  • this is going to be a video about chess openings  and how you should approach them it does not  

  • matter what your level is you will absolutely  learn something from this video if you're  

  • beginner intermediate or advanced i've split it  into three parts in the first part we'll talk  

  • about different openings like theoretical and  setup based ones and what things like theory and  

  • novelty mean in the second part we are going to  talk about databases how do you use an openings  

  • database how do you break down the branches  how do you prepare for opponents and so on  

  • and in the third part we're gonna look at  how to analyze your own games you can feel  

  • free to jump around i've put timestamps on the  video player let's go okay what is the opening  

  • in the opening stage of the game we obviously  develop our pieces and we give the uni the the  

  • game its unique flair it means that sometimes we  already on the first move decide are we playing  

  • the king's pawn or the queen's pawn theory  in openings is a position that's already been  

  • explored by grandmasters by computers it's in  a database somewhere it is recorded a novelty  

  • then is the first move out of theory novelties  can be good and bad if you hang a queen it's bad  

  • make a new move new idea could be good and then  people start to kind of flock in that direction  

  • the opening for many beginners let's say  after e4 and then black you know plays e5  

  • it's it's it's a time to just develop your pieces  safely and make sure that everybody's getting a  

  • turn and that's good that is a very good way  to start learning chess to keep your pieces  

  • safe follow the rules but then you need to start  realizing that chess is a competitive game i mean  

  • for some it's war you know um and you you're  already making decisions immediately move by  

  • move of what your opponent is doing so for example  against e5 we can play very traditional knight f3  

  • knight c6 both targeting this pawn and then  play four knights right and then develop our  

  • bishop because this is what the golden rules of  chess say two knights two bishops fight for the  

  • center but you can also play something like f4  which is called the king's gambit and a gambit  

  • in chess is when you sacrifice a pawn or two in  the beginning and you get all your pieces out  

  • faster and you get better control of the center  because that's where the game flows through  

  • this weakens the king but now black has doubled  pawns and you're gonna get two pawns in the center  

  • and a gambit there's many types of gambits  can throw your opponent off because they're  

  • not very popular right you also can play one of  my favorites the vienna which is non-traditional  

  • this is not something that people learn and then  there's like things like cheesing you know like  

  • going for the scholars mate the wayward queen  attack and these are things that you have to know  

  • what to do against the difference in openings  between theory and setup is that in a theory  

  • based opening when you play e4 you cannot play  the same way against everything that black does  

  • what does that mean so if black plays a sicilian  defense for example you can't really play the same  

  • way as you would against the the kara khan like  the kara khan defense right so you've gotta know  

  • different things against different things that's  the best way to put it but a setup based opening  

  • is like for example the london where after d4 it  really doesn't matter what black plays as long as  

  • they don't target this pawn with like you knowwing attack they play d5 you'll play bishop to f4  

  • they play knight f6 you'll play e3 and you'll go  for a setup that pretty much always resembles this  

  • i'll say this a little pyramid structure the  two knights like this the bishop and this bishop  

  • black has a lot of different things that they  can do and you'll kind of always go for this  

  • and it's good because it's easy to learn asbeginner you don't really need to think about  

  • what black is doing but then you're not really  always putting pressure on black right if that  

  • makes sense like what i always tell london  players is that if they're gonna play d4  

  • they gotta they gotta look what is black doing  knight f6 bishop f4 they go for g6 now the g6  

  • lines here are called king's indian positions  when the bishop goes to g7 and d6 and castles  

  • right that's called the king's indian there  are ways for london players to mix it up to  

  • not go the same way and maybe put their knight out  here remember last time they put the knight on d2  

  • and then i'm going to put my queen there and  castle the other way which is non-standard but  

  • you're observing what your opponent is doing onmove by move basis and then you are adapting to it  

  • kind of the advanced beginners and intermediate  players need to start understanding that they  

  • can't just pre-move the opening it's it's also  about what the opponent is doing they need weapons  

  • they need a way to challenge each thing that their  opponent plays okay and you could study openings  

  • in videos books courses i have many openings  courses and i get this question all the time  

  • how do i study like what do i do how do i look  at databases how do i know what's the best thing  

  • well i mean hopefully that was a pretty good  introduction because uh we are about to jump in  

  • to uh to database study okay i've pulled  up the chess.com database now i personally  

  • at the master level have always used  the program called chess base right  

  • chess base is very expensive uh it's the most  extensive program uh that uh that exists uh for  

  • for like master level players and it's not very  pretty it looks like this this is chess base  

  • um it's got all these things down here and  i will show you how to read them in a second  

