The Queen's Gambit: practical guide for beginners

[@mmsjejrinside385]

Nothing could’ve prepared me for that fake taxi line

[@craigbixel6789]

💀 😂

[@Jean-LucPicard-tv2oh]

😂

[@MisterPaladin]

I had to replay it I thought I misheard 😂

[@ClubAcademiadeAjedrezVinadelMa]

lol it was hilarious, i was like, is really saying that joke so serious?

[@anthonymort5202]

I was dead last night when I first heard it

[@Miguel-ug7rq]

Please do a speedrun of Queens Gambit showing how you would react to other lines like qga, benoni, grunfeld etc

[@talongodin2253]

I second this

[@patthepilot]

I third this

[@salemtv5808]

totally or better a chessable course

[@BB-wg3tw]

The longer time control was great! Allows us to hear a more full thought process into each phase of the game

[@xlkaudio]

QG is part of my main repertoire! Thank you so much for this Big Daddy Alex.

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

GG as well.

[@jonjones820]

My favorite KZbin creator, always super happy when you drop a new video, Alex.

[@klaus6178]

Best chess channel, the other chess channels don't play and show at the same time which is the best way to learn. They just go through a bunch of random scenarios while you explain what the point of the opening is showing a real example

[@NdyRoo]

Love how the first game went through a full endgame. Qc7 to stop the perpetual was a completely new idea. 1.d4 2.c4 is my main opening as white. I’d love to see more of these!

[@KeshavSingh-jy8he]

I'll be the happiest when your channel blows up and gets the recognition it deserves. Love from India 🇮🇳

[@saulescolar333]

Love this tipe of games. I also prefer the 10 mins games instead of 5, because you can explain your ideas deeper and try to be as precise as posible.

[@SteelerLemon0]

Please do more queen’s gambit videos! This video was amazing!

[@pramodkumarnarayanan9520]

Fake taxi 😂😂😂😂

[@ThaGlizzard]

Actually fucking hilarious

[@kevienarizky7628]

Wow. Thanks a lot Alex, I'm grateful for this vid. Another repertoire collection for white.

[@kevienarizky7628]

The problem with queen's gambit or any other gambit is we prepare repertoire that may or may not be happen. Coz we depend on the opponent take the gambit

[@Bolgenos42]

Thanks, Alex! Been waiting for it for a long time❤

[@rick2402]

This is the best formatted chess video ive seen. Love the live games and the variations playing on the side is chefs kiss

[@EstebanGonzalez-bu5wi]

Great upload king, always happy to watch your instructive stuff.

[@mannylokzzz]

Alright everybody, managed to get another Alex video, let’s see what he has in store with rapid time controls. I cracked 800 in rapid and blitz thanks to your videos, you will always command my undivided attention

[@nb-eq6rw]

Finally! Been waiting for a new QG Alex video! Great timing!

[@Mahhhdeee]

ty so much for mainly using the openings I use lol, goated presentations and you take your time speaking of each move the opponent makes. ty ty ty

[@Edouard7800]

it was really intersting to follow a slow game quite equal and see the conversion ! Definitely adding this to my repertory

[@mustafaadil4165]

now we are talking!! Alex please make up a follow video of Queen's Gambit

[@PawanKumar-cg1ym]

Loved your videos on Caro Kann. Hope to see more of Queen’s gambit.

[@user-db8jd2lc2e]

love your rating climbs playing jobava and caro kann they have been so helpful thank you!

[@melodid5023]

Omg my anxiety on that first game. 😅 Just found your channel and love your lessons. It helps me so much to get into the right mindset and to ask myself the right questions when playing. Thank you 😊

[@ericzenk4404]

This video has great chess tips.

[@JoeyTalksRecovery]

The Queen's gambit got me into openings, love that you're covering it

[@boxofcans461]

we voted for this

[@billma12345]

Mom, Alex just started teaching a new opening

[@humanrightsadvocate]

Banzea is the KING of chess analogies.

