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
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!
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!
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 🙏🏼
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
If a guy ask me how to play chess, i would just give him this channel link, so helpful. One of the best instructional chess youtubers, i would definitely recommend chess vibe too
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.
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
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?
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!...)
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
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
I just want to acknowledge that your approach to unpacking these openings is really well done. To draw an analogy, it pains me the way music is often taught in a convoluted "memorize this" way and I'm still looking for the same boiled-down approach in that sphere. Often teachers will tangle you up in overcomplicating things for the sake of giving themselves more work. There are many bs teachers like that in the chess sphere just like in music. Your videos are really popular because they're actually helpful. Thanks.
Holy shot i was rated 400 but i played a game , my opponent was rated 700 and me 1200 thank you so much i will give a like and a sub, and i got 100% acuracy usualy i get 40% to 60%
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
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
Amazing video !! Your opening tutorials are always very informative, could you please do stuff regarding endgame too (covering concepts like opposition, how to push pawns properly, etc..)
@@chesspage1real Damn thank you very much bud ! You're the best chess teacher out here and I could really use some entertaining and well explained content regarding the part of chess that I suck at the most at lmaooo
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!
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.
Bruh one of shortest and best among all videos wohh learn more than i could from learning them separately amazing 👏 u gain one more subscriber. We would really want to learn most of the end games or middle games concepts from u in one video please 🙏 that would be really amazing
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
Normally, the very second I hear a machine voice, I click off a video, but your commentary style kept me interested. Very fun and informative way to present the Ruy Lopez.
I spend my live on YT and this channel is gold! You found the perfect way to keep the video interesting, engaging, entertaining and easy to follow! So refreshing! Thank you :)
Incase I want to rewatch for the millionth time 1) Center at 1:17 2) Knight + Bishop from 1:55 to 2:57 3) Rook from 3:20 to 4:30 4) Pawns from 4:40 to 5:10
I have been reading books on different aspect of the game and I must say, as beginner, one of the most difficult parts of the game is to learn basic ideas behind openings. Most guides say just develop or memorize lines, but the truth is that those variations result from responses to the basic idea and as you mentioned there is no point on memorizing moves you can’t understand without getting the concepts behind certain opening. Great video
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!

You’re the only person on RUclips that can easily simplify one of the most theoretical and studied openings in chess
Stupid?
and be funny aswell
I love this channel for that
It's not simplified and there's no way an engine can even come close to analyzing that many lines.
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!
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.
Man used tts and was still more captivating and educational than like 99% of other chess channels.

tru
but u can beat up noobs with ruy lopez
E4 pawn - Does E5
Right knight - Left knight
Bishop b5 - Right knight

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

4:24 - How to play the middle game THEORY with two pawns
5:25 - How to play the middle game THEORY 2, The gameplan

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
goated
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.
For game 1 example, what happens if he blocks with the queen instead of the bishop? Cause then the rook is on an island all alone

Attack the knight with your pawn and it can't move out of the way since it's pinned.

3:43 -> why cant black play pawn to f5 to protect the pawn?
