Great video, Love your dry sense of humor...”If he plays that...he should take up checkers...”

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Well, am I not right 😂

[@hritwikranjan2198]

Finally, I've been playing this opening for a while now but never knew how to proceed. Thanks for the video Mio

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Hritwik :)

[@zeroexct]

This opening singlehandedly propelled my rating from 1500 to 1700. The amount of gambit lines in this opening is so many that if the opponent doesn't know how to reply he can get crushed in just a few moves!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

I can not think how is it going to make you 2000 player once I finish my Chessable book about it! Get ready! 💪

[@lucasfmusic5684]

Funny story, I just started playing this cause I thought it was a good idea, but then I researched it and found this, thanks for helping me learn it further

[@user-ee3oi2xl3w]

Thanks! Very clear cut! Along with Vienna 2 Nc3 it can be used interchangeably!

[@KancerKowboy]

"This is a bad position so this guy should not play this game but switch it to checkers." :-)

[@theogantos2664]

Excellent video and analysis. So nice to have detailed notes and timings. Thanks a million Mio!

[@mikaelserviam7329]

Thank you for such great tips. I've always been curious about the bishop's opening but couldn't do it well.

[@scottjasper5424]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have struggling with 2...Bc5 for some reason. The positions seem double edged. Now, I have options!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Always bro 😎

[@rizka7945]

14:50 This position is a transposition of the main line of the Deutz gambit of the Giuoco Piano. After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 you prepare the Deutz gambit with 4.O-O. And when they play the main move 4...Nf6 (instead of the passive 4...d6), the Deutz gambit is 5.d4!?. Their best response is 5...Bxd4! (5...exd4?! and 5...Nxd4? are worse) and then after 6.Nxd4 Nxd4 7.f4 you reach this exact position.

[@nate8106]

Bishops opening is fantastic, i knew this had to be new when i stumbled across it! Looking forward.

[@abdelhamidmeriouma8248]

This will be very nice and thanks for this free continue

[@Rearmostbean]

This is so helpful I have had qg5, so I'm laughing at "no one will play this" Oh the mysteries of 700 ELOs

[@sepfms]

Fantastic explanation, thank you 🙏

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

👍 thanks!

[@chrislikecheese]

Wow, I honestly have never seen this opening played. It actually seems pretty interesting. Excellent video!

[@ScottySoul031]

Busy with your Chessable course now, and just had to come and comment. Loved the part where you say: “ One should not forget that the side who has a material advantage aims to trade everything, I often say, even underwear!” 😂😂😂

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

🤣

[@jongler9775]

Hello, at 20:00 the position you show is also one I encounter a LOT in the Vienna. Same line. I was nodding along with you on this part ( although I am a weak player, I do know this position ). Good job, you are selling me the Bishop's opening even though I thought it was bad. It now seems mighty to me.

[@jayreuben4986]

This is a very good video. Thank you so much.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Very good video 👍

[@yannovitch2564]

Excellente vidéo ! The butcher semble être un excellent coach, très bon pédagogue . J'ai regardé beaucoup de ses vidéos et mon répertoire s'est enrichi . Un grand merci

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Merci beaucoup mon ami! J’espere que vous suivrez mes lecons avec une grande attention a l’avenir!

[@yannovitch2564]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Bien sûr ! C'est toujours un plaisir de suivre vos vidéos . De plus, je partage vos concepts, à savoir, un jeu actif, dynamique et agressif . Contre-attaque Traxler est dans mon répertoire ainsi que gambit de Budapest et Fajarowicz . Au plaisir de voir vos prochains cours

[@dusanchamula9948]

20.24 (In 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Bc5 3. Qg4 Qf6, when we play "against weaker" 4. Nc3 and black responds "99% -ly" 4. ... Qxf2 5. Kd1) black has one another dangerous continuation 5. ... Nf6. My engine always shows for white retreat 6. Qg3, offering queens trade and probably better development, but white is down one pawn f2 and has shattered pawns. For example in alternative after grabbing 6. Qxg7 Rg8, 7. Qxf7+ Kd8 8. Nh3 Rf8 (or 7. Bxf7+ Kd8) black chases white´s queen with his rook more effectively than white black´s queen, (white loses developed knight on h3 (or after indirect queen trade on f2 by bishop c5) and engine shows win for black. I´m not sure, if this analysis is relevant, but perhaps good to know.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

It is a good thing and thanks. Although, that is why in my Chessable course I gave following order of move: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Nc3 Nc6 4. Qg4! And White is nearly winning! The point is that a small inclusion 3.Nc3 Nc6 gives White favorable almost position!

