Booyah. That's awesome to hear.

[@SixLeafCloverOFire]

This is kind of a strange question. But I have been studying chess for about 2-3 weeks now because I want to get good at it (I've always known how to play and everything). How do I deal with somebody who doesn't know anything about openings but are really smart? For example, my dad knows how to play chess, and I played a game with him. The thing is, though, I couldn't go to any of the openings that I knew because he made a lot of very strange opening moves, such as getting the rook out early game. I didn't know how to deal with it because I didn't know how to defend against something I hadn't seen before, so I lost. What should I do in those situations?

[@SimicFishCrab]

When you play against players who don't know many openings but just a make ok moves, then all you need to do is follow your basic opening rules and use tactics.

[@SixLeafCloverOFire]

SimicFishCrab Oh okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

[@CurbUrEnthusiazm]

People who play rooks in the beginning will lose them very easily, same with the queen. Rooks and the queen are meant for middle to end game, not opening. Rooks are not scary in the beginning because although they can move as far as they want horizontally and vertically, they will get trapped very easily. Don't be scared by someone who brings their rooks out early, they will fall. Also, just know that it's okay to sacrifice pieces if it means you'll put your opponent in a bad spot and/or gain a valuable potential trap situation for your opponent.

[@NateLanza]

+SixLeafCloverOFire Just focus on controlling the center. Develop your pieces faster and get good center control. You'll find that with your pieces developed better than his and having center control, he won't be able to attack you well without center control and you can send some potent attacks against his undeveloped pieces.

[@murdockqotsa]

Play more games. Studying is obviously important. But you'll never learn every possible reaction, so you really will never get good unless you play a lot and build an intuition.

[@CitronMandX]

At 2:15 (after 1.d4 d5 2. c4 dxc4 3. e3 b5), instead of 4. a4, 4. Qf3 wins a piece since the black rook at a8 cannot be defended without loss of material (the best defense is e.g. 4... Bb7 5. Qxb7 Nd7).

The best line I like to play as black, if I am playing a player that is unaware of the trap in Queens Gamit declined is the Cambridge Springs defense, I have even caught out quite good players, that is instead of N to c6, N to d7, at first sight, white is winning a pawn, if you have never seen it study the position and see if you can spot black's trap.

[@roikingon6019]

I was practicing this after watching the video & I found a huge weakness if white moves their Q to a3 to check. Respond by bishop d7, Q backs off to c2, Knight to c6, Q threatens knight c3, bishop f4 -- from there you have a guaranteed checkmate after knight checks king / takes queen.

Why did you only cover one of the ways black can try to defend? No one can play the queens gambit if they don't know what to do if black plays a move like Be6 to defend the pawn or a6 after b5 to protect the pawn. Today I played someone who defended the pawn with Qd5. I had no clue how to get the pawn back and I was hoping in one of the few videos on KZbin about the queens gambit that I would find a response to such a dubious looking move, but half of them don't even cover more than one or two ways, like how this one only covered one way. Qd5 is why I am afraid to play the queens gambit against the same person. I can't play e4 against them because they get out of theory as soon as they possible can when I play e4. Like for example a game went 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Qf6. It was only the third move and he played something completely random so I wouldn't be able to use my huge advantage in opening theory against him. He is much better at calculating than I am and I am stumped.

oh my god yes I have no idea what to do against qd5

[@lorenzofiorini9471]

cashinowt Just play queen a4 if you played e3 after he accepted the gambit

[@48tho-averysalak39]

if d4 d5 c4 dxc4 (queens gambit accepted) and white plays e3 I'm assuming because of Queen D5 then just play nf3 a developing move, if black plays b5 to help defend the pawn on c4 then play be2. black can follow up a different amount of ways - if d4 d5 c4 dxc4 e3 Qd5 then nf3 then following lines may include - if black plays b5 then play Be2, black move 5. if nc6 then nc3 and white wins a pawn, if be6 then you can play moves like a4 moving the night to e5 and playing the light squared bishop from e2 and then to f3 hitting the rook etc there is many different lines but don't be afraid to open an opening book or go to sites like "best chess move" which gives you an overall best move or using other engines ! hope it helps

+Avery Salak I already figured this out a couple months ago but thanks anyway lol.

[@48tho-averysalak39]

Phoenix well maybe it will help the other guy lol

[@dookdawg214]

If black pawn takes on C4, then why wouldn't white move queen to A4 to check black's king? Black would be forced into "wasting" a move to cover up his king, and then you just slide over and grab the pawn. Isn't that more efficient than waiting and hoping you get it later?

[@ronandobuenaobrajolo6713]

whos here because of Netflix' the queens gambit?

[@haleyw.5260]

YESSS I LOVE THAT SHOWWWWW

[@marcosc9130]

Partially, netflix led to me youtube channels that led me to Champions Chess Tour, and from there it went downhill since I found the names of plays very fancy and really wanted to learn what was happening in the game, I've playe Chess casually and had no idea the game had "metagame" and book positions, always thought it was about being smart and improvising, not being a walking book like those GM's. And as of this moment not many channels actually explain Queen's Gambit in depth, it's always London or Caro Kann.

D-5 pawn is Free before moving the knight to B-4, so I would've took the pawn as black and I control center

I just got back into the game after some peoe at worked asked me to play them on chess dot com and avoided this opening because I thought everyone would have killed it after the Netflix show but actually enjoying it so far! Thanks chess community for not rinsing an idea like fans for anything else does

Kingscrusher showed a game between two chess engines, Jonny 6 and Stockfish, where Jonny 6 accepted the gambit and tried to hold onto the pawn, and that pawn actually made it all the way to the end of the board and promoted.

You say the weakness for black is he’s closed in his bishop.. but we’ve done the same thing.. so what’s the big deal?
