One Chess Opening against ANYTHING!

I friggin love this guy. I admit that I learned how pieces move as a kid and didn't pursue chess like one should. I admit that only after my son came home one day and asked if I knew how to play, and if I ever heard of Gotham chess, I picked up the game after 2 decades. What this guy teaches for absolutely free is so far above and beyond the other sites that I literally check daily for his next upload. I was actually worried that he met his demise due to all the wars and rumors of wars. This guy is absolutely dynamite at chess and we are all lucky to know his content.

I love the pirc defence/kings indian. That combo is so similar, but offers you an answer to almost every first move the opponent can make. Really solid for a beginner

Incredible opening. I play this all the time in bullet and ultrabullet so that I can play positions quickly, accurately and comfortably.

Back for watching again - this is pure gold! ❤

This is great. Its really helpful to hear you talk through all the ifs and buts and possibilities. 'Assess the threat and deal with it': my new chess mantra!

This was great. I'll spend some time studying all these variations. Thank you for explaining!

I went from 1300 to 1000 playing this..

Excellent and clear explanation of the theory - thank you!

That really helped me. I have been playing for over a year with no progress. Mostly because its hard to remember all the variables your opponent can play. With your opening you have so many options that it seems winning at every move no matter what the opponent plays. Thank you so much. I finally have an opening I can understand and can build off of.

I think you gave a great breakdown of one of my favorite openings, but I was sad to see you didn't cover the most critical lines starting with 1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 c6 4. f4.. Would love to see another video covering these more difficult variations

I actually play this, I'm not perfect by any stretch of the means but I like this opening for black. I play this a lot and appreciate the lesson, thank you.

Nice. I tried the Caro Khan and the Acc. Dr. Sicc but this is so much easier to learn. And from there I can train the middle game. Thx.

What’s funny is if you play the Czech Pirc defense against the London system, you almost always end up winning a bishop by move eight or nine, because you push your central pawns to threaten a fork and a lot of times they’ll move their bishop to f5 to avoid it, then you push your pawn to attack the knight anyways and discover the attack on the hanging bishop. In a bullet or blitz game, they will forget that your queen is there and you win.

Very nice lesson and I got good results with good players. Thanks and regards.

Thanks, bro, I've been struggling to defend against this consistently and now I feel like I understand it much better

After watching this video my perspective on where to look before move a piece, changed drastically. I still can't remember all the positions to counter each move, but this opening can lead to great sacrifices on blitz games. And the principles here can be aplied to whites as well.

A really instructive lesson 😎 I'll play this opening for my next few games

Very clear video. Thanks 🙂

I have been working hard and studying openings trying to get to 900, when I survive the openings I can do very well. I watched your video and won 2 games against chess AI set to 900. Thank you for showing me this great opening. I am on the move up again.

I want to thank you for your great effort. I seem to be in a slump, trying new things and it is crushing my elo. I guess it is part of it. But I am going to study your channel. May Jesus bless all that you do Amen
