Review of two games I played in the Hive Fair Play Cup 2024 (team tournament) where I employed two quite uncommon opening setups as black. Hope you enjoy and try to experiment with your openings as well! :)

Good video! Thanks for the mention.
Those opening are good, but I also would like to see them as white.

[@FrascoAdAbstra]

If they are ok for black then they're surely good enough for white as well :)

[@chrisdotcode]

Thanks for the video! "Traffic Light" is a great name for the first opening 🐞

[@FrascoAdAbstra]

I didn't come up with the name myself, Leex told me about it the first time but I'm not even sure it comes from him actually! It fits well anyway 😁

Another useful video. Mr Ingersol seems to have opted for posting tournament games without commentary. This doesn't help the beginners.. keep up the good work. One question, I beat the Smartbot on boardspace perhaps 1 in 10. I assume you would beat it every time. Do you recommend using it as a practice tool?

[@FrascoAdAbstra]

Thanks :) (by the way as I probably said in the video, I don't recommend these openings for beginners! No offence, just that it's better to practice with the most common and solid patterns first)
I wouldn't use Smartbot to practice, but when you'll be able to beat it every time then it means you're doing well definitely :D The main point is that the bot doesn't show you where you go wrong, so humans are needed! Maybe I should do some videos more useful for beginners.
Thanks for the support!
