No mention that 1. e4 Nc6; 2. d4 e5; 3. Nf3 transposes into the Scotch Game, a slightly unusual line (compared to the Ruy Lopez) that was at one stage a big part of Kasparov’s repertoire when he was world champion. It might even have been played in Kasparov-Karpov world championship title matches. Some books suggest 1. e4 Nc6; 2. Nf3, when 2. … e5 simply transposes to a position White might have planned on playing anyway. 3. Bb5 and 3. Bc4 would be the most common next moves, I expect. Or even 3. d4, as mentioned earlier! Black can vary by 1. e4 Nc6; 2. Nf3 d6, but that’s not covered here either. In the line with …Nc6-e7-g6, people have pointed out that an early Be3 by White prevents Black’s hoped for …Bc5 and can’t be harassed by …Nf6-g4 if Black is still shuffling around his other knight. White should have time for f3 and a later kingside pawn storm against those knight on g6 and f6.

@1:56 Ng2 is a weird move compared to the normal Nf3 that attacks e5 and controls Nh4. You can't base an opening on such a blunder from your opponent. And even if I wouldn't notice that it is a blunder, I would never play Ng2 except to push f4 or in case of a annoying pin in Bb4 or Bg4, but this it's none of these 3 cases.

@IC86 8 күн бұрын

After 1 e4 Nc6, White can and should play 2. Nf3. After 2… e5 (probably best), then 3.d4 transposes to the Scotch Game. 2…d5 gives White opportunities to mess up, but 3. exd5 assures White a solid game. The lines in this video MAY work against lower rated players, but play a lot of non-rated games, blitz and the like, before trying it in rated games.

I’m currently a 497 was up to a 900+ a few years ago before I stopped playing. Before I get online I have been doing puzzles and playing bots. I have also been focusing on playing white. This bot destroys me every game with various queen / knight or queen / bishop combos that no matter what I do it get into my back row and get 3 to 4 pieces, 2 or 3 checks, at least one pin before I somehow stop them (more likely they give up) the one piece that destroyed my opening and any chance of me winning because usually in 8 to 10 more moves I’m in checkmate. It’s freaking frustrating because no one makes instructional videos on how to counter this manslaughter. Sure, there is one that instructs on the qh4 idea but that’s just one and even these vids provide specific instruction on counters to very specific moves that literally don’t happen in the game. I’m 52 and have played since a child but we are talking about 2 times a year maybe 10 games. Now I’ve lost all my confidence and there wasn’t much there in the first place. I’ve taken IQ tests 3 times in my life (administered by VA hospital) veteran with post concussive syndrome 151 150 and a huge declination with a 135. So I should be able to play chess. At least learn it.

@chesslover8829 Ай бұрын

Thank you for providing this line of play for White. Using Chessis and Stockfish 15.1, I let Stockfish play out the next 10 moves for both White and Black with an average analysis depth of 34 per side. The result was not favorable for Black, leaving the second player with a cramped position and giving White, the first player, an easy game.

@RayT70 Ай бұрын

It's all about containing black's king's bishop. With the knight on g6 black cannot fianchetto to go into a king's indian defense, and if c5 and b4 are unavailable, black has a tough time developing effectively.

This opening is not good in a higher rated player because they are bad positionally. Try Pirc Defense instead if you want a systematic opening. It's much better than Nimzowitsch Defense.
