eax is the address of my value that should never be 1 but that can be every other value that ebx writes in it

it's cmp [ebx],1

alternatively:
mov ebx,[whatever address]
cmp ebx,1

Thank you, I got it

in other words if eax = 000ABC00

eax <- without [ ] means use "000ABC00" like a number (703488 {dec})

if address "000ABC00" = FF (value) 255 {dec}

[eax] <- with [ ] means use the value stored in address "000ABC00" and [eax] would be FF {255}

Isn't that correct ?

yes. A register like eax is just a value. If you want to read an address use [value]

so you can do either [00401234] or [eax] or even [eax+1234] to read the contents of that address that the value represents

also, since you seem to be limiting yourself to 255, I assume you want to work with bytes specifically

then use the "byte ptr [address]" notation

e.g:
cmp byte ptr [ebx],1
