  fredthebear: IM Banzea has been inactive, but gave OTB another go. It could be that he wants a written biography? Seems obvious that CGs operators don't bother to watch chess streamers who aren't from NYC.

2000 hours of prep in the Jobava London System?!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kwi...

FTB had a longer post with more examples from Carlsen, Nakamura, Firouzja, etc. but all these targeted restrictions limit FTB, so readers will have to settle for the above.

True. We have better ways to waste our time.

  perfidious: Why anyone should devote their time and energy to worrying over the types of chess content others watch--or do not--is quite beyond my understanding, but a certain poster is certainly obsessive in his stalking.

  fredthebear: Most of us are quite bored of hearing you yap about yourself stalker who spends his waking hours obsessing over what others post and then makes an utterly useless post himself. You are intelligent enough to make far better use of your time and written contributions, but narcissism controls your bad/mad habit.

FYI: IM Banzea is a prolific streamer of chess instruction and has been for some years. Editors might want to actually have some contemporary chess world awareness other than cheating scandals and world championships. Alexandru-Bogdan Banzea (kibitz #1)

Or, continue to ignore the guy and let future editors a hundred years from now dig up IM Banzea's background and teachings. But by then they might only care about true unknowns and super GMs, and GothamChess.
