I play the smith morra gambit against the sicilian and black doesnt know what to do most of the time and end up in a sucky position. Atleast in my elo range (1500 - 1600)
@@ClariseFamily I mean yeah. We 1600s do suck and we know it 😅. But most folks are below this elo anyway. Also smith morra gambit is a legit and sound opening against Sicilian. Sound because u don't have a easy refutation of that gambit. And it is practical too.i know little theory and I am just winning a lot of matches when opponents play Sicilian anyway. But when u know all theory of that opening ( smith morra gambit is surprisingly more theoretical), u will dominate even master level players. Like Marc esserman plays this opening and he beats IMs, GMs, etc not just in blitz, bullet and rapid but also classical. I am not saying sicilian is a bad opening. Just that white players have some aggressive weapons against it.
Very great instructional video! 19:15 how about attacking the queen with C4 supported by the bishop? Or will the double pawn move by white make it okay to move twice with queen as black?
Learn tactics (Lichess), play 15|10, think about every move (don’t Blunder), play London and Caro Kann This helped me when I was 500. 1 year later and I am 1940 Fide
I am around 1000 and I‘ve hardly ever won with the Sicilian Defense.. I disagree, I think it’s not very beginner friendly, especially not against stronger players. There are just so many lines to consider and I can’t remember them. What am I doing wrong?
We English speakers are very forgiving of English Second Language speakers because we are too lazy to learn another language! Foreigners will always understand English if you keep on repeating it, a bit louder every time.
What is this clickbait? Its clearly not the only opening you need to learn with black as its not an opening against anything other than 1e4. And even when you play the sciciliian..you arent learning one opening... You need to learn several, the open sicilian..the closed...hey wait why the hell am i telling you, a titled player with a gm boyfriend all this information..you already know it..and knew it when you made the title and the thumbnail. Dont be disengenouis, its an incredibly ugly way to be.

Charming, enjoyable, simple and great fun 😊
Hey we need a lesson about ponziani open, coz i heard someone says it's one among the italian sideline that are so tricky.
@Aed126 Halo. For clarity's sake; @ & 7:54 d5. Not an advantage, but is this an opportunity foe "en passant"? Just trying to learn. Thnx
@@R.Akerman-oz1tf Yes, en passant could have been played there, by Alessia's opponent.
@@mariiris1403 Thnx! That dispels My confusion.
0:32 "In every opening it's very important to control the centre."
*cries in Grob*
The Grob controls the center with Bg2!

OneTurco: Haha I got your queen. Just resign.
Alessia: brilliant move to win a queen
OneTurco:Breaks everything in his house
Very great instructional video!

yo mam im 18 but its too late for me to start chess im 551 elo now i played 300 matches alwredy still
what should i do now should i stop playing

Yes stop it. Find an internship, start investing, go to gym. Chess is very addictive it can ruin your 20s.
@@Harsh-se1gx this comment gave me some "videogames are for kids get some work done and be a man" vibes
@@Harsh-se1gx yep fr
I think you have better things to do at 20 than to invest time in chess, If you want to just let it as a side hobby do it, or just stop playing
Excellent lesson as always. The main question I'd bet from most of us, how does one remember all these scenarios up to 7:18?
Thank you!
Thank you for this video.
This is exactly what I am looking for
13:10 it’s nEcessary
Its nes es cery .....

Very true I stopped playing sicilian at 1200 and got to peak mid 1900 in less than 6 months
thank you love watching your streams and please if possible please collab with anna rudolf again
Very mellifluous infotainment. So fun learning from someone with such a big personality.
The only opening you need to know as black... And then white plays d4 😮
My go to opening for black (if my opponent plays the Italian) is the Rousseau gambit, it's free ELO.
I wonder ...how far is Sicily from Allessia's Home-Town? Many hundreds is a guess.
Love your videos, you do a great job of explaining your moves to make them understandable
Emphasis works Ok with "accessory"! Please say as U please; We all understand.
23:28 is for the gods :P
Thank you Sweetie I have just won a game with Sicilian opening just now
Next; InAC' curracy. I really miss this channel. I hope U & S/O are doing well. Great fun 4 All.
You still need a black opening for D4
Amazing 😍
No one plays the achevingen cause of g4 its unpleasant
Ale ma secondo te non è troppo rischiosa come apertura a basso livello?
What about the Pirc Defense
And she sacrificed the queen 😮
I just started with the English opening for white, quite similar I guess.
Yes! If black plays 1...e5
Alessia Thank You !!!!
You were like my tutor
Nope, the Rousseau Gambit is the best imo
But so much theory… 😢
What about d4?
Necessary, accent on 1st syllable. English has so many more exceptions than Italian 😊
Thank you!!

good one , master
Good one!
Sicilian rarely ends mussel ,,
ok so... now im in love
❤
The only opening you say. But what if white opens with d4?
didn't cover the Mengarini gambit (best variation against the Sicilian) 😂
Great video Alessia, but sicilian is not for beginners. It's a very trick opening and black can get trapped or can have inactive pieces.
What is this clickbait?

Dont be disengenouis, its an incredibly ugly way to be.
I always play the O'Kelly Sicilian, I'll beat anyone
Beat magnus carlsen😂
@@shibambhattacharjee5268 you mean magnisium calsium
That’s like the worst variation I think there’s actually a forced loss in it.
