when black plays d5 it always messes me up I usually just take it and they hit me back with their queen. I then pull out the knight to threaten the queen and they usually retreat back to the original position. Is there good suggestion when they immediately pull out there d5 pawn.
@sean1ers I do exactly what you do. It's not bad. You're trading one of black's centre pawns for one of your flank pawns, which is a good deal. And then black loses a tempo retreating their queen. All in all it's looking better for white at that point.
now i use the english opening and dragon sicillian that you taught on here and im pretty good with them i like the drgon sicillian cause you said its razor sharp ad you cant mess up so that puts pressure on me to not mess up but i have a couple of times and im tellin you you wasnt lyin i lost both rooks and queen haha but thx for all your help
thx jrobi cause of you ive gotten better at chess when i first started off i was afraid to lose my pieces haha everytime i would lose my bishops, rooks, and knights, i would reverse the move gaining them back haha (playing against the computer that is) but since ive been looking at your vids you taught me to not be afriad to lose or even sacrifice pieces ive gotten pretty good now i still make little mistakes and sometimes not paying attention i hate that but hey im human
Good job on this. First for taking the time and for knowing the history of the games your showing, I am seeing that chess is like kung fu. There are many styles and one must find what works for them and master that style. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I do know if you can focus these help.
hes not saying that he knows these plays will be made but this opening has been used several times by many very good players and the most likely response is that and its proven to work and if your gonna say why is that gonna happen thats why their are so many different strategies to adapt....if your not gonna take the time to learn to play why are you watching these videos?
@runekenamy You don't. :) That's why class players shouldn't worry too much about openings but just learning to play better. Otherwise it's like you're driving on the highway when you only know how to ride a bike. <_<
@jrobichess Hello. I like your videos very much, you do a great job. I wonder if you could tell me you have a FIDE rating and at what websites or programs do you like to play chess. And what is your nickname in chess or real name and surname, if it is not a secret?
@Rybread34 Heh I had the same frustration at first. The book moves are that way because they've been worked out for both players as the most statistically sound through 20-25 moves or so. If your opponent deviates, then theoretically you've gained a slight advantage because the defense they've chosen is less than "ideal." Of course you have to be a good enough player to take advantage of that
Don't start learning chess through openings. Watch famous games. Youll learn more. Try Fischer v Byrne
i love chess i won a match playing this and i only learnt from this video thank you i won my school tournament came first and woon a huge silver plated trophy thank you i won a little won aswell and i met cj of the eggheads yay

I've been trying out the English opening recently and in the first game I played with it I worked my way into a bad position and I'm not sure exactly why. Can anyone take a look at my first 7 moves and tell me what you think I did wrong and perhaps what I should've done?
the english is a classic. playing it will definitely help you develop a better positional style. i would recommend checking out a bunch of carlsen's older games, he has made a living grinding people down w/ ir
That's not the queen's gambit if white attacked a black pawn on the second move with 1. d4 d5 2.c4 c6 it's the Slav but the moves weren't played in order.And The Queen's gambit declined is 2. ...e6

@88dragons88 knights jump pieces when they are capturing (or moving). This means the knights can basically go through any piece to get the square they are attacking.
Hey jrobi love your videos I've just started playing and your videos have been a great help and enjoyable to watch. One question about this video: is it accurate to say that the pair of pawns on each flank are their own separate islands? I guess it doesn't really matter though.
at 1.51 when black moves Bishop to B4. would this move make any sense? move pawn to A3, the Bishop moves to A5 (still pinning the knight, moving anywhere else would be counter productive), then B2 pawn to B4, Bishop retreats to B6, and C4 pawn to C5. now he lost his bishop. pls comment on the pros and cons of this move. thank you everyone.
Love the English! so many lines that can be potentially interesting. It's easier to learn than e4 and there are so many lines to choose from. You can get a positional game, a dynamic game, a slight advantage, anything!
I think people blame openings on whether they lose or not, but people seem to forget there is a middle and end game. Chances are you might have had a good opening and stuffed up the middle or end game. To me an opening is to help you get an advantage for the middle game, I see to many people saying this is the best opening or this is and they usually base it on how many times they won or lost with that opening. That's just my opinion anyway
@tjthegreat7 I agree. Studying openings is a misuse of time for players below expert level. I now can beat masters without ever having studied an opening, simply by understanding the dynamics of the game and proper piece movement. Of course at this level if I do get an opening disadvantage it can be devastating but at lower levels you get opportunities to recover.
@tjthegreat7 Thats true, but as black I constantly fail against the english opening, when I do much better with Queens gambit declined and Sicilian games
can u please send me a message on what website i should play chess on so i can use an engine? because i am trying to get better so i can make the high school chess team next year.
@necroman302 - There are no chess websites that will allow you to use an engine, as that's cheating. If you'd like to become better, send me a private message. I teach chess and have several students.
@necroman302 - There are many chess programs on the market and the one I can recommend to you is called, "Chessmaster - Grandmaster Edition". Any decent video game store should have it or be able to order it for you. It's only $20 and is an excellent chess program. However, playing against a computer isn't the best way to improve your chess game.

