3 Chess Openings for White – For Beginners!
In the openings. Vid why not block queen with flight retreat as it’s covered with black queen
Good
Very good video
Im addicted 2 this guy!!! 😂😮
Thanks a lot!
What if they do know the Knight move to counter attack on the Bishop during the fried liver, what do you do to deal with it or do you just lose a pawn?
I just read about 10 of the comments, and I agree that you are an excellent teacher, especially for noobs such as myself. You provide info that is really kind of hard for us to find. I am struggling with openings a good bit, so these are very helpful for me, as you present the info in bite size chunks, and very clearly so. Also, it is hard to know what to look for because there is SO much info out there that it is overwhelming, and, for me, I kind of don't even know what to look for most of the time. You give clear topic titles, and then that is what you talk about. Very nice to not have information overload. Thank you Nelson, and keep up the great work!
Thank you! You are a very good teacher! I love that you get to the point you’re clear and concise!
Not too slow, not too fast, just right for a begining e4 player like me, I've been playing a d4 opening for awhile and decided i preferred the more tactical approach rather than the positional play of the London and thought I'd try an e4 approach instead. So this presentation was just right to get me started, Frankly I much prefer your slower methodical presentation than the incredible speed and flurry presentatIon of some other YouTube content players, like GothamChess. His has a lot more (too much) information requiring multiple video pauses which I find somewhat annoying. So thanks for this presentation. Just right.
Its called fried liver opening.
That was great. Just the right amount of detail, actually. Thanks.
I like your video, however the teeth sucking after every sentence really triggered me.
Great explanations. I wish you would have named the openings though 🙁

?
Please make another video similar to this.I always come across the phildor and never know what to do.Also add a scandanavian
I appreciate your videos man
Excellent stuff! I am so glad I found this channel. I can't believe how prolific you are. Thanks very much for your help.
Thanks
Thanks sir 🙏
Again great video. Exactly my learning level. Not too detailed not to soft. Perfect. Go on lik this, please!
Nice, just spent 2 hours studying with the board and trying to memorize these ones and the ones for black to have a solid base to start (I'm 400 ELO started playing a couple days ago) and my oponents don't seem to respond in the same way but that's fine because I just had a 82 accuracy game for some reason after studying for 2 hrs yay. Guess mindlessly playing was not the way to go
I am a beginner. Your presentations are easy to understand because you explain the pros & cons of each move. Could you explain the Pirc Defense in one of your future tutorials. Thanks
Thank you for this. It's really helpful that you laid out the 'why' instead of just the 'what'. The openings are much easier to appreciate now. Thanks!
Do you have a video for 1.d4 ?
Out of All the learning -chess videos I have seen, this is by far! The only one I could really follow and learn something. Great job! And excellent teaching skills by pacing yourself to show all potential opponent's moves. I am Learning alongside my daughter. Thank you very much!
Finally a good video for beginners (aswell as the video on blacks openings). You learn all the essentials and basic knowledge of the most important openings without getting overwhelmed with dozens of variations in a 20min video (per opening!). Kudos to you Sir!
Ok. I go black. Early queen will be the play
Hi I am not a beginner but I am not knowledgeable/confident about developing my first moves. I am much stronger with my middle game and enjoy it far more whether or not I am ahead. Your videos and explanations are really helpful as I can learn whatever I want and I practice on a board.
;-;
That was great. I am a beginner and mostly play tons of puzzles. This was super helpful and I will probably watch it a few times so I can practice it without stopping to look. thanks!
I think you went too fast. I personally don’t remember the designation. What is “E”
Thank you Nelson. Your videos are perfect. As a beginner, other people’s videos are usually far too fast to understand what they are talking about. Sometimes, on a few occasions, I pause the film and go frame by frame to get all the moves. Jill. x
This video starts on the wrong foot: "black's most common response to e4 is c5". That's wrong. That's the most common response AT GRANDMASTER LEVEL, but this is a video for beginners. At beginner level the most common response by far (64%) is e5. c5 is a very distant third with 6% (the second one is d5 with 10%). You can see it in the Lichess openings database.
Lots of great material here. Subscribed & Liked…I will be rewatching this many times!
Does the second defense have a name?
And maybe, go over common chess verbiage in one of your videos?
