10 Advanced Opening Tips I Wish I Knew Sooner

[@PranavGamingZone]

thanks for this video. after watching this video i finally reached 1900elo. i was suck at 2000elo from years

[@FutbolconAntoine]

😂🎉

[@alecchen9497]

Nice video! As an ~1550 player now, I can no longer find suitable materials like this easily. Thanks and please keep on!!

[@MisterCV_Chess]

That Lichess Opening Puzzle Is just what I exactly need. Thank you Jacksark you're a hero!

[@AM_-wg1hj]

I already knew these tips by myself because I have a ton of experience with openings, I totally agree with you and this is a great educational video. Sometimes I reinvent the wheel, but I never do it during games only in my studies and with the engine analysis, like for example I have some lines that have never been played before in the London, saving them for tournament OTB games (hopefully my future opponents don't read my comment 😂)

[@AlabiOlawale-j5o]

A very educative video, keep it up Jack!

[@fcolecumberri]

I am not sure about the decimal point stuff. Some of the lines I play today are lines that back in the stockfish 9/10 used to give small advantages but now with modern stockfish are not even top lines any more. I am not changing my lines based on a minimal engine fluctuation.

[@jex190]

Thanks for cranking out the videos recently Jack! Been taking notes and hope to cross 2000 soon.

[@TheSwagDawg]

I love your videos man! I always learn so much.

The arsenal delusion has turned into chess delusion now with that thumbnail mate. 💀😂

[@jacksarkisian]

shush bro i’m manifesting 2400

[@ShamH64]

Jack how ur rapid rating is way higher compared to ur blitz rating 😭

[@jacksarkisian]

i swear 90% of my Blitz losses are me getting flagged tbh 😭😭

[@eriksteffahn6172]

6:26 funny, I play this exact line with black. I go for 8...Ng4?, which is the only full on trick in my opening repertoire. Of course I generally don't like moves like this and I've looked at 8...d6 too, but the 70+% win rate speaks for itself.

[@irishrepub84]

yeah what the hell was that first scotch gambit? you have to show all the moves man

[@jacksarkisian]

its called the Haxo Gambit in the Scotch Gambit. the theory isn't really important though, just highlighting that if you closely follow theory you'll get deliberate advantages. but if you play systematic openings you don't get these same consistent opportunities.

[@Sayfounnn]

Google is free yk...

[@prplt]

the best is just to memorize the exact moves you need to play in every position

[@User-Oshdbwhsuhdbrbhs]

i saw jack's new video, i click it

[@mikayelgrigoryan9569]

at 8:49 Matrix code was altered

[@jacksarkisian]

😭😭 i always worry this happens without me noticing

[@AykhanChess13]

Lol

[@pqrkymc]

Hi Jack, great video! I was wondering, as someone who is approaching 2400 in rapid, do you see yourself moving to blitz soon? There must be so few players in the pool and so many cheaters at that level...

[@jacksarkisian]

probably not, i don't really like Blitz nor am i naturally fast. i'm trying to play more OTB which is what i'm investing most of my time into - i probably do more studying than i do playing games atm.

[@ChessEvaluation]

Hope this helps currently 1950+ being stuck here for quite time is hassle lol

[@SAFIGHTERChess-b7u]

Jack I miss watching you grind on rapid😭

[@ChessWithMouselip]

The who gambit? I could not catch the name of the positional gambit you mentioned around 11:00 minutes.

[@personwhoexists7689]

Did you forget to edit the retries out?

[@jacksarkisian]

do you have the timestamp? hahhha i’ve alrdy edited out 2 of them since the videos been up 😭😭

[@AykhanChess13]

14:04 wtf happened here

[@jacksarkisian]

noooo theres 2 of them in this video 😭😭😭 my stutter being exposed

[@BobChess]

Thank you sir

[@AykhanChess13]

10:40 blackmar diemar gambit is in this list right?

[@jacksarkisian]

generally this would be my rule of thumb with white: any gambit that is worse than -0.5 shouldn't be played with black: any gambit that is worse than +0.8 shouldn't be played of course its all up to you but those would be my recommendations. if you are going to go for something with a bad evaluation make sure its extremely niche so your opponent won't know the theory.

[@AykhanChess13]

@jacksarkisian thanks

[@stag6161]

Then you got the Stafford over here with +1.8 lol

[@tiberiusClark5362]

blackmar diemer gambit is -0.6

[@AykhanChess13]

@tiberiusClark5362 it is playable for me

[@itsopgaming368]

I didn't understanded name of positnoal gambit can any one tell me

[@jacksarkisian]

the Chepukaitis Gambit in the Trompowsky, super cool line

Bro lagged at 8:49

[@Nemtomi]

I know I'm only 1600, but I don't think not using openings of your own style against much higher-rated players is beneficial. In a way you hinder your own opening development by defaulting to simpler openings against them. The example you mentioned describes me perfectly: I play the Sicilian, and there is no way I would default to a Caro just because my opponent is let's say 2100. (Also, I don't think checking you opponent's rating is beneficial for most players, I for one usually only check before the end of my games when the oppoment might offer a draw or when I might get into a time scramble.) Otherwise great vid, I'm glad I found this channel!

I follow this principle in chess. -- Develop pieces to best places when opponent waste tempo . I mostly wins a pawn or a piece till Endgame come. My rapid chess rating is 1900 .

Checking miss & accuracies leads to boring and chess engine type of games. Check only for blunders & mistakes.

[@Alexandertygreat]

Pair your chsnnel with Alex B and zero reason any competent player shouldnt make 2000