yes...you'll see me a lot more in here. You do spark good points, J Robi. And with a head THIS old and dusty cobwebs everywhere, I can always use a spark to get some good fire going.
Can someone please explain to me why Black moves the bishop in the second move? All that that move does is allow White to move their knight up the board and also attack the bishop at the same time, making the bishop move again and wasting a move. Wouldn't Black's King's Knight to F6 be a better move for Black, in that it develops a Knight and also stops White from placing their Knight on that square?
Chess is proof, that if you do (or make) something right. It will stand the test of time.
Readin' some of the comments about it is kind of fun, not to mention informative. Keep up the great videos jrobi, and keep with the great comments Fan Base.
@nnazareth1011 - I agree. Since I started playing the English Opening a lot, the typical response from my opponents has been to squirm, take a long time making moves, etc. As a result my chess rating has increased substantially. The English Opening is great! :)
@tatomuck18 - There is no one single best chess opening. The best opening is the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Everyone has their own style of play and using an opening that fits your styles of play the best, is the best opening to use. Games are not generally won or lost in the opening anyway, but in the middle game and end game, so the opening chosen is not so critically important.
@tatomuck18 - I've been playing chess professionally for many years and it would be my pleasure to help you out in selecting openings that match your style of play. What kind of style do you feel comfortable with? Do you like open games with pieces flying across the board in a grand struggle with your opponent, or are you a more conservative player that has a plays more carefully and methodically, slowing strangling the life out of your opponent with a boa constrictor around their neck? :)
Is there something I'm missing? I'm not being a hard-on about this (I never post on youtube). I'm honestly curious if that was a mistake or if there's something I'm not seeing.
@2500xxxx It depends, opening theory is always evolving, but if you get very comfortable with your opening, and someone tries something like a pet move, and you lose, check it with engine assistance and see if you can figure out how to exploit such a move in the future. Generally opening lines are based on the trial and error of top players over many decades, so you shouldn't have a problem studying various plans for the next time you face it.
@jrobichess - Hello JRobbi. You have done some very good work here on YouTube with our chess video''s. Hats off to you and thank you. I refer many of my friends to your channel here on YouTube and advice they subscribe to your channel to become better chess players. However, I noticed that on your channel, you only have 10 video's listed, where'as when I look at the video list to the right of this video, I count 24 of your video's. Why aren't all of your video's listed on your channel anymore?
I'm not an expert either but I believe it is to do with space issues, it traps in the knight on the queen side to some degree and can remove power from blacks bid at the centre. I don't know all variations of the English but these are the major reasons that come to me of the top of my head
Kind of need to learn this in case, in a simultaneous display at my school few days ago I was playing as White and pushed the pawn to my normal d4 opening without looking then realised I'd actually played c4, ruined a lot of play in my game because the opening is one of my stronger stages and I played an opening I didn't know. Thanks for posting this vid, at least I'll know what to do if I make the same mistake again.
@marstuber96 - c4 and then black responds b4? That's not a possible move. Do you mean black responding with b5? If so, that is known as the Jaenisch Gambit and is a tricky, yet effective opening. :)
@JohnQuincyAdams1 I know, I was being sarcastic. The G knight can't come out to G3. It can jump out sideways to H3, but not G3. The best move for white right at that point would be pawn to d5. Sets up a huge pawn island that screws over black's light-square bishop, and puts pressure on the c6 square, forcing blacks B Knight to flank out to the side, or to d7, which is a weak move.
you mean g knight can go to h3?

at 1.51 when black moves Bishop to B4. would this move make any sense? move pawn to A3, the Bishop moves to A5 (still pinning the knight, moving anywhere else would be counter productive), then B2 pawn to B4, Bishop retreats to B6, and C4 pawn to C5. now he lost his bishop. pls comment on the pros and cons of this move. thank you everyone.

