Universal Chess Opening: The Hippo Beginner Ideas Series Part 1

[@bigslick75093]

You are such an amazing teacher! I just love your teaching style. Thanks for this Hippo course.

[@johnmahugu]

I play the hippo exclusively, it has increased my opening drastically.

[@Rasto1817]

By how much exactly. What was ur rating earlier and what is it now?

[@OmarMohammed-fy2he]

Thank you for making this series. I will try to learn this opening through these videos.

[@brasileirosim5961]

I came here after your last video. This is something I can show my students, as I don’t have the time to show them any openings (beginners, two hours lessons per week). I even could consider playing this myself in blitz, in case I begin again playing blitz. Thanks a lot for the games Bryan!

[@PalmBeachChess]

You got it :)

[@stolenhandle]

So glad you're doing this. Thank you!

Hidden gem channel! 💎

[@allanmarks2150]

Thank you for posting this great video. What I would like to see you do is series of videos on the Hippo, like you have done for other openings like the Czech Benoni.

[@johnmahugu]

Thank you very much for this

[@woodenfences]

Good intro, I like the rapid pace. Hippo perfect for me who doesn't have the memory for opening theory, but I am still struggling with the pawn breaks. Which pawn to push?

[@Myrslokstok]

Very underrated chanel!

[@PalmBeachChess]

Thanks!

[@Kshitiz_san-is2jm]

[@PalmBeachChess]

Glad you liked it!!

I'm a new to chess and I use this setup not knowing what I'm doing at all...I honestly had no clue there were names of openings until a few weeks ago

[@PalmBeachChess]

Hopefully, this series will help (there will be five videos in total).

[@yoseftreitman7226]

Now you know it's called the hippopotamus opening.

[@franzeck8003]

Ty so much. Really nice video :)

[@PalmBeachChess]

Thanks for the kind comment, we appreciate your support :)

King's Indian would be a go-to for easy to remember black and white setups, no? Besides the hippo.

[@PalmBeachChess]

Ohh yes, that would be the next step in learning I think.

[@MM-tt3np]

isn't it better to pretend to play the modern defense and then continue towards the hippo setup? if you signaling wierd stuff your opponent will look for wierd thing too ;)

[@PalmBeachChess]

No

[@tompagano9015]

Did you set computer to 1300 level, you say?

[@PalmBeachChess]

No computer setting, seek add maybe as these are all human opponents.
