Dude, seriously, thanks for finally covering the Grob. It's my favorite opening, I went 5-1 as white in a 5+5 tournament with it, more people need to know about how effective it is.
Been learning the Latvian gambit lately. I’m still not great at it, but I love how it forces to white to play black’s game rather than black having to react to how white starts. Plus it leads to complete chaos that’s a real chin stroker for both sides.
The polish is by far more venomous than it looks, for instance 1.b4 d5 2.Bb2 e6 3.e3 Bxb4 4.Bxg7 wins a rook, which is super easy to miss for an opponent if first time facing this idea, after 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 Qf6 3. Nf3 and black is start to struggle because almost every good-looking queen square blunder or let white develop everything with tempo there are like 6 different paths that look promising for black and lose before move 10, really recommend having fun with that one Edit: fixed broken line
d4? it's d5, and d5 doesn't even open up the f8-bishop for black. If black plays e5, the pawn blocks the diagonal for white's bishop. The line which wins a rook goes 1. b4, e6 2. Bb2, Bxb4 3. Bxg7
@@mirrorportal1587 I was writing from my head and mixed things up, thanks for being attentive. So... maybe some other funny line to apologize ;) 1.b4 e5 2.Bb2 Nc6 3.b5 Nd4 4.e3 and... there is no good knight move, especially spectacular (and weirdly often) is Nxb5 blundering Bxb5 on the spot
Let's be straight. In the Bird's opening, after 1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 Ne7 7. d4 Ng6 8. Nxg6 hxg6 9. Qd3 Nc6 black wins more than white. In Grob's opening, black can play 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Bxg4 3. c4 dxc4 4. Bxb7 Nd7 5. Bxa8 Qxa8 6. f3 e5 and be better. The blackmar diemer gambit is considered refuted after 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. f3 e5 In the Latvian, after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. d4 d6 5. Nc4 fxe4 6. Nc3 Qg6 7. f3 exf3 8. Qxf3 white is crushing. And in the Benoni, the lines with 7. f4 are considered best. For example 1. d4 c5 2. d5 e6 3. c4 exd5 4. cxd5 d6 5. e4 Nf6 6. Nc3 g6 7. f4 Bg7 8. Bb5+ Nfd7 9. a4 O-O 10. Nf3 or 1. d4 c5 2. d5 e6 3. c4 exd5 4. cxd5 d6 5. Nc3 g6 6. e4 Bg7 7. f4 a6 8. a4 Nf6 9. Nf3 O-O 10. Bd3 It's fine to discuss surprise openings, but don't neglect what the opponent can do. Otherwise, the surprise will be on your audience.
That's all true, but people really underestimate how OP playing rare openings is, and at lower levels no one knows any of these refutations. Also I'm very fine losing 1/100 game to someone who learned a full refutation, and play 99 games with very often a pleasant position / time advantage. I play mostly rare gambits, and I doubt you know how to refute all of them ! If you are stronger than me you might still beat me in all of them but that would not be because of the opening. Also gambits are always very fun to play ! I don't want to play some lines that my opponents have already seen 10 000 times...
Guys.... Play none of these except like Old Benoni, Bird and Modern Scandi. Blackmar Diemar is also good, but you need to know theory, others are simply trash

@@adamaugustyn5629 Yeah, that's another cool basic trap in the Polish
what do you think about the max Lange attack? if you know the theory it is literally impossible to lose unless you misclick
ayo hippo opening please.
its a mix of caro + kings indian that only a 1900 plays.
i need a full theory video volclus
Helpful, but a lot of line to learn though
What you said about From's Gambit is not true
It is a dubious low-level attempt to quickly checkmate white. With proper defense, they remain up a pawn.
Let's be straight. In the Bird's opening, after
1. f4 e5 2. fxe5 d6 3. exd6 Bxd6 4. Nf3 g5 5. g3 g4 6. Nh4 Ne7 7. d4 Ng6 8. Nxg6 hxg6 9. Qd3 Nc6
black wins more than white. In Grob's opening, black can play
1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Bxg4 3. c4 dxc4 4. Bxb7 Nd7 5. Bxa8 Qxa8 6. f3 e5
and be better. The blackmar diemer gambit is considered refuted after
1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. f3 e5
In the Latvian, after
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe5 Qf6 4. d4 d6 5. Nc4 fxe4 6. Nc3 Qg6 7. f3 exf3 8. Qxf3
white is crushing. And in the Benoni, the lines with 7. f4 are considered best. For example
1. d4 c5 2. d5 e6 3. c4 exd5 4. cxd5 d6 5. e4 Nf6 6. Nc3 g6 7. f4 Bg7 8. Bb5+ Nfd7 9. a4 O-O 10. Nf3
or
1. d4 c5 2. d5 e6 3. c4 exd5 4. cxd5 d6 5. Nc3 g6 6. e4 Bg7 7. f4 a6 8. a4 Nf6 9. Nf3 O-O 10. Bd3
It's fine to discuss surprise openings, but don't neglect what the opponent can do. Otherwise, the surprise will be on your audience.
black has a worse winrate in the bird's opening line that you showed than the viih sou defense.

YOU SHOWED THE BLACKMAR GEDULT GAMBIT

What's the viih sou defense?
Do video about queen indian defense please
