Thank you sensei. Fried liver attack is the only variation I know with white from the italian game, and traxler counter gambit for black. I'll be sure to review this opening and add it to my arsenal. Subbed!
Consider the Evan’s Gambit as well. It’s very open and tactical, and often ends up with a completely dominant centre. Without a doubt my favourite opening atm
Back in the 1960's, I used to play the line up to 4. O-O, then play the Evans Gambit against 4... d6 and d4 against 4... Nf6. I recall that I was 100% in both lines.
3:05 how is that possible that you captured a pawn on F5 moving your pawn from E5 to F6? Is there something I'm not understanding here, isn't that an illegal move?
I play the London always with this video l will step up my game but l still need an opening with black which is solid and tactical like the London l tried the Indian and the Sicilian but they usually fail most of the times
I don't understand what you mean at 5:34 For me, if the knight moves to E7 then the pawns and the bishop are still safe and the king is no longer in danger
Yes, it is called "en passant." In chess, if a pawn moves two squares forward from its starting position and lands next to an opponent's pawn, the opponent can capture it as if it had only moved one square forward. This unique rule prevents pawns from escaping capture after making a double move. Explanation from Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_passant): In chess, en passant (French: [ɑ̃ pasɑ̃], lit. "in passing") describes the capture by a pawn of an enemy pawn on the same rank and an adjacent file that has just made an initial two-square advance.[2][3] The capturing pawn moves to the square that the enemy pawn passed over, as if the enemy pawn had advanced only one square. The rule ensures that a pawn cannot use its two-square move to safely skip past an enemy pawn. Capturing en passant is permitted only on the turn immediately after the two-square advance; it cannot be done on a later turn.[4] The capturing move is sometimes notated by appending the abbreviation e.p. Rules The conditions for a pawn to capture an enemy pawn en passant are as follows: 1. the enemy pawn advanced two squares on the previous turn; 2. the capturing pawn attacks the square that the enemy pawn passed over. If these conditions are met, the capturing pawn can move diagonally forward to the square that the enemy pawn passed, capturing the enemy pawn as if it had moved only one square. If the right to capture en passant is not exercised immediately, it is subsequently lost. Making the capture is optional, unless there is no other legal move.

I tried this out right after the video and went really deep into one of the lines he said, and dominated lol. Lucky I guess, but I do get a lot of opportunities to do the e5 gambit
at 8:28 you missed a winning move, when black plays rd8 instead of white responding with qxa7 white can play Nf6+ black has to play qxf6 and white then wins the queen with qxf6
I have countered all white attacks that has been shown in this video. Although i always start with Sicilian when I am white but thats because its the most solid opening after london but for no reason it is a sure win opening. I still prefer london more altough I am not very comfortable with london either. But I am very comfortable with opponent playing Sicilian because I know counters for all possible continuation
Good question! The engine suggests that there are 2 ways for White to continue after Black's move 6... Qe7. Firstly, White could go for the more forcing variation with 7. Bxf7+ Kf8 and now White needs to know a short series of moves that is the only way to gain an advantage: 8. Nd3 Kxf7 9. e5 and now it doesn't really matter where the Black's Knight on f6 goes, White would continue with Nxc5 and Be3 winning back the piece. Secondly, White could play more safely retreating the Knight to d3: 7. Nd3 d6 8. Nxc5 gaining the bishop pair and Stockfish on a high depth says this is around +0.9 advantage for White.
"Highest win rate" -- on Lichess, for the Lichess databse. A better way to assess the merits of this opening is to switch over to the master's database, where we see a 21% win rate for white.
neither is really better. I switched from e4 to d4 recently. I personally think d4 is better to play at a low level, because many low level opponents are not prepared to play against it, and you won't run into nearly as many opening traps. Now, at an intermediate to high level, everyone knows opening theory and how to play against 1.d4. But both of these openings are played at a high level and they're both viable. Even 1. c4 is pretty viable too although I find it pretty tricky to navigate compared to e4 or d4. At the end of the day the opening isn't all that important (within reason), because the better tactical player usually wins regardless.
Both e4 and d4 have their merits and the best choice often depends on your individual playstyle. In chess, there are typically two major types of playstyles: dynamic and positional. Dynamic players tend to enjoy open positions, tactics, and attacks, while positional players usually prefer closed pawn structures and gradual development. 1. e4 often leads to more dynamic, open positions that provide ample opportunities for tactical play and attacks. Think of openings like the Sicilian Defense where both sides have chances for an aggressive game. 2. d4 generally leads to more positional, closed games, where understanding of pawn structures and endgames can be more important. Openings like the Queen's Gambit or the King's Indian Defense often involve more strategic planning and a longer-term view of the game. Choose based on what suits your style and strengths!
30 years ago this opening was ridiculed as archaic and not to be used beyond club play or even park play. So we had a few decades of 3.Bb5 and Ruy Lopez. Beauty of chess is it is always changing. Even though Elon Musk considers it too easy and finite for his intellect.
Musk’s criticisms of chess don’t make sense though. If he had first mastered chess then given them, that would be noteworthy; but he didn’t. He simply gave his preferences for games that included more variables and unknowns. That’s different than saying chess is “too easy”. Chess rules are easy. Chess is incredibly hard because your opponent gets a vote. You aren’t playing against the game. You are playing the opponent. Musk seems to lose sight of this.

@@ChessSensei well, i didn't know this actually. But one thing you are still wrong is that i'm a low level player. Dude, i am not even a chess player. i haven't played a singe game in chess in past 15years. RUclips randomly suggested this. And since i didn't know this rule as so called big players like you i did get it wrong. But thanks anyway. This is an interesting outlook.
@@HudaFook You made a comment as if he was wrong, so all he can assume is you are low level because en passant is a basic rule, best not to tell someone something isn't allowed if you don't play the game.

Stating the alternatives in moves is a great teaching M.O.!
I might try it but my win rate is so high with the Evans Gambit already so I’d be tempted to just go 4.b4 always no matter what instead of 4.O-O 5.d4
Yep the Evans Gambit is a strong choice as well. Best of luck with your games! 🌟
