Wow Alex bringing another banger video to us! This is exactly my repertoire and the kind of openings I like. Solid with at least 1-2 traps in them. Gonna sit down and study them today, thank you!
THank you. I have been watching your many Vienna System videos in an in-depth manner, without "multi-tasking," LOL! It is bringing my game to the next level. Thanks, again!
As a loyal caro player, that trap is dirty. Been hit with it a few times before I quit playing into it. I do like how deflated they get when you don't allow them their free queen
dude i just discovered your channel yesterday and i love it. very nice the way you instruct things and that you dont miss detail, detail is very important to thankyou, and hope you continue making bangers
Love this video! So useful to find ways to play against moves other than e5. Could you do a video going through some theory with these openings if they decline them or play the best move?
I just started playing 2 months ago and hit a wall of improvement. Then I started watching your channel! I am now quickly moving up the rankings thanks to your teaching. Thank you
Hey man, maybe you wont see this but im glad i found you. I wasnt able to get past 700 before i found your videos and after watching a few it seems so easy ive won 12 of my last 14 games. Im glad your channel is also growing good for you! Hope you get many more subs you deserve it
Thanks for this. The Vienna is usually my go to with white, but I just get a little lazy to go through all these lines. Would've also liked to see how you deal with Scandinavian, but, oh well. Not 100% sold on the Smith-Morra. I do prefer the Alapin. But I'll give it a try. Anyway, great stuff 👍
Hi Alex i wanted to ask can you make a video on how to attack and defend with the London I’m a 120 rated player and I’m struggling to pressure but defend at the same time also i want to ask what is a very good opening for black thank you and have a good day
Second game was an excellent scenario of when putting a rook on open file would get you a dressing down by the engine. The ”can't go wrong” move is wrong about 10-15% of the time. Just enough to force you to seriously question it (i.e., chew up clock). In this case it was fairly obvious. The more subtle scenarios are so infuriating.
I have a video idea for you. You can make a tier list of openings. You can even spit it for whites and blacks. And even more for beginners and intermediates if you want.
Hey Alex. Language buff here, just curious: Can Romanians and (Western) Moldovans understand each other? Also, while Romanian is very different from the Western Romance languages, can Romanians understand much of Italian, Spanish, etc. either spoken or in written forms? Thanks!
against the king's indian I noticed Kd8 after Nd5 is possible. it seems to be a +2 advantage, but playing it as a +2 is extremely hard as black gets tons of development and a pretty safe king on c7. i'm wondering why you didn't show this line.
You can use the same trap he shows against the caro versus the scandi. They both transpose. It’s called the tennison gambit. Comes out of the Reti opening
Those were the 2 I was looking for from the start as I have good lines against King's pawn, caro, and PIRC... it's funny that the two he didn't cover were exactly the 2 I wanted.
Alex Banzea. I love your videos but your rating has grown so much and lately I haven't been enjoying your videos as I've always enjoyed them like these older videos... I would also like to see a Smith Mora rating climb/ theory for white possibly in the near future. live long.
nice show how to punish a poor students.. I wonder if You could do a speed run from zero to hero in order to get some higher ranking games with the time?kind regards ;)
At 26:19 --- "Generally, if someone sees me playing like this, even I would suspect myself for using anal beads." LOL! If I didn't know the backstory I'd be wondering WTF.
I’d love the Bugatti but I’m so bad at the London that it makes me hate playing as white. I can have all the Chessable courses in the world but subtlety of the different move orders in the London just have me lost.
If you get some " Taekwondo bishop merch I am buying straight away And by the way! I got a platinum badge on Akinator with you so 69 points more for me
"Day 3 my third vidoe watching e4rating climb" My favourite part of this video is KID Or Pirc trap cuz idk what to do against KID a d they are really popular.
my nightly routine: lose at chess, quit chess, get ready for bed, watch alex, excited to play chess again tmr.
Haha! Me too!
Haha same here
watch Alex play, ahh that makes sense, gets it game, immediately blunder all my pieces
Facts
I wish this wasn't so accurate.
My favorite part of these videos is watching them, getting excited to try out the stuff I watched and forget absolutely everything when it's game time
Chessbook is the way

18:54 got put down to earth very quickly
The rook sack to triple fork the king and both rooks around 13:00 is beautiful
As a loyal caro player, that trap is dirty. Been hit with it a few times before I quit playing into it. I do like how deflated they get when you don't allow them their free queen
Wow that caro trap is great!
Also your sense of humor just made you my favorite chess personality
That first game was very instructive
Best chess RUclipsr about. Respectful. Calm and collected. Light hearted and chill. (And alright at chess lol.)
Excelent content Alex! I really enjoy the content and you been more loose and fun!
10:07
I noticed afterwards! Stepping outside real quick 😏

