  • In this video, I play the Taimanov Sicilian against Flaccidmoves (2364) in the second round of the May Chess Mayhem tournament hosted by GM Ben Finegold. Ben streamed commentary of this tournament on his Twitch channel ( / gmbenjaminfinegold ) and you'll see some of his comments sprinkled into this video. The tournament featured 7 rounds of 10-minute chess with over $3000 in prize money thanks to generous sponsors. Stay tuned (and subscribe) for round 3!

    can someone recommend anything for building an opening repertoire. i'm always playing the same opening, but now i want to explore different openings. any tips. ps: great video

    • @zombieninjapitbull3856
      @zombieninjapitbull3856 4 года назад +4

      Depends on what you play now, i generally used to play e4 ruy lopez classical, and tge najdorf sicilian, but ive branched into other variations of the sicilian including the taimanov shown here, i still usually only play the ruy as white but occasionally will bust out an english? (Essentially i use and play my knowledge of sicilian as white one tempo ahead... I usually lose like this though, but it is fun) if you explore the variations in the openings you know u can add variety or find other openings that attempt the same goals. I play sicilian because it gives me attacking chances vs white on e4, which is the reason i also picked up the budapest gambit vs queens gambit, i like to attack.

      i will definitely check out more variations in the sicilian. but i was wondering where to learn the theory. do you just analyse it by yourself, use the engine, books or youtube?
