It's stuff like this that gives me so much respect for people who study chess theory. To a casual chess player, some of these moves look absolutely bonkers. Makes me wonder how many hundreds of hours went into developing this opening into what it is today.
it feels like chess openings develop like a city; the combined hours of thousands and thousands of people chipping in little bits and trying to improve it for themselves bit by bit. over all that time it blossoms into an awe to behold.
What's up man. Ya opening theory is crazy lol. One of my favorite things about chess. Some say it has ruined chess but I still think there's plenty more to explore and invent.
Ever since I saw your first video on Mengarini, and i guess I've hardly lost any match without me blundering. Undoubtedly my fav opening against Sicilian.
Wow, love to hear it! My winning percentage is really high with it as well. I don't think any other chess opening for white against the Sicilian Defense has given me this level of success.
Hey Solomon i just came across a very unusual opening for black called the Elshad System. Could you take a look at it and try to make a video for it? It can be very sharp and aggressive and Michael Basman would be happy cause it has h6 and g5 lol
Hello brother little suggestion Can you add the eval bar in these games? Nothing massive difference but it does make abit more interesting how each moves add significant effect on different positions.:)
hi giant, hope you and yours are well. been playing, watching, analyzing games for about 2 years. I've played the same thing for a long time. after a long time,went up a hundred the past month. seven hundred. just sharing. the struggle is real. I should play different stuff huh?
Hello brother my opening is weak 😢 i always play closed position in opening how can I improve can you share me your chess id and what's your chess rating

I like this analogy. Constantly evolving and fine tuning

Ahhh just like the mengarini opening, I use this move all the time but never with e4, but always a3. I like to throw people off in the beginning.
Ooohhh I like it!! I love starting games with 1. a3 and 1. ...a6

Solomon & Levy appear to be in agreement here.
Ya I don't think we agree on everything... but we do agree on the Delayed Wing Gambit being good.

What's up Lorenzo! Very interesting, I will have to take a look at this. I think I've heard of this but can't tell you what it is.
@@TheChessGiant it is a wacky opening. Maurice Bishop has covered some of it in his videos

What is your current rating? And current repertoire?
Solomon… make a course! Cheers
Yessir! And let's catch up soon, you've come to mind and I hope you are continuing to make progress.
What if after a3 my opponent plays d6 or e6?
What rating was your opponent in this video?
2092 was the guys rating I think
I was just curious how effective it was at your level
Hello brother my opening is weak 😢 i always play closed position in opening how can I improve can you share me your chess id and what's your chess rating
