I have studied the Center Game some. In fact, I have developed a variant of such, and will share It with you at the other platform where we have communicated and played. Great vídeo here, thanks again for all the good work.
Such a coincedence i just started trying the center game a couple days ago im so glad you made this i definitely feel more comfortable in my moves now thank you!
Woah. That's good timing haha. And you got it brotha, I'm glad you liked it - my encouragement to you is too keep studying it. Learn more lines and variations and not just what to play but also why. Look over your games and see what Stockfish would do different etc. This is one of those openings in which you can gain a HUGE ADVANTAGE in preparation which goes a long way. It could be your 1000th Center Game, and your opponent's first time ever seeing it. Best of luck and let me know if you need anything at all! Thanks, Solomon
It reminds me of an interesting transpositional gambit for the Urusov and Scotch Gambit. It’s called the Von der lasa gambit I think you’ll enjoy studying it. The move order is e4 e5 d4 Exd4 bc4
Good point! I will have to look at this.... I just took a screenshot of this comment. Will look into it. Thanks for telling me about this gambit - crazy how many chess openings are out there.
Hey man, just played my forst national this weekend! Finished 14 of 240 people (6.5/9) in the c group (blitz section), thanks for all the help as you were my main theory guide for the last month!
@@TheChessGiant i played the Owen defence/Caro as black and, kings gambit/Nimzo Larsen as White. B group next year👍🏻 Looking forward to slowly going into the Hippo in more serious games😊
Dude, amazing that would actually post this! I accidentally did this and in the after analysis I was like ".... what in the world is the "center gam" lol. Great video! Literally NO ONE is expecting this hahaha
What's up Jarrod. Glad you liked the video, and it sounds like good timing! Yes, part of what makes the Center Game so strong is that it is so rare! On top of it being sound!
if i can add something, if you are at low level, first know that in the first 8 move, if the opponent attack your queen ( b6 Bc5 ) you should remember that g3 is a good square for the queen idk why but stockfish said it also you must know this line 1. e4 e5 2. d4 f6 ?! 3. dxe5 fxe5 ?? 4. Qh5+ ! g6 5. Qxe5+ Qe7 6. Qxh8 Qxe4+ 7. Be2 ! Qxg2 ?? 8. Bf3
@@TheChessGiant I mean, it's not like the Englund is theoretically sound, but if you're dragged into it & don't know the lines, the Center Game might be more comfortable. Speaking from experience from before I focused my openings down.
I play Center Game all the time. Oponents often play The French or Caro-Kann. By I many times play Paulsen attack with good reasoults. Great video. I try thise move with bishop first. Thanks. 🎉
@@TheChessGiant thanks. So far I've played the Scotch Game a lot but doing d4 earlier sounds interesting. I've played against the Center Game a few times and have done well as black. That said, I'm only 1100 ELO so I'm not playing against strong players.
Everything is awesome in this course, but in 4:33, d6 seems very dubious, however, I don't think you made a mistake, cause incredibly, it's the most played by lichess users. Wow. Thanks again, Solomon, for this lesson. I never liked the Center Game but this video has tempted me. Much obliged.
What's up man! Ya some good thoughts here - d6 seems dubious BUT it's also the most popular move in online chess.... this shows that the Center Game can bring incredibly results when played properly.... as most players simply don't know what to do with it!
Thanks! And ya that is a potential Scotch Gambit transposition! There is also c3 continuing into a Danish Gambit. Pretty fun all of the options the e4 player has there.
my man, thanks for the video... but I need help, what do I do if black plays 3... c5, I know that its bad for black but I don´t know how to exactly refute it, please help...
Great chess opening recommendations!! I actually have recently filmed a video on the Modern Defense, and once it is out of the editing process we can post it to the main channel!
Hey gald it you liked brotha! And that's interesting - this is a move I hadn't given much thought to... it's not very common BUT that doesn't mean it isn't good. I like it, b6 with Bc5 on the way! I might have to take a closer into how white should respond against this.
I would say looking into stuff like the Hippopotamus Defense, Saragossa Opening, Italian Opening, Giuoco Piano, Scandinavian Defense (Modern Variation), Caro-Kann Defense, and London System are all good places to start when looking for beginner chess openings. There are many good chess openings for white, and chess openings for black. But, it's all about finding what YOU like and sticking with it!

I had never imagined playing 1. e4 e5 2. d4 without the intention of playing a Danish! Love the idea of these alternatives!
Ya it's interesting right? Glad you liked it Jon, and I hope you've been well!

8. Bf3
what a description. a masterpiece
Also a viable tool in transposition if you're a d4 player uncomfortable facing the Englund Gambit
That's a personal attack haha
True that! That didn't even cross my mind!
@@TheChessGiant I mean, it's not like the Englund is theoretically sound, but if you're dragged into it & don't know the lines, the Center Game might be more comfortable. Speaking from experience from before I focused my openings down.
True that, this makes sense!

Great introduction to the Center Game, had no idea what it was past 2.d4 before watching your video.
Thanks brotha, I'm glad you liked it! And ya it's a fun opening with solid potential, but most just don't know too much about it!
@@TheChessGiant thanks. So far I've played the Scotch Game a lot but doing d4 earlier sounds interesting. I've played against the Center Game a few times and have done well as black. That said, I'm only 1100 ELO so I'm not playing against strong players.
For sure! Well hey keep experimenting and trying new stuff out. And 1100 ELO is a solid spot to work on this stuff. Keep it up!
@@TheChessGiant will do, thanks a lot!
Ty for insights, Giant 👍
You got it my guy! Glad you liked it. The Center Game is a rare opening but a strong one.
Very interesting opening ❤
I will try it 😮
Glad you liked the Center Game! And let me know how it goes!

Very nice video.. some people also develops Nf3 after dxe4 instead of taking it right back with queen
Thanks! And ya that is a potential Scotch Gambit transposition! There is also c3 continuing into a Danish Gambit. Pretty fun all of the options the e4 player has there.
Have You checked The Butcher's video how to destroy Hippo in a couple moves? I thought you could be interested in.
I saw a little bit of it - I gotta make a response to his video! Thanks for putting this on my radar.
my man, thanks for the video... but I need help, what do I do if black plays 3... c5, I know that its bad for black but I don´t know how to exactly refute it, please help...
4:35 Bishop e Juan? 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! As always
Cn you bring the Gurgenidze and the main line modern? Cheers!
Great chess opening recommendations!! I actually have recently filmed a video on the Modern Defense, and once it is out of the editing process we can post it to the main channel!
My favorite opening. This is the one I play when I want to bring my A game or revenge
Great video as always. At 3:15 is b6 a move here? Looking to play Bc5 with tempo?

Are there chess openings you recommend for beginners?

after Bd2 i notice that only 23% of people in lichess database played Be7 i have seen some b6 g6 Ng4 and others
Thanks solomanerdale
You got it my guy 🙏🏽
Nice, I voted for this opening video but was in the minority.
Ah yes! Glad you liked it. I honestly spaced on dropping the King's Indian Defense video first, but I will release that one soon.
it is so fun that in lichess database, Bd2 happen 5% and Be1 only 3%
Like the weird comment about the bishop..😀 made me laugh…thanks for the advice be good to play a different type of game.
I have a center game opening course I just uploaded if you want to see
