Mastering Chess Openings

[demondragonrider1]

4:32 is where the action starts

[Red0Sky0Child]

9:06 Wow, look at those colors! Who would've thought!

[Red0Sky0Child]

7:48 Wait, temp-what?

[Singlelover14]

what if its:white pawn E4 black knight F6 or E6

[chelseafcman2]

at 08:19 why didn't white play Ba3 and Qe1#?



[Andrew12045]

@chelseafcman2 Because if white did that black would block the check with his knight and end up trading queens and this whole plan is ruined.

[HoLeeSchitt06]

@chelseafcman2 that will not be mated,,if Ba3,,then black response d6 blocking the bishop check and black survives..

[klevdav]

A waste

[babywano]

On Chess.com I spectate and write notes on how people in the 1700s play and if you read this you should do the same

[ct5010]

What about 9:20 hxg6 ?!

[sixfoursoul1]

This guy talks about nothing for 4 mins before moving!!! awwww

[sixfoursoul1]

Interesting -- but I doubt the a game will end up this way lol! black would whoop ass

[ZRwXProductions]

Because he didn't move his king, he blocked the check with another piece.

[Starcom23]

HOW DID U CASTLE WITH WHITES IF THERE WAS A CHECK BEFORE

FAKE

[MrMissedout]

@Starcom23 as long as you don't move your king or the rook you want to castle with you can still castle

[Starcom23]

@MrMissedout No dude: it was a check before so he cannot castle, simple as that, check the rules!!

"The king may not be in check, nor may the king pass through squares that are under attack by enemy pieces, nor move to a square where it is in check."

[Nachiket7771]

@Starcom23 you cannot evade a check using castling,

ie:

u cannot castle if your king is in check on the the move u want 2 castle

previous checks dont matter

[NornirishMJ]

Why are you wasting your life

[NewVahan2011]

A friend of mine is exactly this type of player and he's around 1900. But learning chess is really a waste of time if you don't have the talent.

[Nachiket7771]

@NewVahan2011 never give up ur will when u hit a wall,

u will end up making excuses.

[OrangeLumed11]

0.00 - 4.32 waste of time

[OzoneVenice]

This match reminds me of the way an real estate investor "ties up a property" without closing the deal, so it can get into another investment" without a full commitment, but not allowing the opposing seller sell to anyone else. Just like three key black pieces got tied up because of clever positioning or negotiation of white, allowing white to pursue the king, yet rendering black queen useless.

[lowlypeasant]

Excellent James Bond villain voice.

[iceman720]

@lowlypeasant he's got it down, theoretical is pronounced Tier-etical

[Monkeylawyer]

Skip to 4:30 unless you like douchiness

[FromMuToYou]

@Monkeylawyer

Listen to this lad.

[thezachattack014]

..... good concept...start strong & stay strong....

[Seabass70x7]

Hmmm, this move is only good as long as the opponent does VERY specific things, for instance this entire stratigey would be trounced by a simple Pd5 after white moves his bishop

[MrDerrrrrp]

I learned more in 11 minutes than 2 years of plying chess.

[SRMdrummer86]

You sound JUST like Josh Ruben...

[ZeldainPark]

I kind of suck at chess (around 1300) and I have trouble with guides like this because I don't see where I'm supposed to go if they don't make these exact moves.

[thezachattack014]

@ZeldainPark ODDS OF THE GAME UNFOLDING THE SAME WAY AGAIN ARE SMALL... UNLESS PLAYING A COMPUTER THAT MUST MAKE THE SAME MOVES AS IT DID BEFORE...ANOTHER PERSON WOULDNT FALL FOR THAT TWICE IF THEY ARE ANY GOOD AT ALL....GOTTA KNOW WHEN TO CUT YOUR LOSSES.....

[junzo65]

thankyou my co workers are dead meat!

[angeriod]

Wow that oppening is SOOO GOOD.

[tonykuz]

you breathe to much like after every sentence

[intermaniax1]

@tonykuz haha

[kikook222]

@tonykuz Think about what you said, and think about why it's completely retarded.

[DiceEsque]

@kikook222 hahaha. Some people ought not breathe at all eh?

[amrielan]

Thanks for sharing!

[koolaidking123]

love your lessons

[jplanejazz]

Fantastic video FM. This was incredibly useful. Thank you.

[Wisdombluetooth]

Much talking less action, all of the videos online is so, no one shows action, except this Russian guy who has short games..

[romanphoenix999]

@Wisdombluetooth try chess.com's youtube channel

[Gilsworth]

This wasn't very helpful. You should talk less about trivial stuff and just focus on the game, in which you didn't really explain anything.

[TheRexraptor62]

compecomcomplexity



[BraZerver]

my personal impression... 9:13 wouldn't it be better for D5 to be played? this allows a light bishop to join the play, strengthening white's defense... In that variation it took me quite a few more (4, although much trickier) moves to mate.

(ok, never mind. Playing 2 engines against eachother it was mate in 18 moves total, 2 less than with this var.)

Otherwise, what are better defenses for black and/or do you guys know of any good place to study these openings other than books?

[kingsoflimbs]

4 minutes and I still waiting for this guy to move a piece.......

[jdamage68]

Nice, but my rating is only 2035 on chess.com... So what do I know? But that is a tricky setup...

[forestah]

the way he says opening's is funny

[TragiicMagiic]

skip to 5:00 for the actual video and not a whole lot of garbage talk

[punkmanzz]

king safety !!!! thank you

[qkrcksals97]

How can you B so sure that the opponent is going to make that kind of moves?

[breakdancer100]

@qkrcksals97 any other moves will either gives positional advantage to a particular side or you loose a piece.

[spocek]

Great video.

[Shotornot]

But.. What if black plays 8....Bxc3? Than the knight covers the e-file protecting the e-file...

[ZucchiniMann]

@Shotornot

If 8....Bxc3 then 9.bxc3 opening lines for your bishop, but 9. ... d5! has the reputation of equalizing (9. ... Nxc3? 10.Qe1+ wins the knight)

That's the reason why you could try 9.d5 with white, continuing the attack

[Shotornot]

@ZucchiniMann Thanks! I tried figuring it out, but your explanation cleared it all up to me :)

[Shotornot]

Thank you! 

[dopilus]

Great post Man. Kudos.