[@louisekezerle726]

I just discovered your channel and really learned a lot from this video. Keep it up!

[@xuankienta3246]

WOW FINALLY YOU PLAY MY REPERTOIRE btw my other main repertoire is jobava london xD

[@KancerKowboy]

When you played Qd4 my spider sense said something was fishy there. I'm not calling you out, just amazed I sensed that move was off, been watching many of your videos and starting to recognize some of these patterns. You are a great teacher.

[@pkuliga]

More of these please, it's great!

[@gregg3457]

Thank You for sharing your knowledge! When a teacher shares their own growth, every student is nourished.

[@monodroidv77]

Thank you so much ❤

[@imsep6725]

U are my favorite KZbinr i watched all of ur videos.❤❤

[@ruddro29]

2:20 🤣🤣 fake taxi line

[@victorcampeanu]

loved the Fake Taxi reference lol

[@Witchblade112]

Queen's Gambit, yay!

[@louiscypher6919]

Great, thank you and have a nice day, Alex!

[@yarakharam5343]

this channel is the gentleman's nr 1 choice

[@KillerKabel]

Going from dopamine fueled opening of Jobava to this is is like coming home from a nice vacation and going back to work 😂

[@KillerKabel]

That being said, if I were to defend humanity vs aliens I guess this opening is the way to go.

[@AlexBanzea]

Lol

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

Hey man, sometimes You must flaunt Your "superiority". Nice vid, thnx.@@AlexBanzea

[@iceyroo]

Do the Italian opening!

[@cookiemonster-nk3xb]

Another banger from Alex!

[@neeru7298]

Damn, the first endgame looked so hard to me. It really shows the difference between a master and common players

[@mokli7167]

Thank you very much! Quenns Gambit Variations would be very interesting and more about the Scotch Gambit too.

[@TimJapan]

You just prove your point, arguement is over, everybody is certainly not happy. You got a lot to learn about women Alex..

[@stuvius]

The first opponent put up one hell of a fight

[@Hassy171717]

I am very happy doing what weird Romainian dood tells me to do! Also like how this is so similar to the Karo... QG rating climb???

[@sliceserve234]

@2:11 the beginner trap in the QGA, not that it will help him much, but Black CAN save his rook with 6...Nc6 7.Qxc6+ Bd7

[@nikmih98]

That guy got some nerve explaining things while being only one second left to lose, and he still won that game. Fantastic👍🏻

[@feinfein4444]

the amount of sarcasm in this video is amazing xD

[@leonromer567]

Amazing video!! How is this free.. So vs d5 and Nf6 taking is even better cause after Nx we have e4? Whats the plan vs Kings Indian and c5/benoni stuff?

[@stevebanawitz]

I spend all this time and money on relationship therapy when all I truly needed was Alex to tell me the woman was just trying to play G5 on me this whole time. Thank you!

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Fascinating seeing QG games! I only play QG as black!

[@thetransferaccount4586]

i was stuck on 1200 forever but after watching your jobava, i am finally 1300

[@jefftaylor1186]

I love playing against the queens gambit with the Slav. I almost never lose and sometimes I win. depending on what white does, you can just play a london type structure but as black.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

I can see a resemblance between the QG and the Botvinnik-Carls. QG is an interesting opening from both sides.

[@AlexBanzea]

It’s mainly transposing to exchange tho

[@walterbrownstone8017]

@@AlexBanzea QG definitely good choice for a series of videos. I'm still going to be an e4 player but QG is a very interesting opening. Maybe I'll finally understand what the word positional means.

