The BEST Chess Opening For Under 1500 ELO

Daily dose of Alessia's accent😍

Alessia, I follow many chess KZbinrs, but recently I've been watching a lot of your videos. Your clear and quick explanations of the moves and tactics are outstanding. Your challenge, from x to x points in x days, is not only informative but also repeatable since the games and opponents constantly change. In short, your channel is the most informative chess KZbin channel for anyone looking to reach over 2,000 points. Fantastic work, keep it up!

[@soumitrakundu8033]

Wonderful video, covering many good responses for white and black in a summarized form!

[@pritpal3622]

More vids! Idk how you make learning openings so much more interesting than any other streamer lol. I tried watching some other streamer’s tournament and it was soooo much less interesting than when Alessia explains it.

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Veyr happy to hear this :)

[@vov.7397]

This was great! Definitely one I'll have to watch several times. The thing is, I knew a lot of the stuff talked about here, but it somehow clicks in my head better when Alessia explains it, and she goes fast! What was that one, central game, Danish gambit? I've been destroyed as black by that, but she makes it so clear how to continue. Really great, and I hope there's another part to this. Oh, and referencing Morphy? Love it. He may not have played perfect chess, but he played beautiful chess.

[@Alessia_Santeramo]

Very happy to hear this! Sure, you can watch it many times, this are the most important things that you need to remember Morphy is a legend.

[@davidmunar8453]

14:30, if they try to trade, you dont need to accept that trade, you just take the rook on a1, so I guess they have to move the king and lose the right to castle

[@MichaelClerk-xd6ft]

Alessia, this type of super instructive videos are great!!! More, please, more!

Thanks alessia ❤❤❤ waiting for part 2 to crush sicilian,french,carokann

I’m going to bookmark this video, Grazie Alessia!!

Prego

[@gr8wings]

Stunning lesson ! Thanks a lot !

[@efthorpe]

Sorry, Alessia. When White plays e4 on the first move as Black I play either c6 ( Caro ) or e6 ( French ). I find that when you play e5, you have to remember too many openings.

[@Maseguim]

Very good, Alessia, Thanks!!

[@nea_22]

You are my favourite chess youtuber, you explain things so well thank you

[@mikey3387]

Thank you for this. Great video

[@JS-ir7wh]

Thanks for another great video. At 19:40, the phrase you want it "brain fart." That's when you just get stupid for a second. A "brain freeze" is doing nothing, or eating an ice-cream too fast.

[@patrickdevlin8553]

Another great video as always

[@fintan9218]

I stopped trying to play any particular opening, and just develop pieces using fundamental rules trying to adapt it depending on what opponents play

[@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic3800]

For me personally I’ve kind of stalled out at 1200 and probably won’t progress any further unless I learn at least a couple openings

[@fintan9218]

@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic3800 yea that sounds right, I'm lower rated. That's when I plan to start trying to use specific openings.

[@SmartDumbNerdyCool]

Yo Alessia just smashed a 1270 chess960 player who is 1700 at rapid. Can't believe how weak they seem when viewing it with my new strategy. The problem is focusing pieces over spaces. I wish to keep my strategy secret, but I'm telling you anyway cause I like you, and maybe you could use it. I wanted to pose you a question: Why does Stockfish have to brute force it and learn every possible line when chess is ultimately an 8x8 grid, that could prob be broken down using some kind of mathematical point system? Considering the value of the pieces has already been established. By defining each square as either 'occupied' or 'empty', or 'protected' and 'unprotected'. But I feel like we can simplify the rules even further, because essentially a protected square = occupied, and an unprotected square = empty... by a factor of?

[@rabisonkunda8713]

I learnt Italian from Alessia and it made me reach 1000 ELO, but im failing to push higher than that. Hopefully i learn some new opening here again 😊

[@hermit-chessto]

Gracias. Muy Ilustrativo.

[@GignacioO]

:4:13 why not capture the rock with the queen?

[@blackpanthermcu1122]

I have been waiting for this video for over a month. 😊

[@ShreeRamFaujdar-gm3bj]

But how I'm gonna remember all this😭 I mean I know my knight is pinned by bishop and I know that if I move my knight I'll lose my queen....then I'll consider to think of a best move And then will move my knight losing my queen 😭😭 Why this happens to me I know not to make those moves and it just gets out of my head in a sec and blunders my pieces

[@alwysrite]

@2:27 not big boy center !!! Big Black Center !!!!!!!

[@nc1609]

I normally play the Ponziani or Scotch, since everyone knows the Italian Game

[@CrepRanAwayBrother]

That’s actually true

[@jatintiwari9669]

Ponziani is love bro❤

[@vetri_24]

04:11 I take the free Rook thankyou

[@damejones5939]

Only free if you don’t like your queens the bishop protects the rook

[@vetri_24]

Yeah yess, 😂 i somehow missed, that time i was just a beginner 1100 now i am 1500 🔥.

[@jaysonhanks647]

No it doesnt. ​@damejones5939

[@elkr79]

28:11 Nowadays, the most fellowers of Philidore defense play 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 , delaying e5, and they can go for Black Lion (which is uncomfortable and boring for white even if you are ELO 2200 playere, btw), Pirc or Modern, and it requires MORE knowledge than that trivial line which was presented...

[@yusefma112]

Alessia did not just call a bishop a pawn at 5:22

[@giora-shenitzer]

How can one remember all those moves ?

[@BenOz-xw5lr]

Ciao Alessia, mi spieghi perché il sistema di Londra è malvisto da molti scacchisti? :D

[@Calibrex_Gaming]

Not sure why I watch so much chess. I’ve never played it online and the last time I played live was 20+ years ago while in college for drinking games

[@fintan9218]

You should play online, tons of people of all skill level to play against. I only got into chess some months ago as adult, and I'm addicted.

Fried liver only works for less than half the opponents i play, and im 500. I do like it and develop in a way that im not too bad off if they protect against it. Its a little too well known unfortunately i think

[@dcstation74]

my brain is abaout to exploit! 🙆

[@elkr79]

One hint more: if you play chess actively less than a year, don't go deep into openings where both sides restrain from exchanges, because you will have to deal with positions where good knowledge of piece maneuvrability is a must. (And let me make a bold statement: if you play e4 e5 and go for Italian, once you make bishop exchanges, you are quickening a draw, therefore, Italian is the worst opening for beginners, although it provides the most spectacular traps which many low rated players enjoy. However, you will not pass ELO 1500, if you stay focused only on opening traps.)

[@yusefma112]

"I agree but honestly i don't care"

[@cklester]

So, then, step 1 as black is to force my opponent to play e4. Easy! :D

[@asera7med952]

Actually its a very advanced opening not as u think develop night and Bishop easy except if u are highly rated

[@asera7med952]

I do play rauy Lopez as white and sicilian as black but I am rated 1759

[@TillSwims]

So wrong. Even a lower rated player should start with a solid opening. Or just develop the pieces and go from there
