What a great video, so much history and information packed into it and love the explanations Kostya made. Not that I’m at the level to play this opening yet but enjoyed it nonetheless. Would love to see similar videos covering openings in a concise format like this.

omfg - zach is the guy who uploaded all the videos for 1953?!?!!?! ive had that saved as a playlist for ages, i had no idea lol. great video @hellokostya! love the idea of understanding the middlegame transitions which really helps with making sense of the opening moves - it adds a lot of context. i wish i had a middlegame "browser" to find positions I like (I know i know, chessbase can find pawn structures and CERTAIN stuff - but i dont even know WHAT to look for; i kinda need to see it!) and then learn which openings are best at generating the positions I play best in - for me, I've found its often best to avoid engine moves beyond the first few book moves; the sooner I can take the game out-of-book, the better, and that almost ALWAYS means playing "suboptimal moves" - and its fine, im not a titled player, i can play better moves later to make up for it, and i think a lot of folks miss that - so they focus so much on the opening, and get blown off the board in the middlegame. and the endgame? whole other topic, but I know one thing - im fairly matched in the opening and middlegame, but if someone lets me get to an endgame, im rolling over them, its how i gain the majority of my rating points (the minority would be from opening prep, which is ironic, i just didnt study in the right order and learned endgames/openings first - so i end up being a tactics guy with crap strategy that cant string the opening into the middlegame in their head unless ive played it 50x.) omg that was long im sorry, hope feedback is helpful :| people learn in different ways but this seems pretty optimal for a larger audience; love the dojo!

Ngl, this is a goat video for KID. I was just thinking yesterday about how I play D4 as white but don’t have a response as black. I would just play the French defense setup no matter what opponents played lol. Thank you.

It's interesting how when I was your age, everybody loved the historical chess period of the 20's and 30's with giants like Alekhine and Capablanca. It's like whatever current generation there is looks back 3 or 4 for a Golden Era to be inspired from.

@@ChessDojo I know, was just kidding. That being said, I still don't get the appeal of playing the KID for us amateurs/improvers. Seems like such an impractical and difficult opening to play. Crazy amount of lines and many situations where you need to find a lot of 'only' moves in some crazy tactic to survive. If you don't you are doomed. Seems much more comfortable for white to play. But please convince me otherwise to try out this legendary opening.

Hey Kostya. No one can possibly argue with the approach of studying the greats to learn a particular opening. That's chess at its best of course. But... what about the amateur who will likely see loads of mistakes from his oppostion that would not be represented in GM games? In principle, a grounding in tactics _should_ allow an amateur to be able to take advantage of such opportunities, but is there a more direct and efficient way to learn about "typical amateur mistakes" in a specific opening?
@ChessDojo
@ChessDojo Жыл бұрын
Sure, looking at typical tactics in an opening is very helpful as well! I would say it should not replace the studying of master games, but rather supplement it, as both are useful 🙂
@CastroMKE
@CastroMKE Жыл бұрын
When you study the master games, think about why they played that move, make a random move for the opponent and then see if you can see a tactic or positional understanding. Then afterwards check with engine and see what was the original idea if the opponent just made any random move. That usually helps me understand what the idea was that the GM was trying to play. Then you start to see clearly when a low rated player (such as myself lol 1300) makes an innacuracy because you then understand the idea behind the GMs move. Hope this helps you out.

Does anyone write out their chess, one position per page? So after d4 Nf6, say, you write down White’s top ten responses, then your response. Each of those 10 gets a new page, with the next 10 moves and their responses. Previous moves are written at the top… White’s options and our responses are in the body of the page… etc Does this system have a name? Other than longhand, tedious, exhausting? 🤣🙏

Well, by move 6 you already have 1 million moves, so I would call it unrealistic 😂
@mcronrn
@mcronrn Жыл бұрын
@@TemphinFD ok maybe I shouldn’t have said 10. Most positions don’t have 10 useful options. The idea is to have a useful and useable guide to the opening. Playing the first 6-10 moves accurately can be tremendously helpful.
@Janto001
@Janto001 Жыл бұрын
This approach is very simplistic because in some positions there are only a FEW decent responses and in others…there’s remarkably complex theory like the Ruy Lopez or Najdorf where one simple variation can equal 100 pages of theory! This sounds like the STOYKO method of training to me. But that method uses a single position and you make a detailed variation tree recorded on a sheet of paper until you’ve exhausted all your mental abilities.
@mcronrn
@mcronrn Жыл бұрын
@@Janto001 This method is just writing the moves down, one page per position. Pages get staples, then paper clipped, then binder-clipped, then stacked, then the stacks get broken up as we get deeper into the lines. Each page acts as an index for what lays underneath. If there are long forcing lines with only one option, then that page only has one line. I just wondered if any one else did this…. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙏 it’s just a learning tool 👍🏽

Great educational content, could have leveraged @thechessnerd for more of a collaborative experience. You can be educational and market your channel at the same time. @thechessnerd is a great player having him more involved would have been more engaging for him and probably for the audience as well. That being said, great video.
