The problem with studying openings is that it's entirely dependent on what your opponent plays. I think these might work well with others who study chess but not so much with clever amateurs who just wing it as they go.
@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 I always like to play chess more so aggressive than defensive and that has helped me. I feel like these openings are just a guide of what u could or what u should have in the back of ur mind. It should not be black and white tho (no pun) u have to improvise.
In my first few chess games against family members I just winged it and it worked at the time but as I played with more experienced players I wasn't getting better so I think this is helpful.
Thanks! Summary: If you are White, QP: Queen's Gambit or London System KP: King's Gambit, Ruy Lopez, or Fried Liver If you are Black: QP: Nimzo Indian or Slav KP: Sicilian, French, or Caro Kann
I've found an interest in Pawn to F4 Although not directly setting you up, It can de-clog that side of the board rather efficiently, and set up an interesting counter running slants. My usual opening for white is Pawn -> f4 Pawn -> g3 Kings knight -> c3/g3 if needed. And from there play around what your opponent does. The only risk is that of a firesale rush from Black queen, which pawn -> g3 stops long enough to castle or back door out.
Perfect. This is the first video of yours that I had seen, and I was really excited when you mentioned being an aggressive player because that's also my preferred style.
Hey Kevin my names Carson. I just want to say that your videos are extremely helpful and I hope the best for you in your life and future chess career. :)
Didn't see anyone else do it so... Slav defense 0:55 London system 1:38 Caro Kann 2:25 Fried Liver Attack 3:02 French Defense 4:08 Ruy Lopez 5:00 Nimzo-Indian Defense 5:47 Kings Gambit 6:34 Sicilian Defense 7:49 Queens Gambit 8:45
I've tried the King's Gambit before. I was board three for my college and after two weeks playing it I was demoted to board 4. Haha, I play Fried Liver Attack now. Love it.
I would definitely like to see some videos on aggressive openings, especially if there's a good aggressive reply for black to 1. d4. The Fried Liver Attack has been my favorite opening ever since watching your video on it. Won a lot of games with that one, usually very quickly if I run into someone who hasn't seen it before or doesn't know how to counter it properly. And it almost seems like cheating to just count The Sicilian as one opening. There are so many completely different variations to it.
Honestly, I think by them opening 1.d4, they're initiating for a more passive game (most of the time; with exceptions like the blackmar gambit) being on the back foot means you have to regain tempo before being aggressive. So the opening you're looking for is definitely the nimzo-indian. It's probably black's most solid, and most aggressive response at the mid to highly skilled range. (around 1500+) or at least in my experience.
Edward Seine yeah, d4 is definitely trying to initiate a passive game, which is exactly why I was looking for something that might take it the other way. Always good to at least have some options for forcing your opponent out of what they are comfortable with. I'll look into the ones you mentioned there(probably time for me to do some more serious study on openings in general anyway...)
SkyrimHod "yeah, d4 is definitely trying to initiate a passive game". That might literally be the dumbest thing I've ever seen in print, lol. You're obviously very weak and probably very young as well.
I dont know how good you are but... Benko Gambit is an agressive answer to d4, so is Alapins Counter Gambit (the soundness can be argued however :P ). Edit: Btw, its black that "choses" the Fried Liver Attack, so its actually not that good choise for an agressive player. Every other response to 5. exd5 will hand the initiative to black.
The Fried Liver attack is very easy to combat for black and can be checkmate if done right e.g 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4. Ng5 d5 5. exd5 Nd4 6. d6 Qxd6 7. Nxf7 Qc6 8. Nxh8 Qxg2 9. Rf1 Qe4+ 10. Be2 Nf3# is one of many counter attacks that would be successful for black
Brilliant video. I always played 'Queens Gambit' from an early age, way before the internet and videos like these even existed. Looks like I picked it up well from the start.
Wowww, I'm always amazed by players who mastered a lot of openings and patterns in chess, it's very hard to memorize all of them, but when you memorize them you can counter some openings and can also easily find some tricks and traps❤️❤️
My favourite is. When black, pawn to d6, knight to f6, and bishop to g4, if the white player moves their pawn to e4, and moves their queen after i move my knight to f6, it makes it fun.
i want to ask, is it really that necessary to know these openings? i mean if i know principles what i should (not) to do, these principles should guide me without my knowing to one of correct openings anyway, right? Please dont spellcheck me, im not native english speaker
I'm such an amateur that I've never even seen the first 2. Some of these really go over my head because the progression isn't what I would do or expect. Nice video though.
Here's my suggestion, and i am nothing compared to your skill level: Khan. most games that i have played going into Khan have ended up as drawn out, somewhat neutral, tactical late-game battles that ultimately elevated my understanding of positional play.
Chess960 means you can avoid all this opening theory study. However, you still need to know about controlling squares, tactics, middlegame and endgame, but 960 brings back a more creative element to e game that has becomes rather stale in my view.
