I love learning the openings from your voice thank you man it's been more than a decade ❤️

[@hokiejoe17]

Great, thanks Kevin, can't wait to face this for my next 150 games

[@chesswebsite]

Haha exactly.

[@thomasstephenson4043]

i love your channel so so much, it has helped me understand many openings and youve shown some fantastic games, my favorite being fischer petrosian matches. thank you so much for all your content over the years.

[@chesswebsite]

You are very welcome, Thomas. I appreciate the kind words and glad you've found enjoyment over the years watching the videos.

This man is a legendary teacher ❤️

[@chesswebsite]

Thank you :)

[@denisdooley1540]

My go-to Bullet opening when I play white. Thanks for a few extra tricks.

[@chesswebsite]

Nice. It's pretty basic but people forget about it and don't know how to play against it very well.

[@iplgeek]

Hey Kevin, if you include 0:00 in your timestamp list KZbin will automatically highlight on the timebar which variation you are showing, which will make it easy to follow. Great video as always! I’ve been trying to add a few more gambits to my gameplay just to have some more fun, and this one looks really promising. Anything that gives you early tempo on f7 is honestly just so lovely to see in action (like the Muzio)

[@thebishopchess]

the only thing that’s changed about this channel over the years is the improved microphone quality

[@chesswebsite]

haha the old videos had such poor microphone quality it's surprising people watched them. I'm glad they did though because it helped me to keep making more content and invest in better equipment.

I enjoy watching your chess video. I have watched your videos over and over because they are just amazing. I am a 1900 Plus rated player and improved a lot of chess tactics by watching your videos. Thank you, Kevin.

[@angoor101]

Fantastic stuff for an 1100 rated player like me. I’m ready to play Bobby Fischer now after watching your video. Well, may be not him but I can’t wait to put these lessons into practice in a real game. Thanks for the post.

[@ems3832]

Bobby died in 2008.

[@swampwiz]

Something I've noticed about this author is that he never goes over the option for Black that the engine says is the best. In this case, 4 ... Nc6 5. e5 d5. Of course White is going to have a good game if Black plays non-optimal moves!

[@lesterchua2677]

Yes. I was wondering why didn’t he go to the freeing move against all these “sneaky” openings. I remember from long ago that the freeing move D5 at the correct time always gives black the equalizer if not an outright advantage. Which is why all these white openings fell out of favour. D5 is key.

[@noahz]

Really would prefer a "Defending against Bishop's Opening." I would never play this, but it's definitely annoying to fend off.

[@chesswebsite]

Fair enough. I would go with Nc6 to defend against it and expect a more traditional game.

[@denisdooley1540]

Also from my Bullet experience, you know the opponent and you know what they want to do, go with a French D.

[@lentner3]

What about about Queen to f6

[@osychenko]

On 17:07 there's a better option to take the pawn Bf2 with check. Either way the White recaptures, the knight will capture the pawn with attack on the Queen or King. So when the dust settles, the material is approximately equal.

[@andersjonsson8403]

Thanks a lot Kevin, exactly what I looked for! 😀👍♟

[@van1976]

Year after year....Another awesome video..."Kevo", you always give a good presentation...nice speaking voice too...I like listening to you...yeah how did you not do this bishops opening before- haha -just kidding...thanks for all the tips...I need them.... 5 STARS! --Van

[@billetspin8326]

my all time favorite pick up line at bar close is "you ever hear of Kevin from the chess website?" most of them time they say "of course I have" and then I say "I want to practice a few openings on you." It never fails. You changed my life forever Kevin from the Chess Website.

If you have ever actually had this happen, this is the best thing I've ever heard.

[@AlgrianoFarouk]

How can you be so consistent ! U are a legend... (also can you do a black and white reprtoire for begginers ?)

[@clonetrooper71]

Yeah that would be nice....

[@Ryan-kb8ui]

Great idea

[@TechSupportDave]

I'd definitely watch it. I'm currently figuring out what openings would be best for me to learn properly. I have a long list of 50 or so openings which are good for beginners according to grandmasters and the chess community so the more people show which openings are good for beginners the better for me.

[@michaeldempsey594]

Time stamps would be awesome!! Thanks for the content

[@SpellingBeeC]

this is the best chess channel better than agadmator at teaching basic chess

[@Zywl]

2:10 I've seen lots of players move the knight to e4 instead, I believe this is not a good move but I don't see white's counterattack to this, what would you reccomend?

[@Zywl]

Queen to e2 maybe?

