditsky's daily stuff when I eat breakfast in the morning, and do my best to internalize something from it each time. I play maybe 5ish hours of games per week, usually on Lichess. Mostly Blitz/Bullet. I'm 1550ish Bullet, 1700ish Blitz.

I think that's about it. Hope that wasn't too long winded. Cheers!"