  • um now if you want to use chess.com and obviously  leaches has their own database and they oftentimes  

  • compile what's known as master games and even like  amateur games games that are 1600 1800 2000 rating  

  • of course it's better to learn from masters right  so when we look at the database we see the first  

  • move second move so let's play e4 and then we see  sicilian has been played half a million times and  

  • most databases will have some sort of percentages  you know 34 black wins 37 white wins 29 uh is a  

  • draw you know the further you go down let's say we  go for a vienna and then we go for a vienna gambit  

  • look how little games are remaining right  because we've gone deeper and deeper  

  • and the way you study this is you really should  choose the one that's played the most or second  

  • most and is significant i mean if a move has been  played two times in a position that's been reached  

  • 1400 times it's probably not the best move but  you would combine this with a computer evaluation  

  • which i will show you all afterward now chess  base is a little bit more extensive and as i  

  • said leaches has one of their own but you got to  be careful because things that are being played a  

  • lot at 15 1600 level will not always be playedlot at the advanced level so if we look at one of  

  • eric rosen's favorite openings the stafford gambit  look how few games this gets featured in right  

  • that's because the truth is masters kind of know  how to deal with it a little bit better at least  

  • in longer games in blitz and and blitzen bullet  not not really i mean you've seen eric's streams  

  • uh he beats many many good players but in  classical the stafford gambit at master level  

  • is rarely seen but you you at home should  be doing things practically just because  

  • grandmasters don't play this in the world  championship doesn't mean it won't work for you  

  • so always remember that simple fact now for the  next portion of this database study um i was  

  • gonna pull up some subscribers who volunteered to  be in this video and i'm doing this for a reason  

  • because i want to show you the power of playing  things that are not considered the top move  

  • like the second most popular move for example so  here's an example i pulled up steven0396 his most  

  • popular move that he plays according to chess.com  explorer feature is the move e4 he plays it a lot  

  • and he gets e5 450 times then he plays knight f3  and then knight c6 is the most popular but look  

  • at how many times he's faced the stafford gambit  knight f6 knight e5 and knight c6 just 20 games  

  • of how many games of e4 e5 450 right so it shows  you the power of taking someone out of what  

  • they're comfortable in into a position that they  might not know so it's good to play these things  

  • that are non-standard right because if we just  follow his most popular move every single time  

  • looks like he plays the scotch i'll  give you another example in the scotch  

  • take take there's a tricky move here queen  h4 how many times has he faced it once  

  • queen h4 is not a great move according to computer  but it's a very tricky move in the scotch and he's  

  • only faced it one time ever according to his  database right and he blundered he actually  

  • blundered queen takes e4 check which is the whole  point so it shows you the value right of playing  

  • these tricks and if we go to the masters database  let's let's go back to this master's database and  

  • pull up that same position all right just to  show you kind of the effect look at queen h4  

  • here it's the fifth most popular move according  to the masters database right it does get played  

  • it does get played according to the masters  database but this gentleman had never faced  

  • it ever before which is quite interesting and  if you play the kara khan against e4 um then c6  

  • right how many games of c6 has he had fifth most  41 out of like 700 right so again kara khan is a  

  • is a great thing that i recommend for many players  against e4 rather than just playing standard stuff  

  • with e5 that's in my opinion what i think is  the best i think gambit's kara khan is the way  

  • to go challenging the opponent early on in the  game um now another person this person is 1500  

  • kind of pink jig so jake is uh he's a long  long longtime supporter of the stream he's also  

  • uh enjoyed my youtube content since i only had  like 200 subscribers so i got to feature him he  

  • always used to play e5 against e4 over a thousand  one hundred games if you play the vienna against  

  • jake look at where that takes you 82 out of  thousand games and then against knight f6  

  • one vienna gambit three three vienna gambits ever  to his credit he did play two wins but one of them  

  • this is a bad move but he still won the game  so vienna gambit takes a person who's played  

  • a position a thousand times into three three  times ever that's huge that is the benefit  

  • of of playing things that are not just  copying your opponent to actually learning  

  • something specific like a caracon defense orvienna system uh so that's one thing that i wanted  

  • to pull up another person this one's interesting  because this person is 1900 this next person uh gm  

  • uh 500. i've played this person many times  and this person plays d4 i wanted to look at  

  • it from white's perspective this person plays d4  a lot it's their most popular move of almost 2  

  • 000 games now look at this if you play  the dutch defense against this person  

  • that takes you down 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 35 games out  of nearly 2 000 that this person has to deal with  

  • the dutch defense another idea for some of you  dutch defense go check it out right um dutch  

  • defense is event is a great defense i mean it's  it's wonderful and you see that it can take even  

