Thank you sensei. Fried liver attack is the only variation I know with white from the italian game, and traxler counter gambit for black. I'll be sure to review this opening and add it to my arsenal. Subbed!

Thanks for the sub! Best of luck in your future games. 👍

Consider the Evan’s Gambit as well. It’s very open and tactical, and often ends up with a completely dominant centre. Without a doubt my favourite opening atm

I might try it but my win rate is so high with the Evans Gambit already so I’d be tempted to just go 4.b4 always no matter what instead of 4.O-O 5.d4

I don't understand what you mean at 5:34 For me, if the knight moves to E7 then the pawns and the bishop are still safe and the king is no longer in danger

[@cerievans4099]

Back in the 1960's, I used to play the line up to 4. O-O, then play the Evans Gambit against 4... d6 and d4 against 4... Nf6. I recall that I was 100% in both lines.

[@joaothomazini]

That only works if your opponent agrees to play the right moves...

[@Jeffaroow]

at 8:28 you missed a winning move, when black plays rd8 instead of white responding with qxa7 white can play Nf6+ black has to play qxf6 and white then wins the queen with qxf6

[@ChessSensei]

Yes which is why I said in the video "More importantly our Queen on d4 also supports Nf6+..."

[@markandrewpolidario392]

I'm curious with pawn capture at 3:05 is it legal to capture that way?

[@ChessSensei]

Yes, it is called "en passant." In chess, if a pawn moves two squares forward from its starting position and lands next to an opponent's pawn, the opponent can capture it as if it had only moved one square forward. This unique rule prevents pawns from escaping capture after making a double move. Explanation from Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant): In chess, en passant (French: [ɑ̃ pasɑ̃], lit. "in passing") describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance.[2][3] The capturing pawn moves to the square that the enemy pawn passed over, as if the enemy pawn had advanced only one square. The rule ensures that a pawn cannot use its two-square move to safely skip past an enemy pawn. Capturing en passant is permitted only on the turn immediately after the two-square advance; it cannot be done on a later turn.[4] The capturing move is sometimes notated by appending the abbreviation e.p. Rules The conditions for a pawn to capture an enemy pawn en passant are as follows: 1. the enemy pawn advanced two squares on the previous turn; 2. the capturing pawn attacks the square that the enemy pawn passed over. If these conditions are met, the capturing pawn can move diagonally forward to the square that the enemy pawn passed, capturing the enemy pawn as if it had moved only one square. If the right to capture en passant is not exercised immediately, it is subsequently lost. Making the capture is optional, unless there is no other legal move.

"Highest win rate" -- on Lichess, for the Lichess databse. A better way to assess the merits of this opening is to switch over to the master's database, where we see a 21% win rate for white.

[@AliKhan-sg2uv]

In rhe first response you showed to us I saw a better move for black which completely trapped the queen of white and should've allowed black to win it

[@justinkauffman731]

30 years ago this opening was ridiculed as archaic and not to be used beyond club play or even park play. So we had a few decades of 3.Bb5 and Ruy Lopez. Beauty of chess is it is always changing. Even though Elon Musk considers it too easy and finite for his intellect.

[@RyanLLeBlanc]

Musk’s criticisms of chess don’t make sense though. If he had first mastered chess then given them, that would be noteworthy; but he didn’t. He simply gave his preferences for games that included more variables and unknowns. That’s different than saying chess is “too easy”. Chess rules are easy. Chess is incredibly hard because your opponent gets a vote. You aren’t playing against the game. You are playing the opponent. Musk seems to lose sight of this.

Which color moved first in the game on the thumbnail?

[@Mocciajr]

In the knight takes variation, what if black doesnt castle and instead moves queen E7?

[@ChessSensei]

Good question! The engine suggests that there are 2 ways for White to continue after Black's move 6... Qe7. Firstly, White could go for the more forcing variation with 7. Bxf7+ Kf8 and now White needs to know a short series of moves that is the only way to gain an advantage: 8. Nd3 Kxf7 9. e5 and now it doesn't really matter where the Black's Knight on f6 goes, White would continue with Nxc5 and Be3 winning back the piece. Secondly, White could play more safely retreating the Knight to d3: 7. Nd3 d6 8. Nxc5 gaining the bishop pair and Stockfish on a high depth says this is around +0.9 advantage for White.

[@surya375400501]

Which move is better e4 or d4 can you explain the difference and the complications about these 2 openings

[@nunyabusiness4606]

neither is really better. I switched from e4 to d4 recently. I personally think d4 is better to play at a low level, because many low level opponents are not prepared to play against it, and you won't run into nearly as many opening traps. Now, at an intermediate to high level, everyone knows opening theory and how to play against 1.d4. But both of these openings are played at a high level and they're both viable. Even 1. c4 is pretty viable too although I find it pretty tricky to navigate compared to e4 or d4. At the end of the day the opening isn't all that important (within reason), because the better tactical player usually wins regardless.

[@ChessSensei]

Both e4 and d4 have their merits and the best choice often depends on your individual playstyle. In chess, there are typically two major types of playstyles: dynamic and positional. Dynamic players tend to enjoy open positions, tactics, and attacks, while positional players usually prefer closed pawn structures and gradual development. 1. e4 often leads to more dynamic, open positions that provide ample opportunities for tactical play and attacks. Think of openings like the Sicilian Defense where both sides have chances for an aggressive game. 2. d4 generally leads to more positional, closed games, where understanding of pawn structures and endgames can be more important. Openings like the Queen's Gambit or the King's Indian Defense often involve more strategic planning and a longer-term view of the game. Choose based on what suits your style and strengths!

[@leoboaz]

3:08 the pawn is not at the right spot bro