[@rafaelrojas7249]

Very good, thanks.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Rafael!

[@towtruckn]

Mio; great video! I noticed that these sidelines can lead almost anywhere in the Italian game e.g. the 2... Bc5 line can lead into the Detz/Koltanowski gambit. As you point out; if you dont know your stuff as black in these variations especially under time contraints you can get into a lot of trouble!

[@user-ee3oi2xl3w]

After 2 ...Bc5 3 Qg4 is a stunning move!!!

[@Mike-kg5ql]

Nice!

[@andersjonsson8403]

Thanks forinteressting answers from black! 😀♟

[@mikefaz5374]

Such great analysis. So well explained and seems like a really fun opening. I usually play Vienna game so this seems like a good option for me. Long live the butcher! Thank you so much

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Mike for nice comment! 😉

[@Electronite1978]

Yeah was wondering the same as started to play Vienna myself as well couple of years ago. Then again not quite certain what would be the benefit of this move compared to 2.Nc3. Many of the games in database actually seemed to transpose to Vienna very quickly.

[@abjugaor]

nice job mio!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks 😉

[@dominiquetreillard4672]

Excellent ! je joue cette ouverture cela va m'aider !

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Merci Dominique :)

[@john11inchlhb40]

I'm trying out 2...c6 (Philidor Counterattack) rn. It's definitely shakier than the mainline, but very crazy and fun. 3. Bb3 and 3. Nf3 transpose to the Bb3 line of the Berlin, but there's a fun one with 3. Nc3 d5 4. exd5 b5 5. Bb3 b4!? for an unplayable mess. It's defo a bit better for white, but it's so sharp that your prep will win the day.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Looks interesting!

[@Electronite1978]

Almost the same position as at 19:47 is often reached in Vienna Game via 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Qg4 Qf6. Only difference is that Black has already developed a Knight on c6. In that position white can sacrifice the f7 pawn as well and gets a huge initiative and basically a winning game by playing 5.Nd5! Also winning percentage on GM level is above 70% for white after 4.Qg4. Surprisingly it is only the 4th most played move in that position. The move is totally legit and very difficult for black to play.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Good point and detailed analysis man! Thanks! 👍

[@stanwarford9083]

At 22:30 after 7.Qg3, you say black must play 7...d5 but don't give white's next move. My computer gives a -0.5 edge to black after 7...d5. How should white take the pawn on d5? Love the video! Thanks!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Gotta get back home and to check it! Cheers!

[@chandankumar-ir3cz]

Thank you for your interesting video I have subscribed today and eagerly waiting for your next video. However in this video you have not covered Nf6 which is the most common move black will play once e4 is hanging it attacks on white queen as well.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Well, if you watched the video till the end you would have heard that next video will be strictly about 2...Nf6 😉

[@chandankumar-ir3cz]

Wait on the book! Its gonna be out soon!

[@LQVaughn]

I would like to play bishops opening and meet boi variation with wayward queen. He said he would cover it further in the patzers opening but in that video I don’t see any bishops opening stuff in there. Can I just take some of the principles from that video and apply it to the boi variation still?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Get ready for the Chessable book soon, Bishop’s opening & Urusov gambit!

when is your video on the Urusov declined coming out?

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial I know, just realize I had already saved it under another playing list called Scotch gambit, thanks for all your work man. Your videos on the Portuguese gambit and Icelandic gambit and so many more have helped me alot developing another opening against e4 besides the Pirc. You are the best out there. Bless you, and good luck in your own chess.

[@jorggradert1854]

I like the content of your videos but there ist a disturbing background noise in them that makes it exhausting to listen. I do not mean that the noise comes from your place but that it maybe is caused by the setup. Sounds to me like listening to 1000 phone calls or radio stations at the same time, could possibly also be digital signals. Maybe your microphone is catching something from the air. Would just let you know it.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks for letting me know, let me check what that is. Cheers

[@john11inchlhb40]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial It's just a computer fan, it's almost imperceptible. I think this commenter is just having problems, there's no such noise like "1000 phone calls at the same time," that's lunacy. Ignore the complainers, your stuff is great!