  • the strongest of players out of positions that  they've seen one more the budapest gambit look c4  

  • 400 games here how many games of e5 which is the  budapest game but 25 25 out of like five or 600  

  • games that is how you would apply the usage of an  openings database right to scan against certain  

  • players or just explore positions that are not  so theoretical you know things that i recommend  

  • for example in my uh in my kara con course  uh sorry in my in not in my course with the  

  • white pieces so just one thing that i wanted  to show in my course for the white pieces  

  • against the karakan i recommend the advanced karo  khan which is very trendy now second most popular  

  • move and against bishop f5 i recommend not knight  f3 which has 7 500 games and probably even more  

  • but the second most popular move right which has  only three thousand and now when players go h6  

  • right we go g4 and now we're down to about two  three hundred games out of a position which has  

  • been reached how many thousands of times right  so we go lower and lower and this position will  

  • appear later in the next part of this video we are  going to show how to analyze the games you play  

  • okay the games you yourself play uh and uh how to  learn from those games and how to incorporate the  

  • use of a computer to analyze games after they're  done we'll go all the way back to the beginning  

  • and for this next portion we will go back and  start to analyze games that i played against  

  • subscribers so we'll start with this one okay this  is a game i played actually in the most recent  

  • video i uploaded on youtube which is how to winchess it's a playlist i started to play 10 minute  

  • games against my subscribers and i was blackwas playing against um a 1059 rated player uh and  

  • he played the vienna gambit against me i played d5  which is the main line he took i took he went here  

  • i took he took so far so good this is all known  and here i played the move c5 which i believe is  

  • the most popular move in this position and here my  opponent played d4 which is not correct and a few  

  • moves later actually ended up losing his bishop by  virtue of a fork so let's say you have a game like  

  • this with white let's say you play this with white  you blunder a piece how do you learn from a game  

  • like this okay uh well here you go we're gonna  have to go back to our handy dandy database right  

  • and we say well what happened you know i was  playing my vienna gambit what did i do wrong  

  • how did it go so wrong for me so far so good  take take and here my opponent played c5 right  

  • oh i mean i played a move that's that's basically  not in the database at all uh and if we go to the  

  • even more uh robust uh chess-based database  right uh what whatever it is that you are  

  • using i'll pull up the chess-based database  just for instructional purposes um watch this  

  • so look take take right and black play c5 which is  one of the main lines look at this how many games  

  • of d4 in this position like 13 and the score is  34 which means that 34 of the time white wins and  

  • 66 or 65.4 percent of the time it is black who is  winning and there are no gm games if we see if we  

  • sort the database by white who's got the higher  rating with the white pieces not a single gm all  

  • 2000 2100 and some of these people down here who  last played in 1889 so you know we're not in very  

  • good territory so then what you do is you go back  and you incorporate engine analysis and you say  

  • all right well that wasn't right right that that  wasn't good i i i have to do better than that um  

  • another example that i can give in the vienna  gambit is you know just if we flip it to white's  

  • perspective real quick uh on this big board um  if they play something that's not in your in your  

  • analysis at all like for example in this position  people uh will sometimes play the move knight  

  • to g5 which attacks the queen and here people  just freak out they go i don't know what to do  

  • so now i'm going to kind of incorporate the  the last layer uh of study that i wanted to to  

  • demonstrate which is the computer see this thing  that i've popped up on the screen you have to  

  • use the computer after the game not before and  what does it say the top line it says the move  

  • that gives plus 1.3 advantage which is a pawn  and three tenths of a pawn is queen takes d5  

  • queen takes d5 because you've blundered  the pawn knight g5 is not a theoretical  

  • move it's a novelty and it's not a good one  because you just lose this pawn that is how  

  • you learn openings right if there's only one  move in a position in an opening that's good  

  • you still have to find it because otherwise like  for example it's like walking through fire right  

  • if you can walk through fire but get across okay  that's that's fine but if you walk through fire  

  • and get burned all over the place you're not gonna  do it again right you're not gonna right and here  

  • white is just it's just much better so that is  how you incorporate the computer into your opening  

  • study you go move by move is this something  i know is this bad is this good what does the  

  • computer say uh i will give you another example  i had this game against the subscriber okay  

  • this was a kara khan an advanced car con with this  move h4 my opponent played h6 bishop h7 and i know  

  • that when the bishop goes off of this square  the most critical move is this pawn sacrifice  

  • it doubles black's pawns and it weakens the light  squares and i played bishop d3 take take and queen  

  • a5 check the point here is you go here now this  game didn't go very well for my opponent and from  