[@banzaiburger9589]

Another great lesson from “The Weird Romanian Guy”. 😂

[@mustafaadil4165]

now we are talking!! Alex please make up a follow video Queen's Gambit

[@jayeeduran7227]

King's Indian defense and KIA coach I've really missed ur recent video about kings indian opening

[@AlrosAvellana]

A man of culture I see

[@kamrankazmikazmi9243]

excellent keep going bro

[@boxofcans461]

nice video alex, we also need QGD from black side

[@debopamroy56]

MORE MORE MORE! Give us at least 69 videos on QG :D

[@hata6290]

btw alex, thank you for more 1500 elo content, its very helpful for me :)

[@marcheuer3610]

"Beth Harmon like..." Actually she only played the QG once, and her opponent replied with the Albin Counter Gambit. Maybe you can cover that variation at one point.

[@butchpouka]

wow i bought two courses and neither recommended the exchange what a waste i like this so much more specially that as a caro player i understand the plans of the middle game what a classic way to play i hope alex would consider a speed run for the qg or better a chessable course

[@respectable2540]

this or jobava london would you recommend? and how can i turn it into catalan if he doesnt capture?

[@AlexBanzea]

Personally I recommend jobava London. Catalan was 3.Nf3 followed by g3

[@howlingwolf317]

No need to beat yourself up over the endgame. Time pressure is always an issue when trying to be instructive and you still explained the proper technique after the game.

[@iainbozfelt]

Alex loves to take.....and talk. Hilarious man and good at chess!!

[@rahmizan87]

great video

[@theyugijoker5856]

Alex is here I am here I am Happy, algorithm is happy Thats a good day😂

[@ememade]

4:24 this is literally the jobava london without c pawn for white and e pawn for black lmao. Waiting for the King's Indian Defense video, my biggest weaknesses are facing d4, c4, Nf3

[@sliceserve234]

Alex can't help himself ;)

[@chrism3839]

99% win rate with an extra pawn... Currently has 2 extra pawns... hold my beer.

[@chessbrahh2068]

i enjoyed this video

[@neoxyyofc]

I am excited for more QG videos,

[@nickknight8065]

The weird Romanian guy has the most entertaining chess channel on KZbin. Killer chess mixed with porn jokes for the win! 👍

[@onii-chan2811]

Fake taxi line is crazy 😭

[@POWERUPE]

King's indian defense please!

[@frankvanbussel4226]

great stuff, i play this but switched to jobava cus of you. good stuff anyway. can you make a video of your games with levy?

[@SuperScopeRawks]

Kings Gambit: Queens pawn variation.

[@hjhjhjwh]

Are we heading towards a new speedrun series on queens gambit ...its coming

[@mkmasterthreesixfive]

Hello, casual 700 here, I cant believe the first video started queens gambit, then ended up literally being caro for black, london for white

[@sinsyder]

I would love to see the Sicilian (Dragon?) opening if you are taking recommendations.

[@MisterExon]

What do you think about Slavs defense? London and Caro are my go to but not sure what to play against a queens pawn opening. Slav seemed similar to Caro but what do I know :)

[@onii-chan2811]

Slav easier to play for us Caro players

[@sid5537]

You're way funnier than Gotham

[@fightclub571]

Whats the advantage of Queens Gambit over London?

[@NdyRoo]

More transpositions and often harder to equalize against. Downside (also maybe a benefit) is you have to learn many more pawn structures and openings, and you’ll play a lot of very different middlegames.

[@Jonathan-Princy]

Finally!!!

[@dillionaire5798]

Request for this but for Jobava

[@sgreplays7336]

On the slav, your queen infiltration could have been defended with his queen on d7 ?

[@AlexBanzea]

d5 pawn was hanging too

[@sgreplays7336]

Right... I shouldn't post (and play😅) so late

[@cecil9265]

crazyy

[@brandonleboon1102]

Will this be a series similar to the karo and Vienna openings?

[@Scrambledbrains3601]

You gotta do a kings gambit , if you consider the vienna gambit reasonable than the kings gambit is that but with Balls! Also F the F pawn .

[@ralphmoore9422]

At 40:10 he says the "Armenian guy told you to do so." Is he Armenian?
