Nice video! I just want to mention another trap in the Bird Variation: After exchanging the knights and castling, I've had a few games where Black played a6. Here you also go Bc4, and then most people play b5, which is a big blunder because of Bxf7+. After Kxf7, White has Qh5+ and no matter what Black does, you're going to get Qd5+, forking the king and the rook on a8.

9:00 Bb3 is more accurate and probably better, because you prevent them from playing d5 and avoid a lot of marshal like lines

@@SVNTHR737your opponent can avoid the nimzo with 3.Nf3 or 3.g3, and unless you know the Bogo Indian, delivering the check is a bad idea. So no, within d4 the QGD is way more universal, they cant dodge it without playing the London, Colle, etc. Plus Trompowsky attack.

@BrawlhallaBoy Below 1600 you really don't need to indulge into openings, beside that ruy lopez is really fine for all players, the reason because of that is even if you don't learn theory (which players below 1600 should not do) this opening makes practical sense and it allows for the basic chess patern of taking center and castling quickly.

Any sub 2000 that plays the ruy likely does it really badly and doesn't play main lines.
@vikrat89726 ай бұрын
There’s no elo limit on chess openings. Even if u2000 ruy players are bad at the opening so are the opponents, and I don’t think much changes after you cross that elo barrier. It’s much better to play the ruy lopez early and build a solid chess foundation than play some shitty system opening like london.

To get clear advantage sometimes you need to make 1-2 inaccurate moves and it's ok For -2300 elo players
@marcossidoruk80339 ай бұрын
@@rituparna7059That is bullshit. To get a clear advantage you need to play better moves than your opponent, the idea that "you have to make inaccurate moves to have a clear advantage" is ludicrous. This has nothing to do with elo, to beat a 2300 you just need to make better moves than a 2300, to win against a 1600 you need to make better moves than a 1600, inaccuracies are never needed, the fact that weaker players are less likely to punish some inaccuracies also has nothing to do.with this.
