Chess Tips: The Final Nail in the Coffin for The Grob Opening!!

[@zak3744]

1:30 "Threatening to win this pawn, they have to play h3" I play the Grob a lot as white, and this isn't ever how I'd play it. The natural move to defend the g-pawn for me is not h3, it's g5! If you don't want to play g5 as soon as possible if black allows it, then it seems to me there's no point in playing the Grob start with. You might as well play a different opening. The only time I ever play h3 to defend g4 is in response to some hyper-aggressive line where black brings their queen out to g5 on move 2.

Guillaume N Thanks bro :)

[@benantony5904]

Great work...i also play grob occasionally to surprise opponents .Lines discussed here are absolutely true..cheers sir

[@mislavivkovic9996]

This is not Grob atack with h pawn you sac the pawn this is dubious opening but can be tricky in blitz

[@troy3456789]

I started to look at grob to play some dimwitted overconfident opponents, then realized I needed to learn to defend against it too. Thank you

[@beri4138]

I think the first system you showed is the smartest way to play against the grob. Not giving the opponent any tricks and turning it into a normal game in which you have a positional advantage.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Agreed 😉

[@MOLLOYALLOY]

Brilliant ideas. I normally play d5 then dxc4 lines which usually turn out well but I am tempted to try d5 then d4. 1,...e5 looks very strong too.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Andrew Pridding I just gave three serious top lines for black! Man, I used them vs GMs and they’ve worked so far perfectly fine for black! Good luck! 💪🏋🏻‍♂️

[@MOLLOYALLOY]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial It's really appreciated! My problem now is they all look good and I want to play all 3...

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Andrew Pridding play either 1...e5 or 1...d5, those two are the best and good!

[@romeylon4204]

great video. the e5 line is new to me and it looks fantastic!! thanks a lot❤

[@mmgc91]

¡Excelente!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Manuel :)

Thanks a lot master

[@bodie9546]

Very thorough analysis!

[@mcronrn]

Great stuff!!

[@Blebako]

Thank you man. My friend allways does the grob and i hate it I will try the counter on him. All the best.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Now, crush your friend 😉

[@lepileptikdufunk5509]

i have the impression much people will see a different way the grob opening now, the fashion of grob is finished :D ^^

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Hehe, fortunately 👍

[@1man1bike1road]

thanks for this video i think e5 is nice most go d5 so its a little more surprising i guess

[@sblaney66]

I've just come across the Grob for the first time online. Im trying the Pirc defence against it (I know that may seem strange) and the other player seems to be conforming to that. They're a higher level player than me though, so lets see how it goes.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Punish those who play that! Grob is bad for White 😉

[@sblaney66]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial I'm actually playing more of a Hippo defence than the Pirc, but anyway lets see what happens. :)

[@kramer174]

Hey Mio. I personalize really enjoy your streamed content with all the trash talking. Do you plan on doing any of this on the channel?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Hey man, thanks! Soon I will come back to Chessbrah and I will do there casual and relaxing streams with trash talking 😎

[@kramer174]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial great I can't wait :D

[@valnesko]

thanks for lecture . is it simliar respons for polish/sokolovski/orangutan b4 ?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Check out another video vs Orangutan opening!

[@michapawlak5710]

Very nice ideas, I like sacrifice my rook, Thank You for this.

[@francescocavicchi5763]

Ok you cover the Grob Gambit 1g4 2Bxg4 but what about 1g4 2h3?

[@drob281159]

I guess Mike Basman would have gone 1.g4 c5 2.Bg2 d5 3.h3 e5 4.c4.

[@mislavivkovic9996]

The 2.variation is better and you put knight on c3 too

[@jaylenlenear7850]

what do you suggest if someone goes. 1.g4/c5 2.e4 ?

[@milancvetkovic82]

Go Butcher :)