Same but just a couple weeks ago. I’m taking on 1200 and winning half the time now. I keep opening F4 and then the knight behind the pawn
Feel called out after the mocking at 19:00 lmao
Easily the happiest chess player I’ve seen
Alessia Santeramo is happier
Very quickly becoming one of fav chess RUclipsrs to improve my level, Simple explanations and understanding of lower rated mindsets
HAHAHAHA, 3rd Vienna Game with the analogies with girls were top level, keep this up, was really fun
10:06.."I'm definitely looking forward to"... lol..I thought you were going to say what we all thought you were gonna say. 😆
You can get the Vienna positions via the bishop's opening as well.
Hey man, maybe you wont see this but im glad i found you. I wasnt able to get past 700 before i found your videos and after watching a few it seems so easy ive won 12 of my last 14 games. Im glad your channel is also growing good for you! Hope you get many more subs you deserve it
That Caro-Kann trap killed me so many times until I started to recognize the Tennyson Gambit pattern.
This is awesome! I LOVE your content man! Keeping it simple is so so helpful 💪
I can't believe the caro trick just worked against a 1500 blitz player 😂
wow it turns out the bugatti has eluded me because of the vienna. unbelievable.
Can you do more opening videos on the Slav oder semi Slav Defense? You explained the caro kann better than anybody
bro I am also romanian and its very inspiring to see you play so well
First time I've gotten chess advice and dating advice in the same video
I love how you invoked your inner Gotham lol

Great video, btw is the d3 caro kan gambit sound?
not really
@@AlexBanzea thanks, i will stay with fantasy variation
Can you make video to the Caro-Kann opening, how to counter if the enemy moves the queen in the second move to h5?

I love the Vienna ❤ I still have some problems against sicilian, but I guess you will encounter more sicilian players as you go up in rating

I have to try some of these moves.
How about french defense?
against the king's indian I noticed Kd8 after Nd5 is possible. it seems to be a +2 advantage, but playing it as a +2 is extremely hard as black gets tons of development and a pretty safe king on c7. i'm wondering why you didn't show this line.
Any sneaky traps against the Scandinavian ?

My favorite chess RUclipsr
At 13:13 you could have drawn 2 triangles as you were hitting both rooks.
beautiful tork :)
@@der88wery a perfect tork with the knook
25:52 I meant 😊
can you do an english rating climb?
That is a nasty trap for white in the Caro Kann--on move 5! You only need to remember 5 moves! Reached 73,000 times on lichess!
What do you do if e4 c6 kf3 d5 d3 d4?
"my math teacher would be proud watching this...probably not.." 😅
Fun games Alex, thank you so much for this video!! I was wondering what can I play against the Scandi or French? thank you!
Those were the 2 I was looking for from the start as I have good lines against King's pawn, caro, and PIRC... it's funny that the two he didn't cover were exactly the 2 I wanted.
Yeah I'm facing the Scandi extremely often as white!
I give your videos likes anyway, but the color coding for every opening at the beginning is amazing
I am 63 i love chess and i am an avarage human being. I follow danya and i really love your stream. must of us are in this rating level
22:52 😊
Me after watching video: Seems simple enough…loses 6 straight games. I don’t know where I went wrong. 😂😂
i love every opening that is not the london
Alex Banzea. I love your videos but your rating has grown so much and lately I haven't been enjoying your videos as I've always enjoyed them like these older videos... I would also like to see a Smith Mora rating climb/ theory for white possibly in the near future. live long.
Nice game
nice show how to punish a poor students.. I wonder if You could do a speed run from zero to hero in order to get some higher ranking games with the time?kind regards ;)
This dude is pretty funny 🤣
At 26:19 --- "Generally, if someone sees me playing like this, even I would suspect myself for using anal beads."
LOL! If I didn't know the backstory I'd be wondering WTF.
It’s been 4 days since Alex posted, should we call the police?
I’m gonna have to cancel my RUclips Premium if this continues 😂
Love your vedios
no chick is out of my league my friend
I’d love the Bugatti but I’m so bad at the London that it makes me hate playing as white. I can have all the Chessable courses in the world but subtlety of the different move orders in the London just have me lost.
I feel your pain. It all feels new uncharted territory after move 6 in any opening
If you get some " Taekwondo bishop merch I am buying straight away
And by the way! I got a platinum badge on Akinator with you so 69 points more for me
What colour is your Bugatti tho hehe
You should do a video playing with Anna Cramling, you are both my favorite chess content creators.
Pleaaase NO!
He should become a Chess Brah 👻
An average chick that I can get 😆
"Day 3 my third vidoe watching e4rating climb" My favourite part of this video is KID Or Pirc trap cuz idk what to do against KID a d they are really popular.
This is why I quit chess 🤣🤣🤣
You've got to make game sound lower than your voice, it's too loud
I wish I understood more of the jokes. Is the London system like a standard joke for experienced players?
Nah it’s just a meme cause I have over 100 London system videos haha
Well, speaking for myself, as an experienced player with the Caro Kann, I know that *I* would never fall for the 1.e4 c6 2. Nf3 d5 3.d3 trap. ;)
@@Message-AlexBanzea. ?
@@Message-AlexBanzea. Is it a Chessable course on the fascinating London System?
Rambling a bit too much in that video, I think.