My grandma taught me how to play chess when I was 9 I liked it but there were no people close to me who do even my grandma prefers playing cards so I only played online and vs AI,after watching the queens gambit I found out that some of the moves that I use are called openings
C2 is always being a weak point I prefer to launch my initial attack from that side , so if you move your monk to f5 then move your knight to C2 , you will get chance to force your opponent to make choice on discarding ether queen or castle if he didn’t realize your intentions before, but most new players cannot defend it well at the beginning of the game
Just a helpful tip I used for playing chess while in school or highschool clubs or tournaments, a sicilian defense is usually what I found to work to most, most dont really know how to play around an actual structured defense as most players around that age group dont know alot of strategy with chess.
I think for beginners you should play Ruy Lopez , Queens Gambit , The Sicilian defense and Kings Indian. I may not be correct but my thoughts on openings for beginners is that.
Please do video with an opener for white, then a defense against it. Also on opening lesson, show the ideal response and then the opposite extreme so we know to continue the opening or to change strategy. That would be a better way for me to understand but also HOW best to apply my openings better.
when white I usually play ruy lopez opening if im in the mood exactly the way it was played here and I always use the french defence as black when opp goes e4 (2600 rated player in chess.com and several other chess app/sites) but like he said the opening is all about preference and your knowledge of the opening...I honestly never play aggresive openings...your reading and positional judgment need to be on point to have a better mid-end game then your opponent to win the game
Video has good intent, but its hardly useful. You don't want to mug up the openings but know the idea behind each move - why a pawn is pushed and not the knight, etc. That would have been very useful. Hope to see something like that from you Sir! best wishes.
+Ajay Kumar He has seperate videos on every single one of these, mostly 10 mins + , going into detail. If he put them all into this, it wouldve been a 2 hour video
So most of them that ask you to make a video about the chess openings are beginners? Really bad idea for them. For all beginners out there, do not devote most of your time studying openings because you're working hard with small increase in playing strength a.k.a you're being inefficient. What you should study is Tactics and Strategy, as you become a better player faster than you would with studying openings. Well, most kibitzers out there in tournaments speaking of complicated-sounding openings were actually one of the easiest to beat. Go on with studying openings just after you've mastered strategy and tactics. Of course, not disagreeing with Kevin posting this video but well, watch this after mastering tactics and strategy.
Tactics and strategy for beginners? Really bad idea. You need to begin with the rules of the games and movement of the pieces. Teaching en passant to a beginner? Ludicrous! You need to begin by teaching them the simple moves first. (Hint: any player who can't recognize the basic chess openings is still a beginner, so this video is relevant, though not particularly informative)
The thing is, to get in a position where you can use tactics and strategy, you need your pieces to be in a decent position, and openings help a lot with that. In fact, before you can learn any of these things you should learn to observe the board properly and not leave your pieces hanging, because that's what beginners do the most.
Does anyone else just play these without knowing ur doing an actual opening
Any good chess player will play these without knowing it’s a “meta” opening. They are openings because they are the most logical moves

@@liamdickson90 add me on the chess time app
I was looking for this comment lol
you are great the chess website I want u to make videos on black openings and how to improve your calculation
Video has good intent, but its hardly useful. You don't want to mug up the openings but know the idea behind each move - why a pawn is pushed and not the knight, etc. That would have been very useful. Hope to see something like that from you Sir! best wishes.
+Ajay Kumar He has seperate videos on every single one of these, mostly 10 mins + , going into detail. If he put them all into this, it wouldve been a 2 hour video

6:44 I think that's a pawn. I get those confused too.
So most of them that ask you to make a video about the chess openings are beginners? Really bad idea for them. For all beginners out there, do not devote most of your time studying openings because you're working hard with small increase in playing strength a.k.a you're being inefficient. What you should study is Tactics and Strategy, as you become a better player faster than you would with studying openings. Well, most kibitzers out there in tournaments speaking of complicated-sounding openings were actually one of the easiest to beat. Go on with studying openings just after you've mastered strategy and tactics.
Of course, not disagreeing with Kevin posting this video but well, watch this after mastering tactics and strategy.
Tactics and strategy for beginners? Really bad idea. You need to begin with the rules of the games and movement of the pieces. Teaching en passant to a beginner? Ludicrous! You need to begin by teaching them the simple moves first.
(Hint: any player who can't recognize the basic chess openings is still a beginner, so this video is relevant, though not particularly informative)
Kevin Gray I defined beginners differently. Depends on you.
The thing is, to get in a position where you can use tactics and strategy, you need your pieces to be in a decent position, and openings help a lot with that. In fact, before you can learn any of these things you should learn to observe the board properly and not leave your pieces hanging, because that's what beginners do the most.