[@gregcrawford1372]

Thanks, very interesting, I'm enlightened, will try it!

[@eddieduecker4963]

I will start playing this opening, tomorrow. Thank's..😁

[@donh9673]

Nice video! I've watched it a lot: Question: at 11:40, what if black's bishop takes pawn at f2? This forces white K x f2. Is this still worth while for White? Thanks -

[@MartensSask]

Love your videos, esp. this one! What is the best response if black plays Qf6?

[@iand8255]

Yes, to be followed by d5. This looks strong.

[@MartensSask]

Actually, I meant what if black played Qf6 on move 2? What lines are best then, Kevin?

[@Jackdaniels19894]

I’m new to chess and you help me so much so thanks

[@michaelalexandro596]

This is the most recent opening I'd play for the last a week maybe and this vid teach me how to do a move that i dont even know. I mean, more opening variation and how to counter it. Keep it up sir, thank you very much and here's my thumbs up 👍 btw what's this move called?

[@miguelmedinapaz3039]

Thanks for this good and instructive video !

[@chesswebsite]

You are welcome!

[@rickberglund2134]

18:14 Is that a legal move? Can black castle while it’s rook is under attack..?

[@jerrymeek2436]

yes.. as long as the KING is not under attack, and the King will not "pass through" check... The king can not castle out of, or through check.. the Rook, does not matter.

[@fritzgw7094]

why not f3 on 5:25 ?

[@akeffo]

No matter how many of these vids I watch, I never get better.

[@andrewmays3988]

Focus on the basic principles of the game and stick with the same opening until you have mastered the first 10 moves of that opening and the various responses black can make. I highly recommend you purchasing and studying CHESS OPENINGS FOR DUMMIES by James Eade. Next to the Bible, it is the best book I have ever owned 😇

[@akeffo]

@@andrewmays3988 thank you for the advice. The problem is that I did not begin playing at an early age. Plus, I believe some people just are better at complex problems. You have to be able to see. I don’t see. Still Playing chess is a part of my life that I enjoy.

[@哈哈哈-w4c]

8:23 what if he takes on g3 with the knight

[@rantnhnaketon]

Probably because Qf3+ and then fxg3

[@哈哈哈-w4c]

Got it thanks

[@onlimi616]

17:36 I don't understand here why you didn't just capture the black pawn with your bishop like you did before Bc4 -> d5. The bishop is still protected from the black queen by the pawn on e4. You review all of the possible moves except this one which seemed the most obvious to me, especially since you said that was the best move prior. Am I missing something?

[@TechSupportDave]

well his other bishop would be hanging if opponent moved their knight. you can always just put it into the engine to see the best moves. there are many possibilities and the nobody has the time to cover them all. it's all pretty accessible on the internet already so if you're not happy with a certain line and feel like there is something better, as long as the engine approves you're good to go.

[@soumyabikashghosh4254]

15:26 what if black paly Qe7 in this position

[@dirkdiggler9482]

4:16 "really, the only logical move would be pawn to f4"...really?? What's wrong with f3, pinning the pawn?

What if black play Queen f6 in 14:17

[@Ryan-kb8ui]

This is interesting because Hikaru just did a video "Your brain on the Ursov Gambit", which prompted me to look at your video on the Ursov... 🤔 Is this coincidence or has there been some kind of new discovery with the Ursov gambit?

[@chesswebsite]

Not sure. I did my Urusov Gambit video a long time ago and not aware of any new discoveries. It's definitely one I enjoy playing.

[@marino4691]

20:00 why does black not just castle at that point? that unpins the knight

[@highlightning6693]

Random question from a n00b: is it bad play to check the king in the beginning in order to prevent them from castling? I feel like more experienced players will not be too concerned about this. ha ha

[@onlimi616]

I think it's a little difficult to check the king in the beginning such that the only move your opponent has is to move their king. Usually in the beginning your opponent can just protect the king from your check with one of his other pieces. But if you are clever enough to set up a situation where your opponent's only logical move is to move the king, then by all means do so and kudos to you! I would say that is very good play!

[@foadmirkarimi9994]

Nice thanks

[@chesswebsite]

You are welcome.

[@kev1in]

great video, but you never show the line b knight or b bishop takes f2 - isn't that super problematic?

[@chesswebsite]

I don't think so. After the King takes black really doesn't have enough attacking pieces to keep up the attack.

This is too aggressive to me. There is just too much openness in front of white’s king, and no competent chess player is going to allow white to just push forward with such an aggressive move.
