About This Video:

Learning a new chess opening can be difficult. Chess openings range from simple setup based openings, to complex theory based openings, and many new and beginner players get overwhelmed at the process of trying to learn all of the different lines and variations that make up a chess opening. But learning a new chess opening doesn’t have to be so hard. In this video I will show you a 3 step process you can use to learn ANY new chess opening. I will go through the Benko Gambit as an example and show you exactly the process I use to learn a new opening.

  1. It's so nice when a chess master teaches. The provided structure, steps, and how to practice has high utility. So many of these youtube chess masters are just talking to other chess masters. I can take this video and apply the method to more than openings. Keep up the great work. I watched the 35 principles yesterday. Typed them out to continue to study them. Thanks so much.

  2. this is really helpful. thanks for putting this out! how would you recommend building your openings repertoire for a beginner? is there openings that should be learnt first?

  3. this fella is agenius, like the video before playing

  4. Thanks for the tips. I found a copy of Fundamental Chess Openings at the library. It's a huge book.

  6. Bro which books do you use

  8. This is a good idea for a video series. I’m interested in this Benko gambit opening.

  9. What's the point of learning openings if the opponent alway's play different moves?

  10. video starts at 4:00, introduction can be summarized as "don't blunder lol"

  11. This is great thanks 👍🏻

  12. i've learned a lot. Thanks

  13. Sorry for dumb question, but how you make your videos? I like how you have the chess board and you to the right corner. Nice light and background. Is it the program OBS you have to learn to make videos?

  15. Oof, I wish I'd found this channel sooner. This was really well thought-out and created to be as helpful as possible. It really shows. Thanks for all the effort, and it's just fun to learn with you, so thank you for that as well.

  16. Hands down the best chess channel imo.

  17. 4.Practice Opening With Chessable

    1.Just Create Pgn Of any Opening
    2.Create private chessable course
    3.Upload the pgn and enjoy

  18. Thank you soo much sir. I really appreciate it

  19. I am a 350 and i play more beautiful than 800s and I make 1 3 blunders in every match😁

  20. Author of the book?

  21. He looks like Andrew Tate

  22. Currently, on Amazon, the kindle edition of Fundamental Chess Openings is very reasonably priced at 8.09 GBP!

  23. The biggest problem at lower levels is people don't do what you are trying to learn! LOL

  24. If you don't have the book, how do you determine what the idea is behind an opening? Also, would you recommend going from an alternate opening based on the 2nd move or 1st? (My second question is saying would you go from the Benko to a 1. d4 Nf6 2. e4 line? Or would you go to a 1. e4 line?

  25. Hearing a master call Bb2, Bb7, Bg2 and Bg7 fianCHetto instead of fianKetto kills me

  26. But what if they just dont play c4?

  27. Whats the name of the book?

  28. Memorisation seems like cheating