Small mistake; at 4:00, you said the white knight can go to G3, which it can't, it can however, go to H3.

Can someone please explain to me why Black moves the bishop in the second move? All that that move does is allow White to move their knight up the board and also attack the bishop at the same time, making the bishop move again and wasting a move. Wouldn't Black's King's Knight to F6 be a better move for Black, in that it develops a Knight and also stops White from placing their Knight on that square?

I tend to do well with playing e3 and placing my g knight at e2 so i try a Petrosian system or just play d4 and hopeful remove my opponent's e pawn.

@nnazareth1011 - I agree. Since I started playing the English Opening a lot, the typical response from my opponents has been to squirm, take a long time making moves, etc. As a result my chess rating has increased substantially. The English Opening is great! :)

Whats the BEST opening in Chess? and why?
tatomuck18 1 year ago
@tatomuck18 - There is no one single best chess opening. The best opening is the one that you feel the most comfortable with. Everyone has their own style of play and using an opening that fits your styles of play the best, is the best opening to use. Games are not generally won or lost in the opening anyway, but in the middle game and end game, so the opening chosen is not so critically important.
JohnQuincyAdams1 1 year ago 2
@tatomuck18 - I've been playing chess professionally for many years and it would be my pleasure to help you out in selecting openings that match your style of play. What kind of style do you feel comfortable with? Do you like open games with pieces flying across the board in a grand struggle with your opponent, or are you a more conservative player that has a plays more carefully and methodically, slowing strangling the life out of your opponent with a boa constrictor around their neck? :)

'The g1 knight can move (from g1) to e2 AND g3'
How??
Is there something I'm missing? I'm not being a hard-on about this (I never post on youtube). I'm honestly curious if that was a mistake or if there's something I'm not seeing.

What if he moved not as listed here?
2500xxxx 1 year ago
@2500xxxx It depends, opening theory is always evolving, but if you get very comfortable with your opening, and someone tries something like a pet move, and you lose, check it with engine assistance and see if you can figure out how to exploit such a move in the future. Generally opening lines are based on the trial and error of top players over many decades, so you shouldn't have a problem studying various plans for the next time you face it.

I refer many of my friends to your channel here on YouTube and advice they subscribe to your channel to become better chess players. However, I noticed that on your channel, you only have 10 video's listed, where'as when I look at the video list to the right of this video, I count 24 of your video's. Why aren't all of your video's listed on your channel anymore?

I'm not an expert either but I believe it is to do with space issues, it traps in the knight on the queen side to some degree and can remove power from blacks bid at the centre. I don't know all variations of the English but these are the major reasons that come to me of the top of my head
praevenire 1 year ago
I know i'm not a pro but why doesn't black attack the knight with his c7 pawn in any of the variations?
MrTimmo55 1 year ago
Kind of need to learn this in case, in a simultaneous display at my school few days ago I was playing as White and pushed the pawn to my normal d4 opening without looking then realised I'd actually played c4, ruined a lot of play in my game because the opening is one of my stronger stages and I played an opening I didn't know. Thanks for posting this vid, at least I'll know what to do if I make the same mistake again.

what kind of opening the c4 and b4?
marstuber96 1 year ago
@marstuber96 - c4 and then black responds b4? That's not a possible move. Do you mean black responding with b5? If so, that is known as the Jaenisch Gambit and is a tricky, yet effective opening. :)
JohnQuincyAdams1 1 year ago
That's great.... calm, informative and very interesting.
ytrichardsenior 1 year ago
@JohnQuincyAdams1 I know, I was being sarcastic. The G knight can't come out to G3. It can jump out sideways to H3, but not G3. The best move for white right at that point would be pawn to d5. Sets up a huge pawn island that screws over black's light-square bishop, and puts pressure on the c6 square, forcing blacks B Knight to flank out to the side, or to d7, which is a weak move.
