I have been playing this without knowing it’s the Ruy Lopez. After I found out, I thought why not learn how to actually play it. So I watched some guides and didn’t understand anything besides memorizing a couple moves. For those who haven’t watched other guides: This guide is so easy, it’s insane.
I like how you give pieces "missions", it makes openings much MUCH more simple and helped me to learn the Caro Kann. Thanks for putting out videos like this: keep it up!
in my opinion, your style of explaining openings and such is outstanding. the topic is explained thoroughly and well, the visuals and scenarios you give make it so much easier to understand, and to be honest the overall way it's taught makes it a cakewalk for anyone (even people who literally started like 3 days ago (and i know this because this person is literally me)) to learn it with little to no difficulty. and this goes for practically all of your videos which is why i like all of them, much love. keep it up. :)
I'm a d4 player so I won't use this opening, but the explanation of openings around pieces having missions is so much easier and more intuitive than "memorise these fifty lines", you teach a lot better than most resources I've seen
This is brilliant. The only chess videos that look at the bigger picture and actually teach you something in a fun, easy way to understand. Hoping for more! Thank you!
To add to the praise of all the others, thank you so much. Actually explaining the “missions” of the pieces is something I’ve never seen anyone do, and means that I actually understand how to use the opening, especially in my 700 elo where the other player will often make a mistake and I don’t know how to punish it. Thanks to your previous video, I’m already dominating with black with the Caro-Kann, raising my elo and having a blast. Keep it up mate!
Commenting for the algorithm, love what you’re doing here! The channel growth is already so good, hope you blow up even more! You definitely deserve it with all the work you put into your videos.
God tier channel. I'd never got into chess theory because it seemed so daunting, as you showed in the beggining, but thanks to you I understand all the things that the openings intend. Thank you
I just wanted to leave a comment because I love your videos. It's easy to understand and I enjoy watching the whole time. Thank you for making these videos
Well, this is absolutely brilliant. I bet even more chess openings can be explained as giving pieces a mission and then patiently letting them complete that mission.
I've played chess in my school years casually and then got busy with life, now in late 20s. Your channel is awesome, stumbled upon one video in recommendation, I watched many of them and now might begin playing chess again.. Subscribed.
I enjoy your funny regular content but you are really good making these more instructional videos too. You made one of the most complex opening to look simple and easy to understand with "missions" and general game plan. I really hope that se will see more content like this on future! Maybe solid opening as a black against D4?
This is the best chess channel ever 😂.. So funny and educative... The commentary and bg sound or the teaching style... I really don't know which to love best ❤... You're great bro. Keep it up
This is actually the best guide I’ve seen, even the caro guide was top tier, explaining the missions of each piece is so much more helpful, but I’m BEGGING YOU, please do Sicilian one day 🙏🏼
I am so lucky I found your channel. I guess all the players lost to the other guides will eventually stumble upon these gems of videos. Thank you very much, respect from INDIA Also I want to mention : 1. The music used is so amazing. While I was watching VFX artist reacts, I think someone said there when they were doing Oppenhiemer Review that great music is when you dont pay attention to music but you can feel it. I can feel the buildup 2.Then the voice even though automated somehow delivers the imapct! The script is amazing! Thank you again
LOL the bgms are killing me XD.. but anyways loved the vid.. studying openings was always boring af, but you just made em' interesting for me... thanks bruv!
I have been playing the Ruy Lopez my whole life, and it's pretty much how I conceptualize it. The Ruy "storyline" is very easy to follow once you know the key ideas... Awesome video 👍, that's the vid I will recomment to people saying the Ruy is too complicated... (...hi there Levy!...)
First channel I have ever subscribed to. This video and took me from an inexperienced player to 875 elo. My brain resonates with the idea of jobs and roles for each piece instead of memorizing lines. Thank you so much!
Continue to make videos like this, this is very educational, I got to 1700 rating playing the Ruy Lopez and I know that I would've wanted videos like this when learning my openings. Actually understanding an opening and explained simply at that instead of a long list of variations to memorize just to play like a robot. I'm sure if you keep creating videos in this style that alot of people would benefit from it.
Nobody else bothers to explain, or simply cannot explains it good enough, the reason and intentions of first couple of moves but you did do it perfectly!
Incorrect! There are thousands of people who can explain the line very well. They chose not to do it because they don’t want to give out the information for free. They charge people for the information because that is how they make their living.
2:19 - Berlin defense variation THEORY (Knight attacks the center pawn) 3:34 - Berlin defense, but knight takes the "free" center pawn, after that it retreats 4:24 - How to play the middle game THEORY with two pawns 5:25 - How to play the middle game THEORY 2, The gameplan 6:36 - Game 1 ( example ), Berlin defense, Pawn sacrifice 8:19 - Game 2, Berlin defense, Bishop got attacked 1 time and it retreated one time back (then later 2nd time), No pawn sacrifice The end
Your explanation at 8:19 isn’t correct. The Berlin Defense happens when Black plays Nf6 on move 3. If Black plays a different move on move 3, The Line for Black has a completely different name. If Black plays Nge7 on move 3, The line is called the Cozio Defense. If Black plays a6 on move 3, which is what happened in video, The line is called Morphy Defense. The reason the lines have different names is because different Grand Masters played those lines and they implemented different strategies against the Ruy Lopez. ------ The Berlin Defense (3…Nf6) doesn’t defend the e5 pawn. The Berlin Defense tries to do a glorified trade of E pawns. Ruy Lopez player has a mission to win E5 pawn. The Berlin Defense player doesn’t care about whites mission. It allows white to win E5 pawn in exchange for black to win E4 pawn. ------ The Cozio Defense (3…Nge7) aims to defend the e5 pawn. The Cozio Defense tries to defend with blacks other knight. Ruy Lopez player has mission to trade off bishop for knight on c6 in order to win e5 pawn. The Cozio Defense plans to defend by recapturing the knight on c6 with his knight on e7. ------- The Morphy Defense (3…a6) aims to defend the e5 pawn. The Morphy Defense tries to defend by breaking the White Bishop line of attack with the pawn move b5. -------- Again - Different players all confronted with same dilemma. They all played the situation differently.
any plans to do one of these for the vienna? i already understand it mostly but the way you give the pieces "missions" is so helpful i feel like id still learn a lot from it
@@chesspage1real and this one was supposed to be not funny? LOL, this was also funny as hell bro, keep doing more videos, your channel should have more subscribers
0:25 This right here is why it’s kind of not important to even bother with the Ruy Lopez until you’re about 2200. Your opponent won’t know it either, and he will blunder if he plays it. But if you want to do it, fine. I’m not a chess cop

Okay 10/10. Now just apply this exquisite way of explaining to all my favourite openings. Here is a list: - Caro Kann - Four knights scotch I dont have anything else. kthanksbyeloveu
E4 pawn - Does E5 Right knight - Left knight Bishop b5 - Right knight Castle - Takes pawn Move rook to the left - black retreats to the left, attacking bishop White knight takes black pawn - black knight takes white knight Bring out left knight - Black knight takes bishop Rook takes knight - Black blocks with bishop Knight goes to d5 - black castles Knight goes to check king - Black goes to h8 Queen goes to h5 - retreats knight sac queen on h7 - takes queen checkmate with rook

Openings are not simple unless your engine can cover literally every possibility. With 1 e4 that's maybe three moves; with 1 e3 it's twenty.
