Missing some serious mainstream openings seen a fair bit at the very highest level (and various other levels). The Grünfeld Defence, the Catalan Opening, the Marshall Attack, and the Bongcloud, to name three. Ok, three and _a half_
recently maybe, but the Grünfeld wasn't even a thing until the 1920s and didn't start to get analyzed deeply until the 50's. The Sicilian has been around for a loooooong long time. idk if you can really declare any one opening to be "the most exhaustively studied" but the Sicilian would certainly be a candidate.
That is not the modern, that just transposes to the pirc. An actual modern defense generally follows the tiger’s modern which is g6 bg7 d6 *a6* preparing b5 nd7 bb7 c5
Your video helps many. Clearly people here know bunch different openings but still this video is supplementing to thousands. Please make more content similar to this.
I absolutely love the Blackburn Schilling. At three digit elo, even when white plays the best move (going for the knight trade according to Stockfish) the position is basically equal because no one at that level knows how to exploit the central space advantage.
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
The Smith-Morra variation of Sicilian but not the Alapin variation? Additionally, what about the Alapin's opening? There is only so much that can be crammed into a video.
But at least all your pieces are going to gloriously parade around that part of the board while all the pawns have to be taken off the board after three turns due to starvation...
I love and I mean LOVE the london system, it’s just a quick develop and it even develops pawns and gives you good control over centers and defense I also call it a pyramid opening since the pawns shape as a pyramid
@LivingHuman_Nathaniel I'll use the French sometimes. Queens Indian the other way. Most people I play against like king pawn openings, so like Morphey's, or my absolute favorite, the Evan's gambit.
9:47 Worth mentioning that, if black goes e5 and white goes g4. Qh4 is checkmate, and this is known for being the fastest way a checkmate can happen. It also can happen with 1. f4 e5 2. g4 Qh4#, 1. g4 e5 2. f3 Qh4# or 1. g4 e5 2.f4 Qh4#.
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.
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.
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 favourite opening (as white): I move my E pawn two spaces forward, then my opponent makes a turn, then i grab my horse and place it at the pawn's previous place. I call it ,,The horse rampage'' and with that opening it is sure to make your opponent mad!
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 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.
Not me cramming these Chess openings because somehow I managed to have the ego to sign up for Chess intrams and try outs even though I only know how the pieces move and how to lie to my opponents
I can't be the only one who saw the thumbnail and came to learn about the gun opening. I don't know shit about chess but already know that's the opening for true warriors.
Indian openings are defined by d4 Nf6 c4, the kings indian is d4 Nf6 c4 g6... Bg7. In the modern white plays e4 g6 d4 and grabs the center instantly as this is not possible from d4 Nf6. The key difference is the placement of the queen's knight. in the modern, white plays Nc3 without pushing the c-pawn, however in the KID white plays Nc3 AFTER playing c4
The Queen's Gambit is the top notch opening for beginner's as White? I have never came across anyone so far playing this gambit. People just play the 10 Golden Moves, the London System, or rarely the Vienna Game.
modern starts with the bishop fianchetto allowing white to get 2 center pawns(assuming he played d4), while the kings indian starts with a knight move controlling the e4 square so white has to play c4 to gain central space
@@hectorbarreto2823 that was mainly for the example, the modern plays differently mainly with the c5 push early on and the kings gambit is played exactly like the example showed in the video, the main thing is that the modern can be played like the kings indian or it could be played as the benoni or the sicillian dragon or any other opening with the bishop on g7 and the kings indian is only played with the kings indian ideas in mind

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
