Maybe this book could be of some help with this Flamingo's repertoire "Opening Repertoire - Nimzo and Bogo Indian - Sielecki Christof [Everyman 2015]" Axc3 and d6+e5 structure
I played this system couple of years ago, IM Sielecki reccomends this in his book about Nimzo and Bogo, and it is pretty good, I had great results with it and then I stopped playing it for no reason.. lol
I like this set-up because I can see many similarities with the Dutch (and possible transpositions to avoid some White annoying move orders). Great work; I will give it a try; no doubt about it!
Nice video but he didn’t cover the only move I would worry about: BG4 pinning nf3 against the queen, And I don’t have a dark square a bishop to intervene
Around minute 7, we arrive at an endgame with a pawn less, but we'll likely recover in due time. Is there a corresponding Endgame Sensei video for it? If so, could someone provide the link? Thanks!
Your title and theme got me... I sat through your entire video. For a lot of people who have no idea what they're doing in the opening, it's OK. Skips all the downsides a strong opponent would do to crush this simplistic approach. But, for a lot of beginners and even intermediate players who can't seem to get their pieces moved in the opening and a general idea what they should be doing from the opening, the "Flamingo" is good enough. For the more advanced, this is just a personal system based on Black playing Bb4 any opportunity he gets and then placing center pawns on Black squares so they're not blocking the other B... And playing that against practically anything White might decide to do.
Any advice against 1.e4 that would also be a system setup? For that matter, how about Colle/London/Torre? I am very interested in concept openings as Eugene has called them.
Studying openings is nontrivial to put it mildly. I play the Sicilian again e4, …c5. White has at least three solid responses, nf3 nc3 f4. They all lead to different openings. That’s why I suggested the Philidor it is easiest for beginners to learn.
@@stevenorth1564 I play improved philidor also known as hanham variation, but my opponents know all the theory. Therefore, I am looking for new ideas. Sicilian is complex & unbalanced. What about the St. George's Defense (1. e4, a6 2. d4, b5)?
@@DhrjMakj I play the Sicilian Najdorf . There is a tremendous amount of theory. But if you always want to be playing for something more than a draw, there’s nothing like it. It is a large learning curve, though. I fell in love with it years ago and I’ve never regretted playing it.
@@ChessDojo And what to do against anoying millenials and following generations of snowflake animals who plays a3 to prevent our dark squared bishop to be exchanged with the c3 knight?
Early/immediate c5 once they bring their bishop out. There's some theory you have to know about mobilizing your pieces on the queenside but that one move alone really annoys Londoners
@@josesantos2084 look at the lines in the black knights tango. many same ideas as the "flamingo": get dark bishop outside pawn chain, put pawns on dark squares like d6 and e5, etc. i suspect the appeal of the flamingo for GM Kraai is to get out of opponent's book asap.
I had to clean my glasses 4 times before I realised the video is blurry, lol
"...you can just resign because I don't have anything against those openings." Hmmmm...I don't think the Flamingo is universal enough.

This is fantastic. Keep up the good work.
I needed this so much Jesse. I didn't have a good time with the light square strategy.
Nice one but it would profit from a follow up video with illustrative games! Also, a video vs the London would be really nice too!
i love the way he talks, it makes everything seem simple even if it isn`t
Great video Jesse, keep up the good work!

Yes, he called it a dark square strategy.

The last sentence had me😂😂😂
after na5 you have to be careful about qa4+ because d6 opens that diagnal and the knight can't retreat. So play b6 first. @4:18
What a trip! 😂
As a nimzo Indian player, now I know what to play against the Catalan 💌
You should do another video on the Lakdawala Accelerated
What is the move order huge Cyrus fan here...!
Something funny - no joke: Here in Germany we habe the world's most northern breeding spot of Flaminos.
Funny ending great video

Hello, could you make this complete repertoire for chessable please? thank you!
Love this. Wonder how it works against the English.

Can we see some games with this opening ?
Yes! on my to do list.
its flamingo effective against london system ?

Eh, so I played it for two months and IT isn't so good. Many times I got worse positions playing these simple moves.
how about vs the london system what is the best way to fight against the london system
d5 and Bd6 - maybe I can do a vid a little later on
@@ChessDojo pls sir make a video against london system white playing b3 if blck moves Qb6

What do you do against the London then?
will need to do a separate vid for that!
Were you not paying attention? His advice was to resign :)
the best fucking video of chess with the best fucking opening THE FLAMINGO
why not play the black knights tango and go ...e5 in one go?
Because you can't get rid of your terrible f8 bishop.
@@hantrast3993 you can. you play ...Bb4 instead of ...Bc5, just like in the flamingo
@@bicyclethief do you have a game exemplifing your idea?

like with some of the other opening vids I've done I'll do an illustrative game for this one too
