Some guy did the Damiano Defense (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6) so I laid a trap (3. Nxe5) that fool fell for it (3...fxe5) so I checked him (4. Qh5+) he went (4...g6) exposing his rook so I checked again (5. Qxe5+) and then he's like let's trade queens fool (5...Qe7) and I'm like no thanks vato (6. Qxh8) then 6...Nf6 7. Nc3 Nc6 8. d3 d6 9. Bg5 Qg7 10. Qxg7 Bxg7 11. Nb5 Kd8 12. a3 a6 13. Nc3 h6 14. Bxf6 Bxf6 15. Be2 Nd4 16. O-O-O Be3 17. h3 c5 18. Bg4 Ba2 19. Nxa2 Ne2+ 20. Bxe2 and then that fool quit ay.

perhaps there could be a feature for users to comment on the entries? This would allow members to contribute and perhaps posts could be promoted to the main text

[ddavyCn]

Great feature, I wanted a resource that supplied information about the plans involved in various openings, and most sites and programs only give a nameless book line.

I downloaded Brutal Chess Freeware and I like to play the rather unusual sicilian line 1.e4 - 2.c5 - 3.c4 - 4.e6 - 5.f5 - 6.Nf6 - 7.e5 - 8.Ne4 - 9.Nc3 - 10.Nc3 - 11.d2xc3 (which leads to a doublepawn and a free queen file) - 12.Be7 - 13.a3 - 14.Nc6 - 15.b4 - 16.xb4 - 17.d3xc4 (to get rid of the DP) - 18.a4 - 19.b5 (forcing the Knight to retreat) - 20.Nb8 - 21.a4 - aso. The goal is to build an occasional castle on white's Queenside and force black not to develop his pieces and castle kingside.

[ChatysChess]

Thanks!



[chessplayer79]

I apologize, kingscrusher. You did mention 1 ... e5( I guess I should have watched the entire video before I commented)

[chessplayer79]

You failed to even mention the most classic reply to 1 e4 which is 1 ...e5( huge oversight)! Other than that, nice overview

[xEric1993]

does anyone know the name of the website??

[SuperDreamliner787]

Where is the Petrov Defence?

[binarygina]

KGA KGD SCOTCH AND SCOTCH GAMBIT!

[SHYviol3t]

Hey Kingcrusher,

i was just wondering why in the sicilian when knight captures d4 after the exchange on d4, pushing e5 by black would be a bad move. The knight wil be forced to move 3 times when it lands on b4, then knight to f3 by black is followed by knight to c3 by white, and black bishop to b4 pinning the night, it appears as if black has tempo and better center control?

[MrLdh77]

@SHYviol3t e5 is a main line played against Be2 and Be3 normally e6 is played against Bc4 and Bg5

[singaporecaidi]

sicilian opening please tell me more

[mattfca]

I've always been interested in the sicilian lines involving Bc4. that seems to be an often overlooked response.

[dcschess05]

Where can I find this wiki mate? Thanks for making these entertaining movies!

[Chewy427]

"f5 is just rubbish you shouldn't ever play it but it's called the Fred."

lol that was funny xD

[Deathtof7]

I'd really like to see some responses to 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4

A lot of attacking ideas are in this opening. In the two knights defense there are some really tricky lines as well.

[TheChessvids]

I feel so sorry for anyone named Fred! I'd like to see a video on the Elephant Gambit. Thanks KC!

[SpongeInPyjama]

what's the name of the website?

i wanna check this out!

[MBproFan]

D4 could be intresting

[illnatured55]

Sicilian Question:

After 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 the move 3. Bc4 is not present in any opening book. I presume this is because it is a mistake and exploitable. If so, what are ways to exploit that move?

Tnx

[TruSp0t]

interesting...

[reaganpinto]

3:22 was really hilarious..! Please can we have some more of those in your future videos.

[digitalhero08]

i`d live to know which site of program this is. thanks

[Omeeeeed]

Nice

[xeaglex12]

you forgot damiano defense 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 petroff defense 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6

and the

tarrasch french 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2

[pikmen12321]

maybe he forgot the damiano defense because it is crap, you can just sac the knight for the e5 pawn and have a good game after ...fxe5 Qh5

[chamon24]

@pikmen12321 ive heard people say that after fxe5, qh5, it is inevitable black will be checkmated in the next "few moves" and yet ive NEVER been able to checkmate black "in the next few moves" after they've played the Damiano, even after running it through a computer. (unless that player has made a serious mistake)

[MrXurmomX]

heres how

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f6 3. Nxe5 should be good 3.... Qe7

4. Nf3 Qxe5 Qe7 white should be very comfortable

at 3. ...if fxe5 4. Qh5+ inevitable mate by white or mass amount of material up

[chamon24]

@MrXurmomX thanks for the reply i agree black could lose material but until someone can show me how i really don't see the "inevitable checkmate" i.e. where there is NOTHING black can do to stop it. like you said all black has to do is Qe7 - and then black will lose a rook or more... but he wont be checkmated.

[MrXurmomX]

Well, in my analysis I didn't use computer engines or anything cuz i based it upon my own experiences playing as white against the defence. Sometimes i mate them after they accept the knight sac with Qh5 but my play isn't perfect :P so if white has best play it could be inevitable mate. But even without perfect play after Qh5 they're practically done.

for black, Qe7 is ok but its advantage for white after Qe2, Qxe2, Bx2 because of development but watch out for c2 pawn because black can play Bb5

[MrXurmomX]

actually black has Qe7 but its still pleasant for white after

[Aartsaap]

yeah what program is that?

[DamnControl2]

What site is that Crusher?

[adrenalin007]

Awsome vid, very helpful

Can you go more into the King's Pawn Game, and the Two knight defense, maybe even touching on the Fried liver attack.

Thanks - Daniel

[ambe9oo2]

Go for a d4 openings video, I think that you do a great job !

[chomponthis2005]

Interesting video.

I was wondering if you could please post an URL to that website or program you're using. It looks very useful, you name Wiki, but I wasn't be able to find it myself.

Thanks, cheers Tom

[HomeSanitarium]

very nice

this should help my class a lot

thanks

[hamerjohn]

I play a lot of the Caro kann defence. Any pointer to watch out for? John

[kryshnatz]

great vid. could you do something about the kalashnikov-variation of the sicilian defence, the caro-kann and the skandivian?..cause i play the last two by myself and i am considering the kalashnikov too...so...thanks for this, awesome.... cya

[jj32768]

Any videos on the Sicilian, French or Caro-Kann would be awesome. In particular the Schevenigen (sp.?) and Najdorf variations of the Sicilian would be great.

[Majnu2006]

Very clear overview kingscrusher. What software did you use? It looks nice.
