What to Learn MORE about the Bird's Opening? Here is a link to my most in-depth video! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j8iIZM9n1qq3kXk.html

Love Bird's Opening. I've won quite a few beautiful games against strong opponents who were denied their Sicilian lines. That fianchettoed bishop on b2 is brutal. Great Lasker game you provided.

Another great video, thanks so much!

Thank you for the video, loved the idea of learning with a real game full of sacrifices.

Lasker-Bauer- a master piece!!

wow, couldn't believe that F4 has so much tactics, we'd love to see more

Thank you for posting this very interesting video. I have watched and enjoyed many of your videos. Many years ago, while in high school, for about 2 years, I had played chess about one day a week at a local chess club. Then I pretty much stopped playing chess for a very long time. I now live in Guatemala, and about 2 years ago, for about 9 months, I again found myself in a city that had a chess club, and that I started going to. I am now back to living in a very small village in Guatemala, with no decent chess players. But since the Guatemala chess club experience, I have been studying chess (mostly by just watching YT videos, not actually learning much theory). By experiment I have found that about the easiest way I can get through the opening into a playable middle game, is by playing 10 minute online games, fianchettoing one or both bishops, and keeping most of my pawns and pieces on my first 3 rows. I often end up with a hippo or double fianchetto like opening. I play this type of opening as both black and as white, and I can pretty much force this type of opening in every game I play. In the middle game, I am using the ideas in your videos, to understand how to attack king side and attack queen side, how to do pawn breaks, and other positional ideas. So it seems to me that as long as I am fianchettoing bishops, and keeping most of my pawns and pieces on my first 3 rows, no matter what the opening I play is called - hippo, kid, kia, bird's opening, owens defense, modern defense, pirc defense, etc., the same positions keep reappearing, and that as my rating increases, I should be developing a better sense of how to respond to white's moves, by transitioning to the best possible opening. But currently I see no need to study openings, because currently my games are being decided on blunders. And even though I make a lot of blunders, my opponents make even more blunders. Right now my biggest problem is losing on time. But each week I am playing faster, and I hope to learn to play much faster by figuring out a really good way to use the Woodpecker method. Note - 2 years ago, when I started going to the Guatemala chess club, I would estimate my rating was about 300. After going to the club for 9 months, I would estimate my rating was about 450. After beginning using my hippo, double fiachetto like opening, my rating went to about 600. After several months of using this type of hippo, double fiachetto like opening, my rating is now about 900.

Studying this game has made me a demon at the humble bottom echelon of the elo hierarchy

Nice! Thanks! 👍🏽🙏

first: great video and second: as a bird player I need to say the Froms Gambit is really bad because the white player knows more theory in every single case.

I saw this video had 7k views and I knew this was exactly what I was looking for

Great video

Hello Solomon. Thanks for sharing this game. Hope viewers like it. I wonder how far ahead Lasker saw when he played Nh5. It's only after QxB 9 moves later that he regains material! On a completely different topic. Ever checked out 'chess boxing'? Apparently it's a real thing....and with your size.....🙂 maybe challenge Boston Mike 😃

I would love to see your response to From’s Gambit👏👏great content

Can’t complain about a birds video. Great as always

tnx to you i started playing the birds opening as my main opening! also: any literature reccomendations regarding the bird opening?

Cool dude but why black don't just simply castling to the queen side?🤓 As white opening was just clearly mentioned that he wanna attack your king side from the beginning though

I suppose that if Black responds to Bd3 with Kc6, we have to push the a pawn in order to prevent Kb4?

How about the Hobbs Gambit?

De un porte muy exuberante y al estilo de antes Y en la muñeca brilla un Rolex con diamantes Las llantas quemando y sirenas sonando Y por la ventanita el humo va tirando Suenan corridones, rugen los motores Y el respaldo que carga, ese es de los señores Con un cigarrito a gusto se pone Y siempre listo pa atender a sus misiones Y si hablamos de negocios, somos varios socios Allá en LA los miran en carros lujosos Junior por un lado, 10-7 en los radios Y en Rosarito ya los tienen ubicados Adonde que llegan saludan con señas Y lo respetan porque lleva buena escuela Lo que le ha inculcado su mamá y su abuela Andamos recio y así será aunque les duela Les metemos golecitos Gracias a Dios ya andamos bien y pasaditos Si ocupan paro, les brinco Y así como llegan se van los azulitos Su compa Óscar Maydon Compa Nata Y puros corridos tumbados, viejones, ¡eah! Ya muchos saben de mi vida y sobran las envidias Pero no me espanto, Dios es el que me cuida Vigilo el terreno, ya no tengo freno Pues saben que aquí nosotros somos los buenos Nos llueven los güeros, carácter sereno Ustedes saben que no les tenemos miedo Desde bien morrillo salí pa buscarle Salimos buenos para andar en este jale La navego en el refuego y con un dab despego Soy muy discreto en el jale que me navego Firmes con los que ando, en LA paseando Y por la ventanita el humo va tirando Suenan corridones, rugen los motores Y el respaldo que carga es el de los señores Con un cigarrito a gusto se pone Y siempre listo pa atender a las misiones Les metemos golecitos Gracias a Dios ya andamos bien y pasaditos Si ocupan paro, les brinco Y así como llegan se van los azulitos
