VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
This is part 1 of the video series on "How To Force d4 Players To Play the e4 Opening". The video is divided into two sections. In the first section, I have covered the main plans of our dynamic defense against White's first move, d4. And then in the second section, I challenged a random strong player on Lichess, just to demonstrate the power of my recommended defense against the Queen's pawn opening.

On one hand, the Classical Benoni cannot be mistaken for a K-pawn opening, the strategies are typically different and there are plenty of positional nuances that makes the Benoni very different than a K-pawn opening, even if the position is closed. But, for beginners and sometimes even for very advanced players, it can be helpful to play a position according to how you perceive the position. So, for example in this situation if you're a fairly accomplished double K-pawn player but somehow find yourself in a Benoni, then it can be useful to note similarities between the position on the board and what you know, and try to play according to what you're familiar with. The thing to understand though, is that when a position is fully locked and not just closed like many full/classical Benonis, the chances of a hidden combination is typically low most of the time. Both players should then concentrate on positional maneuvering and long range planning. In that way, it's less important what you call the opening and more important that you just play the position.

All these videos are very interesting. Unfortunately I do not get to play these when I play. Opponent moves are very different. Liked and Subscribed.

[@brit666]

Yes because in lower level no one knows theory. If you are rating is something above 1500 you should see these moves.

[@armandoibarra4451]

Excellent chess tutorial and analysis! "Push pawn and think later?" ha ha! I like that so much, coz thats what i usually do, push your piece and think later, esp when you only have less than a minute to play. well, you have a very good and interesting video post, no irritating background music, honest brilliant analysis and system, keep it up! and THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@kaspachessofficial]

I'm humbled! I get inspired by such wonderful comments. Thank you so much!🙏

[@basmeisters3]

Thanks for this video. I have been playing d4 for as long as I play chess, which is now 55 yeard. I have never had Nc6 as second move. So this sure is some obscure opening. But also: it sure looks good for black.

Your videos is very similar to openings that I love to study.

Great video,which is the best opening for a beginner to learn for the black and also for the white Thanks Bans🇨🇦

[@kaspachessofficial]

I recommend the Italian Opening with White, and the Two Knights with Black. I already have those videos on my channel. You can visit my channel.

same idea w/ GJ Chess, w/ some new twist for d4 opening.. Good video and new idea!

[@miramira1825]

Waiting for grob n king gambit....thanks kaspa

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

is it transposing into an e4 opening or a c4 opening? because I there are few c4 opening games that get to this or similar positions. I am interested to know more about it as it does have an element of surprise depending on the opponent's level

[@RaghavShetty-Chess]

Hello Brother in 10.27,instead of playing Bd3 ,white replies e5.what will be the black reply?

[@TwistedTeaFate]

Can you please pause when you're asking to subscribe. I can't tell what's going on when it covers the whole chess board during the moves

Noted with thanks 🙏. I wanted to be as quick as I could, not to waste your time since you already have an option to pause. Thanks otherwise 💟

No moves were made. We returned back to the same position immediately after. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Hey coach i just won my first game using this mexican defense! My opponent said in spanish that he is sort of unaware of the move 2...Nc6!

[@kaspachessofficial]

That's amazing 🤩

[@user-ig8qd4tt7b]

Well, what if white "experiments" with 4.dxe5 Nxe5 5.Nf3?

[@MahmudulHasan-zz4bf]

What should black play if White play e5 instead of Nc3

[@kowaiyan4391]

i love it

[@nicovanderwilt7502]

2:51 a3 kicks back the bishop and White has an easy middle and endgame.

[@alirezamahmoodi1942]

Thanks... but that was not a bishop sac.... the pawn was pined to the queen....

Sin’s this the Two Knights Tango. I’ve not heard it called the Mexican Defense.

[@kaspachessofficial]

In the same way the Ruy Lopez is also known as the Spanish Opening, the Mexican Defense is aka the Two Knights Tango. There are many openings that have more than one name.

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 Nc6 3.Nc3 e5 4.d5 Ne7 5.e4 Ng6 what do you play if White goes 6.a3 then the ...Bb4 plan is prevented and 6...Bc5 (6.... a5 7.Be3) walks into 7.b4 Bd4 8.Nge2 then ...if 8... Nxe4 9.Nxe4 Bxa1 10.h4 and even if the Bishop somehow escapes, Whites has big initiative.

[@user-ig8qd4tt7b]

Your line is rejected, because it is out of the scope of Hope Chess.

[@kenhoadley1798]

Eh? 6.a3 is an obvious move

[@lutzkonrad4778]

Hi Kaspachess, please give an answer, because this is a very unpleasant line for Black.

[@ChessDoctorsOrigins]

so 3. Nf3 and there goes everything... lol?

[@spirituelleOOinfo]

ok - since you made this video i always get oponents on lichess playing that nonsens..

[@alvarobastida1963]

What about 1. d4 Nf6; 2. Nf3 …?

Sorry, one criticism, the mouse moving about all the time put me off, so I couldn't watch much of the video. There were two other videos of yours that I have seen recently that were instructional and entertaining (no mouse cursor circling).

[@kaspachessofficial]

Thanks for your matured feedbback, I will surely work on my mouse moving technique next time.

@@kaspachessofficial Thank you. I enjoy watching your videos. It was just that I found the mouse movement distracting but that's just me :)

Moving the mouse around in circles is distracting. Otherwise a great lesson.

I will win with d4 because I am a master. This video fails to take into account individual strength.

[@eddiebrown3831]

Your moves are too fast I find. It difficult after watching it over , we are not all professionals , please slower.

[@kaspachessofficial]

Hi, thank you for your concern, but u know, people don't come to watch long videos on KZbin which is why I try to be as quick as I can. I suggest that you use the playback speed option on KZbin and slow it down to your liking 💟

[@ranlit7717]

So many problems with this whole idea… In order to not play into 1.d4, you are suggesting a transposition into a defense that is far from common & solid against 1.e4 in itself. Also, the transposition itself doesn’t even work: white most often does NOT push c4 against the Nimzowitsch Defense. There’s a huge difference here… if you think pushing c4 and not pushing c4 yields the same result, then it’s just like pretending the Pirc is the same as the KID, which is completely wrong.

[@anthonygenovese5338]

pure bs. If this worked , then everyone would have been using it for the last 50 years!

[@siegniteyt1096]

Try running this opening on stockfish playing against itself.

[@NawfalHasan]

Thanks captain obvious.. This comment makes no sense. Everyone knows chess is not solved. The spirit of videos like these is not to showcase irrefutable openings, which should be plain obvious.