  • the opening i i had a quite a big advantage  actually so again if we pull up the computer  

  • what does it say here it says plus two it's the  eighth move and white already has basically a two  

  • pawn advantage and think about that white is down  upon white sacked upon so white is down a point of  

  • material but is up plus 2.4 and growing that's  huge that's a full piece and more compensation  

  • so what did my opponent do wrong then right that's  the thing how do you learn from a game like this  

  • what did my opponent do wrong uh should we go  check our our handy dandy database maybe we pull  

  • up old chess base or whatever it is that you want  to use um whatever website you want to go on we  

  • can uh we can go and explore if we pull up the  chess based screen again we we have the vienna  

  • gambit here but let's take a look now at uh at  the position that we got from the opening so g4  

  • ah we see the problem bishop to d7 is the move  here theoretically and bishop e4 is a move bishop  

  • h7 has a 73 win rate with white if they play this  move and after e6 look at that 76 percent of the  

  • games are won and that is why you will not find  many top level games here and if you do white  

  • is winning white is winning a lot of them now  sometimes in raiding mismatch situations look at  

  • this here black won this game 01 but black is 2408  and white is 2066 right so that's yeah that's kind  

  • of the point that that is how you explore your  openings and that is what my opponent did wrong he  

  • went into a variation where 75 of the time white  is winning so you got to fix that you can't just  

  • repeat that mistake right i'll give you one more  example a final example here against jordan 2197  

  • jordan uh sub of mine uh also on twitch uh we  played and i played a london and he kind of  

  • londoned my london and i i know here that there's  a critical move which is c4 right which is c4  

  • uh e6 and queen b3 this is kind of the point in  london positions when your opponent moves the  

  • bishop off this there is c4 and queen b3 and  you go for this and uh he played queen to b6  

  • queen b6 is very standard move now here if  you don't know your theory uh you will not  

  • know that the most critical and challenging move  uh for the black position is the move c5 say why  

  • why why why is that the case like why is that  the most popular and challenging move that  

  • exists because if you trade the queens you've now  given me a brand new open file and in doing that  

  • you've also given me a b pawn which i can push to  chip away at your position supported by my bishop  

  • now again just one final scan if we go to  our handy dandy database right we will take  

  • a look here and we'll see that c4 look at  the bottom left of your screen c4 scores 62  

  • right c4 e6 queen b3 queen b6 c5 look at  this move in this position c5 43 games 70  

  • after c5 70 ha that's a nice number  that's a that is a nice percentage  

  • that's a nice percentage and then we go like  this right so from here we have to develop an  

  • advantage and and that is that is how the game  goes like that this is how openings are studied  

  • whatever database on whatever website or whatever  program you're using i'm showing you chess based  

  • it's for profit you know it's a paid program um  obviously you know we all know that the leeches  

  • database it's a free one but it also is for 16  18 2000 and it's it's tough to filter all of  

  • this it's tough to kind of balance um the the  desire to to see whatever while your peers are  

  • playing uh and also not all databases cover uh  moves for people who are like 1200 they are a bit  

  • uh rating discriminate rating discriminatoryhate to tell you uh but that that is how it works  

  • what wherever it is that you study this it could  be on opening tree which is another resource  

  • that is how you start learning and exploring  opening so what do you do from here if you're  

  • a beginner if you're a beginner don't just play  standard developing stuff look to practice look  

  • to practice uh certain things that are maybe the  second and third most theoretical incorporate a  

  • gambit with whiter with black into your into  your openings because gambits are very tricky  

  • and people aren't ready for them if you're an  intermediate player uh add a layer to the opening  

  • that you play right try to get ahead of the theory  for example so what does that mean adding a layer  

  • to your opening means if you play e4 and they play  karo khan go play that h4 line i just talked about  

  • in this video add that if you're playing something  else and it's not working find what in your own  

  • database is causing you to struggle if you lose 60  of the time against a certain opening you need to  

  • learn a certain line that is how that is literally  how i became a master in chess from 2000 to 2200  

  • i just deep dove openings and i learned the theory  i learned things and i got myself easy positions  

  • against strong players and i got my game to the  next level so hopefully this was helpful if you  

  • have any other questions feel free to discuss  them in the comments um i think i covered just  

  • about everything i set out to cover when i hit  the record button we're like 22 minutes in and  

  • you know the usual stuff if you're enjoying my  content feel free to check out my other playlists  

  • i have things on openings middle games tactics  uh recap videos of tournaments and so on if  

  • you're not yet subscribed consider doing that  uh and much love i'll see you in the next video

this is going to be a video about chess openings  and how you should approach them it does not
