Knew the bong cloud was a good opening
You forgot coca cola gambit
Hard to believe these have earned recorded names. Maybe I can become famous and invent a "gambit" that gives the opponent a 10 point advantage – or even checkmate! – in the opening. (The Dunce Gambit?)
There's this terrible one, too…
Evans Gambit: Fontaine Counter-Gambit
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.b4 b5
Stockfish eval: +2.1
I determined to play them all
my stockfish evaluation guesses are getting better π
I like that this vid starts immediately without unnecessary talking
How gm think in chess
17:00 Careful. The Carrera gambit has numerous traps including the g6 trap and the delayed Scholar's mate.
18:00 It also brought to my attention that if black is not careful, white can have nasty attacks if the bishop and the queen attacks f6 once it pushes the pawn to kick out the knight.
borg is just the reverse grob
If your opening says Guautemala defense you already know youre in trouble. ππ
Actually, the worst opening for Black is "C40 King's Pawn Game: Damiano Defense, Damiano Gambit" which give White +7. I accidently played this, at first I though it was a blunder. Turn out it's actually an opening in opening book lol
Yesterday an opponent played the worst opening i've ever seen. e4-f6, d4-g5 allowing me Qh5#. Still wondering what his deal was, is there even a worse opening out there?
11:06 basically black sacrifices a pawn so you play a trompowsky opening…
I find it amusing that Stockfish is recommending exactly the sort of moves I was taught as a child – just develop your pieces…
Conclusion:
Donβt play openings that create problems, even if thereβs smart ways to get rid of that specific problem
7:54 If you're going to play the Borg Defence, have the decency to defend the g-pawn with f6!
Grob????
but where's the bongcloud?!
In paris gambit you forgot to mention that in all the pressure white's still down a pawn
What about jerome!?!? Stockfish gives -5
I must confess, I find Stockfish's evaluations rather extreme. I really don't think the positions are the equivalent of being a piece down!
suprised fool's mate wasn't on this list
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says "develop your pieces"
Please make a video covering the Packman Wing Gambit πππ
69th comment
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says βalright if you had a chance to look at thatβ
What about the Blumenfeld-Hiva gambit?
Terrible opening: bongcloud
-2.19
8:35 wow i guessed it right!
All this video did was make me wish i was good enough at chess to play these dubious openings π
I dont go with you are you crazy it was minutes video…..
Surprised the the bongcloud isn't a bad opening
What's worse than the Guatemala Defense? The Guatapeor Defense.
Finally, i can play Pac-Man on a chess board
I think even the dumbest beginners can know what's wrong with Zaire defense, black has wasted 4 moves at the start
This is all so ridiculous and my evolution is +5 or minus -5
1:45
Another solution is Qc2 for Black
3:15 actually as black Δ± would play f3 he has to take with g pawn or move knight if whlte take with g pawn then quenn h4 is a good 5 move checkmate
how can you castle when your king was already checked? last gambit wrong
