This was a cool video, but I’m not sure how to feel on it, on one hand, it’s amazing you managed to sum up most chess openings so quickly, but on the other hand, you decided to cover variations, like in the Sicillian, you mentioned the Sicillian, then you mentioned the smith-morra, then you mentioned the dragon and the najdorf, a similar thing happened with the queens gambit, you mentioned it, then went over the Slav and QGD independently, and if you had done that for all openings and all variations, we would’ve been here until the heat death of the universe, and that’s just the Sicillian variations, great video overall though

Bro did the pirc dirty smh i love that defense

bro missed king fianchetto

I encountered a very rare opening for white years ago from a practice game against stockfish and I lost as black. It's 1. Nf3 d5 2. b4. I researched about it then found that it's name was Santasier's folly. Correct me if my spelling is wrong. It was accidentally moved by the player named Santasier, his intention is to move a pawn to c4 instead of b4. But,I think his overall skills can contend against Frank Marshall if he has pursued more in his chess career.

No Bongcloud Attack? The strongest opening in the world.

Thanks for the video. On my way to comment on the Candidates Tournanament tomorrow!

I just played an Alekhine defense and it went surprisingly well. I ended up with a b4 early check to start chipping away at his pawns with that pinned pawn. I did have to sack my rook but it was m1 if i didn't. He ended up blocking his own queen in allowing me to run the 4th rank and force a back rank knight queen mate after his knight danced with my king abit. It really does allow your opponent to push early but if you're being careful with what you sacrifice, it's actually amazing. I was very surprised as I don't think I've had a better midgame before. I usually use one of the Sicilian variations but wanted to try something new. The biggest problem I see with it is if they develop their white bishop and queen early. Not like a scholars mate, but after they get control of the center, if they start pinning your pieces early I think it'll get too tight and harder to play, but I have a sample size of 1 so I can't say if it's great or not. I'm about 75% w/r using the Sicilian so I'll probably keep with that, I've been studying variations for almost a year now so I've gotten okay with it, but the Alekhine was quite fun.

I love how you applied this format for chess 😂

Great video

Nice collection, but the main idea behind the Réti (and not Retí) opening is 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4, if dxc4, then 3. e4 takes the center and good luck trying to defend the c4 pawn

My favorites are catalan and italian on white and caro kann and slav on black.

What is the best opening for me? How to decide?

I use the englud gambit a lot, d4? Take e5, either i take their queen, checkmate them with that trap, or maintain a better position and win.

Is that Eric Rosen's silhouette for the Stafford Gambit icon? xD

didn't go over the bong cloud, or the cow

I love reti opening

A minor nitpick: the move sequence shown for Benko Gambit was actually a separate opening, the Blumenfeld (Counter-)gambit. The most common Benko setup involves ...d6 and ...g6+Bg7 instead of early e6. Also, the Evans Gambit is named after William Evans, so there is no apostrophe in the name.

Where is intercontational ballistic missile gambit

I have invented an opening for White that bears no resemblance to any of these openings. Traditional openings are designed to gain a strategic advantage. My “no knights” opening has one and only one purpose: to force the tradeoff of Black’s knights within 10-12 moves. I resolved upon this purpose because Lichess level 5 was consistently demolishing me with the superb quality of its knights’ play. Sooner or later a Black knight always either infiltrated my back ranks and combined with another piece to checkmate me, or a Black knight forked my queen and my king forcing me to resign. I found that getting both Black knights off the board quickly vastly increased my chances of not losing. However, trading off my bishops for Black’s knights was killing me in the end game. So I evolved by experiment an opening that forces Black to consent to trading off its knights for White’s knight or, at worst, to accomplish this by giving up only one of White’s bishops. If a bishop must be traded for a knight, it is crucial to immediately prioritize trading a knight for a Black bishop in order to equalize the end-game. (It is damned hard to win the end-game if your opponent has a bishop pair and you don't.) This opening does not provide any strategic advantage, and it is not possible to assault Black’s king directly at any point. However, it seems to lead frequently to weakened Black pawns that are obvious targets. If one can take one or two of those weakened pawns, then just trade down everything as quickly as possible to go into the end-game. Then queen a pawn or two. I would say that I win about a third of my games using this opening and it is invariably accomplished by queening a pawn. The first three White moves are P-d4, N-f3, P-e3. If Black P-d5 and N-f6, then immediate White N-E5 preparing to take the other Black knight the instant it makes its first move. Often Black responds with P-c5 to remove the protection for the advanced White knight, but one responds by taking the c5 pawn and next P-f4 to protect the White knight until it is traded off. If Black’s white-square bishop attempts to molest the Queen, then trade the bishops off. If not, B-d3 followed immediately by N-d2. You then try to make e4 safe for the remaining White knight, at which point you trade off the second set of knights. This may also be prepared by P-h3, leaving the Black knight no square to escape to, thereby forcing it to accept the trade. It is often very worthwhile to intersperse among these moves P-b3, B-b2 and R-B1. This helps set up the occupation of e4 by a White knight or bishop. Omitting R-B1 preserves the option to castle queenside, as Lichess often responds to my “no knights” opening by sending its G and H pawns far forward. I recommend holding off on R-B1 until it’s clear that Black isn’t going to send its G and H points far forward. Prior to evolving this opening I was losing at least 90% of my games on Lichess level 5. After I evolved and perfected this opening percentage of wins tripled and my percentage of losses dropped by a third. This opening does not lead to many draws, unless you make a conscious effort to lock the position by continuous trench-lines of pawns. As I said, you win not by assaulting the Black king’s fortress but by eating an underprotected pawn or two and advancing it to queen. (BTW, the Lichess engine has a slight tendency to push too hard in drawn positions, especially against entrenched pawn-chains, and sometimes throws away a guaranteed draw by attacking a defensive position recklessly.) I would be very interested to hear anyone's thoughts. It may well be that there is some flaw that would enable this opening to defeated consistently by a grandmaster rated higher than Lichess level 5.

Holy shit I finally found the alekhines defense after a while

why no Rat's attack or Vienna Defense ?

Ive played the Scandinavian more than 60 times and i know hoe to respond to Nc3 just do Qa5 this puts pressure on the knight the moment you bring out your bishop attacking the knight and if they dont know what to do and a random move just take the knight with your bishop if they take with the pawn you take with the queen forking the king and the rook (yes i knoe they can just play Bd2 blocking the check and defending the rook and attacking the queen but in the position ur almost inevitably winning

Treatment of Grob is too short and unfair. At the club level, it can have some surprising bite if W is more familiar with the opening. I like how you divide the openings into quality at club and professional levels. The Grob is fine at the club level as long as you know it extremely well. Should you be playing it at the club level? If your goal is improvement with a sound foundation, no. If you simply want to win with a surprise weapon or just dgaf, sure.

And also it's just more interesting! Sure if you play it a lot you can remember some themes in it that your opponent mightn't have bothered to look at, but the exact way in which the opponent deviates from Stockfish's perfect thinking (which would slowly crush your Grob) will tend to differ wildly in each game. So you quickly get into very diverse positions, whereas with some other openings it can sometimes feel like playing the exact same game over and over again. If that variety is fun to you, then it's a selling point for the Grob.

Pirc is NOT pronounced pierc, and even though I am a beginner, NOBODY I am learing it from has the second move be made with the G pawn.
