My low key dream would be to be in the chess hall of fame.

[@ELLIOT8209]

Man I just destroyed someone with this bishop scheme. Total destruction

[@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.

[@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

[@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)

[@hokiejoe17]

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

[@chesswebsite]

Haha exactly.

[@vinlandwest]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@yildirimeren1907]

This is some good stuff 👍

[@chesswebsite]

Thanks Eren

[@oleysland2979]

Its the game that makes it funny to play chess, crazy games

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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?

[@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.

[@tomastelensky-vlog8723]

4:16 omg why not just f3??? Winning the knight immediately instead of destroying your pawn structure

[@rahulsingharathun769]

This man is a legendary teacher ❤️

[@chesswebsite]

Thank you :)

[@sallysmith9733]

Litterally. I dis regarding that move. Black pawn moves to white Bishop. Takes out black pawn four. Queen meets to white Seven. Black pawn moves to White four takes out Queen. Small juice.

[@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?

[@daleleisenring4275]

Be7 stops the shenanigans. The vast majority of players nowdays try to pull you into the Fried Liver Attack. I know how to repel most of these whizbag unsound sacrifice openings. Im over 2000 and have played since age 5 in 1964. Look at what experts masters and IMs play. Solid openings . Ive had at least 100 opponents try that Italian game B+N attack. I know how to repel it, then I get the initiative because they will lose a tempo.

[@Jackdaniels19894]

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

[@chesswebsite]

Glad you are enjoying the videos. Always cool to see people getting into chess.

[@dirkdiggler9482]

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

[@stonemichaels1774]

I swear to Christ I must be playing with 2500 rated grand master undercover ninja warriors , because I watch all your videos and try your strategies and they never work. I get my ass handed to me by players with 100 points lower than me when I try these strategies. They never counter like you say they will. Fuckers mock me on chat and ask me what the hell kind of strategy was I using. I refer them to your page.

[@Kekochieanz]

why after Ne4 minute 4.15, white cant just play f3 so that king's side not exposed so much?

[@rogerpowell3565]

A great video spoilt by overdoing the irritating adverts , which are nothing more than a distraction. However, I love this channel despite my dislike of the adverts.

[@andersjonsson8403]

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

[@tomkinnally9656]

Why wouldn’t black sacrifice their bishop for the F7 pawn when pushed??

[@louiscaeiroramos8051]

Knight on F6 will never be played by an average good player. Black Queen will play F6.

[@alokedas4515]

One of mine favourite openings as white.

[@chesswebsite]

It's a good one for sure.

[@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.

[@kev1in]

could you time stamp the 3 different responses for black?

[@chesswebsite]

Yes great call. I have added that to the description. Thanks for reminding me. I meant to do it initially but forgot.

[@laurenaspreyart]

But how do you defend against these successfully as black?

[@alokedas4515]

I frequently use it mostly trying to execute the scholar's mate.

[@chesswebsite]

Yeah it's definitely good for that.

[@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

[@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 -

[@loulou2302]

When I do that, it's a blunder😕

[@shikharbaral8235]

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.

[@vunguyenanh38]

What if black play Queen f6 in 14:17

[@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.

[@alfiep7930]

I can't sign on your website because my virus software is blocking an embedded Trojan script ?

[@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.

Wow, an interesting opening

[@dylanandrejic4902]

Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAASE make a video on the Portuguese Opening? (Not the Scandinavian variation called the Portuguese Gambit. I’m talking about the actual opening: The one that goes like: 1.e4 e5 2.Bb5) If you made a video on the Portuguese opening and posted it on KZbin it would be the most concise and detailed analysis of the opening since I can only find like two or three videos online regarding the Portuguese opening.

[@douglaseLamb]

Great presentation. Thx 🙏🏻. ♾ d

[@Mike-mm4mx]

after p-e5, what if the black knight goes to g4?

[@ishnock]

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. I’m just a 1400-1500 rated player, but I just find the move way too offensive. Thanks for uploading knowledgeable chess videos.

[@chesswebsite]

Yeah it's definitely not for everyone. Glad you still found some value.

[@SpellingBeeC]

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

[@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.

[@kmarasin]

[@MrPatlijohn]

Whats the defence

[@fritzgw7094]

why not f3 on 5:25 ?

[@sockscav]

Haha I got 2 different chess ads on this video!

[@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!

[@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.

​@@chesswebsite Bro you show nearly no main lines. Why dont you show the c6-d5 idea against the Urusov? Why dont you show that you have a completely different opening after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4 exd4 4. Nf3 Nc6 5. e5 d5 (!) 6. Bb5 Ne4 ? Instead you show garbage lines like 5... Qe7 Why dont you say that the critical line after 1.e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3.Nc3 is Nxe4 ? Why dont you explain the ideas after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3. d3 Nf6 4. Nc3 ? I understand that you try to make opening videos for weaker players but that doesnt mean you can just ignore crucial lines.
