Had no idea this channel was still active. Glad I came back around. Used to watch this channel’s videos all the time years ago, haha. I still show people the “Game of the Century” video whenever chess gets brought up. Thanks for the video, and all the content over the years! Great work!

[@chesswebsite]

Welcome back! I'm still here after all these years.

[@Whynot83848]

Same here, I remember watching these religiously everyday more than 5 years ago

[@Fortnight_God]

Jeez man i just found your channel and i must say this is some amazing content and im glad you kept you passion for chess throughout all these years

[@chesswebsite]

I appreciate that! Always fun to hear about people just now finding the channel.

[@AmaIkechukwu]

You have a style that keeps me coming back. This Man you are good

[@gamerxplus7203]

The best part of Stafford gambit is that you can change the strategy during the match to create traps like elephant trap for example and other types

[@chesswebsite]

Agreed. It completely changes the dynamic of the Petrov. I love it.

[@Chess-Online]

Very informative as always.

[@danielaassa3470]

Love your videos, can you do a video on the Rousseau gambit?

[@chesswebsite]

Yes. I have one on my website. www.thechesswebsite.com

[@hawazinmohamad9172]

Kevin legend your videos are the first digital chess expierience i had and it made me wanna improve hard and get good

[@chesswebsite]

That is so cool to hear. Glad you enjoy my content!

[@atillamustafa1688]

Amazing video, can you make a video about Latvian gambit please

[@weebfam1311]

Its been like 13yrs+ and my man here still posting

[@chesswebsite]

You already know. Gotta keep the dream alive.

[@metadexter]

And he’s still liking and replying to almost every comment, even with hundreds of thousands of subscribers :)

[@m136dalie]

Love these type of videos. I recognise most of these openings but haven't tried all of them. I should!

[@chesswebsite]

Definitely try them out and let me know what you think. Any other top lists you would like to see?

[@simonoram1809]

Anything to do with the King's Gambit gets my vote, it's so much fun. In fact I'm addicted to it. The Lucchini is fun as well but, not so many play along with that one.

[@chesswebsite]

Glad to hear there are other King's Gambit fans out there.

[@littlefamous2.1111]

Addicted to your tutorials brother 😅✌️

[@lilmoyse]

Can you add a links to a playlist with the videos on these in the description 🙏

[@chandankumar-ir3cz]

Thanks Kevin for this video. I have played Stafford in every game whenever I m playing with black pieces and Fried liver with white pieces😊

[@johnnybluntzz]

Thank you for the excellent content!

[@chesswebsite]

It's my pleasure. Thanks for the support.

[@rebuznardo]

Very nice. I appreciate your effort. Let me ask you: the Jobava London does not qualify as trendy?

[@xinlorr5733]

Always love the vidoes

[@chesswebsite]

Thanks Xinlorr.

[@davincitoredivinott1508]

2:25 one of my favorite openings!

[@OrangeJu1cee]

My favorite modern opening is the Bong Cloud (accepted variation)

[@chesswebsite]

haha I should do a video on the top meme openings.

[@justaperception8859]

13 years going, man thats dedication. i barely play chess but just cause that im subbing

[@rattlesnek6077]

Why did you mention rosen for stafford but didn't mention Jonathan Schrantz (vampire chicken) for orthoschnap and nakhmanson? He's basically a godfather of those two

[@chesswebsite]

He definitely is fantastic. Great call.

[@glenpierce777]

Great list.

[@chesswebsite]

Thanks Glen.

[@TheAracter]

hey love ur opening videos man I’m getting better haha

[@chesswebsite]

Glad you like them! I'm curious what have been some of your favorites?

[@TheAracter]

[@ohooper]

Great video :) I'm pretty sure we have a certain Eric Rosen to thank for the rise in popularity of lots of these!

[@chesswebsite]

Probably. I haven't seen all of his content, but I do enjoy his Stafford Gambit videos.

[@FlashDon]

Great video

[@chesswebsite]

Appreciate that Flash

[@aaudain1]

Great idea

[@chesswebsite]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michaelswiggart5673]

Am I missing something about that first opening or is it just dumb? Couldn't whites knight fork the rook and queen?

[@MisererePart]

I think the traxler counter-attack is the most funniest game i ever played, it's so aggressive and confusing for white!

[@chesswebsite]

I love the traxler. One of my all time favorites.

[@DavidEmerling79]

I don't see how the London System could have been left off this list. Let's be clear about what is meant by "new." There is hardly anything that is genuinely new in chess. What I think you really mean is that these openings are "newly popular." I don't think I can play 5 online games as black without having to face the London System. It seems as if *everybody* is playing it. The system has been around for a long time but it has never really been that popular. It has gone from extremely rare to extremely common. I think its rise in popularity stems from several popular chess content creators who advocate this system; most notably Eric Rosen and Levy Rozman. One is going to see the London System much more often than any of the openings on your list. Yet, if you go back more than five years, virtually nobody was playing the London System.

[@chesswebsite]

Fair point. I think the London System makes a ton of sense as being a new trendy opening over the last 5 years.

[@Bach432hz]

hey kevin, nice video!

[@chesswebsite]

Thanks ejb. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@SLKCHESS]

Nice video

[@chesswebsite]

Glad you liked it, SLK CHESS.

[@marfra149]

Nice video,my favorit is English but i Like Catalan as well

[@chesswebsite]

The Catalan is a very solid opening.

[@demarwheeler5798]

No because that opening he just did is going to cause havoc for you

[@khetkhetnomi9685]

I cant understand in number 2

[@WilliamJonesChess]

English Gambit by Black used in Aronian vs Pragg in the final of the Crypto Cup in Miami! 1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. Nf3 e4 4. Ng5 c6 5. Nxe4 Nxe4 6. Nxe4 d5 7. cxd5 cxd5 8. Ng3 h5 What an exciting variation giving black lots of activity for the cost of a pawn!

[@chesswebsite]

On interesting. I may have to dig into this deeper. It looks fun.

[@chessnerd1055]

You forgot the Catalan by white and the Berlin defense by black. Seems like all the top grandmasters are playing these openings nowadays

[@chesswebsite]

True. I didn't view it through the lens of the top gms but you are right on these two openings for that group.

[@kuyadong6791]

I wish I could play all these gambits but my opponents don't fall for the traps. They play weird moves which i don't know what to move next. Hahaha

[@chesswebsite]

These aren't really traps, but they still might not play the variations in the video.

[@nate_k123]

Stafford by far

[@chesswebsite]

agreed
