hello Top Chess!!

[@armasxd]

0:55 "unlike the country, the french defense is actually somewhat loved by the population" got me dead 💀

[@zenith.7856]

As a french, I can confirm

[@rumgo]

Explain? Why people hate France?

[@guillaume8751]

Because of french révolution that IS thé worst event of all humanity (not joking)

[@rumgo]

@@guillaume8751 I mean world war 2 is also worse but I don't see many people hate German as much as France

[@chessvibes466]

Its true some dynamic openings are considered boring in this video because dynamic play often involves strategic planning and don't give any direct attack

[@MBobo18]

Higher than mine. Keep it up young man!

[@Bumblebee_Kitty]

1:42 to go #### yourself 😂

[@VestedUTuber]

Ok, one thing with the Benko Gambit - it sacrifices a lot of material but it does give a positional advantage, because not only do you open lines for your own pieces, you also stall White's development by basically forcing them to move the same pawn repeatedly. I'm not disagreeing with its placement as it's still terrible for low-to-mid ranked players, but it's a good one to back-burner.

[@tanishqbajajprovisional9524]

[@Sesquipedalian3]

8:51 I think almost everyone knows this because the delayed version was played in the candidates to great success. It really revived this opening, and most people have to know this for serious prep as well.

[@Sthir_1905]

I'm not French but I talk it and I like the country lol 😂

[@phw951]

3:30 the slav requires very few theory actually and totally respects the principles of the opening. It'd the best for -1600 Elo, definitely S tier for me

[@Djmorton-go5mt]

I think this is hilarious bc I open exclusively Scandinavian on black and king's bongcloud on white. This series has been fun.

[@lauri-ug6hz]

Placing Alekhine in F tier while it should actually be a C- tier opening that is fun but not very strong in GM level is crazy. And then placing the Englund gambit which straight up just blunders a tempo on move 2 so high is crazy

[@justaspeedcuber]

alekhine's defense in F tier is a crime

[@HamzaFateen]

Fr it's my go to opening

[@BenBai]

Best channel ever ❤❤.

[@tong_thanh5837]

I like grunfeld and Benoni as our Dark squared bishop is a monster down the diagonal, actively joining in the attack against the center, compare to that of the King's Indian the DSB is your worst piece. The reverse is true for the Light squared bishop in the king's indian when you can initiate the f5 break once the center is closed, whereas in the Grunfeld you have to look for a knight to cling upon and eventually trade it. Pirc is another story, because your queen side is so cramped you want to play Bg4 against the classical then Nc6 e5 hitting d4.

[@qcfilms47]

I love the GRUNFELD defense too.. I play it against d4 🤟

[@Musterkartoffel]

Plus noone knows how to deal with the benoni

[@Sebastiannotreall]

Chess is my 2 week Minecraft phase

[@TheWorldAntagonist]

ME TOO 😭 I get clapped in minecraft pvp so I feel sht, then I take a break and play chess. Then I hang my queen and feel sht so I go play mc. THIS IS TOO RELATABLE 😭

[@lostingames3OOO]

8:14 oh no...

[@ezgiyaman9528]

I made a new move for black, it is just for white but here it goes, first if the enemy plays e4 you can do e5 or e6, second, if the enemy doesn't protect the pawn, your queen can go to h4, next, your enemy will think your doing the 4 move checkmate, then, the enemy will move to g3, finally you take the e4 pawn and then it's a check and it also attack the rook

[@ashwink7644]

Agreed on everything except Scandinavian defence.

[@Logan-z1x]

Real the Scandinavian is so good

[@MemeFestCFW_YT]

5:11 “ don’t be like him. Take a bite you can actually chew on. F TIER”

For me as an 800 elo player, Sicilian Defend is so much fun since not many players at that level can counter it

Heya ad bishop nice vid Do you know where is the ad horsey is?

[@SOHDAEMUNMoe]

Another Ad Bishop edu video 😂

[@himanshuatri9117]

I am only 1400 but I have won a lot of games playing albin counter gambit. Since it's not that common opening no one is prepared for it so we get a huge lead and advantage on the first few moves. We don't block any piece and it's aggressive opening so we keep attacking the opponent and he will blunder at some point.

[@SacrificetheQueen]

I want and so excited to see the bishop era again

[@mastergarlic]

Dang the 31st tournament was wild especially with Luka

[@Stackoffish]

Putting benoni over benko at any level is a war crime.

[@Vitral_Matrix]

I watch your every video that you send specially when the ultimate pawn comes or the bishop era. Keep your videos going and I begging you to bring the ultimate pawn in your next video.thank you

[@egs06]

I play Jaenish and Benko 😭😭😭 Trust me they’re good !! Especially because, if you’re playing someone who goes into a Spanish or pushes the pawn in the benoni, they probably have studied way too much theory, so getting them out of theory in one move is super nice

[@urathore1981]

What about the Hippopotamus Defense?

[@Red_Tutorials]

A tier for me! Great wall on 5th rank but not much to play if no piece is attacking. Either way is very good.

[@Madarauchiha99493]

Ad Bishop downloaded another video W

[@juankawai]

My favorite the Blackburn shilling gambit is not on the list 🥺

[@essaweat]

also i suggest u put the blackburne gambit too its a strong opening but its ok

[@kitana7639]

Could you actually put the Sicilian variations in a video for an idea? Ad bishop pls

[@Imyouhehe-x3q]

200 number idea: ad knight rise/ad bishop becomes ultimate

[@muskyoxes]

No hedgehog? There was a two-volume book on it that's the best chess book ever written

[@mkei3639]

najdorf Sicilian with forced draw in 20 ish moves is my favorite

[@currentofthesnake8486]

Caro Can definitely not play S-Tier. Simply because White has so many options as to what he can play against it, some of which are really complex, like the Panov Attack or such insidious things as the Two Knights Attack. You have to know all of that, just like with the Sicilian.

[@alexanderstoyanov7464]

0:54 was literally eating a croissant, almost choked to death on it 😂💀

soller gambit almost the same as englund except we give free QUEEN AND CHECKMATE OPPONENT

[@trequor]

"104% black, with a 4% margin of error?!"

[@JackDespero]

8:32 What if instead of white Kxf2 does Kf1? You cannot recheck and thus you lose the rook or the queen.

[@ArifGGF7]

1:28 "ooh I'm French I'm very angry"

I'm still not satisfied about opening for black. For White I use the London system and the English opening. But for black I use the hippo opening and Caro-Kann. The hippo opening is too long and I am not in ease with the Caro-Kann.
