I watched this video and played 21 perfect moves in my next game and was proud of myself However i subsequently blundered every move after and lost the game 😔
I think engine calls it "book moves" because this exact game played by Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky in 1992. I also think they were doing their things. In their times, there is no lines that long, only the breyer one might be.
@@damond.p7100 Nb8 manuever is only IM and GM level stuff. If you play an OTB you need guts to find such moves, but I think its just an engine idea which high level players copied.
This was a fantastic video. My only question is, what makes a move a book move? Just being played often enough in tournaments that it easily recognizable, or is there some sort of official process that certifies them? Regardless, I love that while most of my games only have 3 or 4 book moves before it becomes a mess, that it is possible to have enough book moves to last longer than some of my efforts. Thank you again!
Thanks for watching! :) Book moves refer to the main line of any known opening and its other important variations that have been featured in books, magazines, or played often by masters. I don't know how chesscom draws the line in cases such as after rook to a3 in the video, because the line still had common continuations such as Nfd7 which was played +120 times, but it could be that they assumed the opening phase was already over after 21 full moves, although not a single piece was traded, and I think I agree that after 21 moves it's more like a [Very crowded] middlegame rather than an opening.
want to add on to the explanation comment, or my thoughts on it atleast. Book moves are usually the safest and arguably best moves in the position, hence why it's mainline. Whenever grandmasters go for a win playing outside of the mainline they are usually weakening their own structure or trading pieces to create more inbalance on the board for both sides, and these more risky lines lead more often to a loss or win rather than mainline which often leads to a draw (especially somehow the dutch defense).
@@miningfordiamonds7978 true but there are a lot of sidelines that aren’t the best move that are still book moves. There is even a mate that is completely book moves. Book moves are just studied and easily recognised moves. Not always best
I played this theory 3,4 times and people were amazed that no one lost even a single pawn and i wasn't aware that this is all a theory...i was able to play this line when my opponents didn't wanted to exchange anything or may be they were aware about this whole theory...
I mean.... This is basically every GM game in a nutshell. Many times in actual games they sometimes make a gentleman agreement just to start at like move 15 sometimes
Since nothing was traded in 21 moves, I assume this is a draw 69% of the time? More like 90 actually, since you are obviously GM if you know that much theory
I usually get 0 book moves. 0 book moves with 0 mistakes, 0 blunders and 0 misses is my hack to beating people that just memorize what they're supposed to do instead of just playing real chess

Hey! I'm pretty new to chess and I've seen the main 4 moves a bunch of times in my games. I have a question however: After 4.Ba4, retreating the bishop, is it better for black to play b5 or to develop the knight and play Nf6? I've seen the former a ton and the latter a fair bit of games that have people better then I am. If my opponent were to play b5, is the best move Bb3? What's the best moves to follow? Thanks in advance!
Hey! :) Knight to f6 is the main line and it's much more popular in master games, but b5 on move 4 is perfectly fine too, and Bb3 will be white's only move to save the bishop. It's a very good opening to get better as a player, but as with all e4 openings, you'll have to prepare something against a lot of black's other popular options such as the sicilian, the french, Caro-Kann, etc
I'm genuinely believing that if would do these exact moves, in this exact game with the same exact opponent's responses, i would've got at least 5 blunders and 10 mistakes
They both can be the same thing but not always. Book moves can actually be bad according to the computer but still be considered "book" which means it's a known opening that has been played before. For example 1.g4 (the grob opening) is a book move although it's literally the worst possible first move objectively.
“That game was pretty competitive, both players had an amazing opening”
The game:
both players with a book in their hands “oh, so if they go here I do that, uh huh”

I actually have until Qd2. My opponent played kh7 instead of h6
Anyone that has a good enough level of chess to get to this position already knows that, though.
hundreds of times UP to that point. From there it's new territory

Fun fact: Fischers main opening was ruy lopez as white and he played 17 book moves against Boris s spassky
I didn't realize one could make THAT MANY book moves. Well there you go. That's the Ruy Lopez for you I guess

This book moves are called " Ruy López Opening: Morphy Defense, Keres, Breyer, Zaitsev Hybrid Variation ".
I knew the first 15 moves
Now I know the next 5 moves
The Ruy López Opening: Marshall, Main line, Spassky Variation has the highest number of book moves, 36 moves
I mean.... This is basically every GM game in a nutshell. Many times in actual games they sometimes make a gentleman agreement just to start at like move 15 sometimes
not true at all watch the candidates to see how the best player actually play
stockfish extends the theory after 21 moves
that's why every grand master love to play ruy lopez
They took "i play by the book" to a whole new level
All 21 book moves and ends there resulting into a 2800 Rating?!
**BRUH MOMENT**
0:58 you should’ve took the knight because if you took when they take back, you can take that pawn in the center
Well if we take black queen to d4 and we cant do anything about it
So we must defend our centre pawn with the rook before taking the knight
That's not very book of you.
This is much longer than the average game I play. It usually ends with
1. e4 d5
2. Qg4 Bxg4
Or
1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Nc6
3. Qh5 Nf6
4. Qxf7#
The most studied opening of all time

Since nothing was traded in 21 moves, I assume this is a draw 69% of the time? More like 90 actually, since you are obviously GM if you know that much theory
Yeah a lot of draws but also White wins a decent amount if I recall correctly

I need to hear the take-sound, just one time. COME ON MAN! Just one little take to take the top off it.
The Ruy Lopez is a complicated opening, for both white and black.
When I saw the Ruy Lopez, I start thinking whether if this is the famous Berlin draw that GMs always use

Ruy López players will see this and explain for 3 hours straight why they're slightly better after 20 moves
very good opening and you were also saying what it does this video is amazing!!
And I thought the Spassky, Lobron System Caro-Kann was long at 12 moves
Is this Simp's second channel?
This is the reason why they tell beginners to never learn the ruy lopez- cause the variations of it can go all the way to 20 moves
Would be nice if the longest book move line possible ended in a draw.
There must be some Grünfeld lines with 30-35 book moves
