Hey Molton, I would love to see an indepth Ruy Lopez video. I love playing the opening because it's very strategical, but at the 1700 level, I feel like I have very little grasp of the ideas apart from the basic C3 D4.
Fantastic walkthrough. Attended some chess club meetings and learned the basics but this helped me take it to the next level. Usual Elo drop of about 20-30 while I’m learning an opening but then I increased by about 200 to a 1600 Elo using the scotch gambit.
Thank you very much. Very instructive. And I love the fact that you cover black playing d3! That seems to be fashionable these days in the Bc5 lines after white plays c3.
Thank you so much! I play the Evans gambit, and I was struggling against the two knights defense. 4. d4 against two knights defense usually transposes into 4. …Nf6 Scotch gambit lines
Hi Molton, I’ve always resisted playing the open Sicilian and the quick development and space advantage, but the number of lines seems so daunting. I’d really appreciate it if you could try to elucidate the main principles in different popular lines
27:55 Max Lange is when after castle black plays Bc5 e5, Knight takes is the Andersen or i also heard Morphy Attack. Also after Nf6 there is the possibility of Ng5 which is the Perreux Variation.
Can you please consider making one more tier list video, you've made one for black to play against e4 and one against d4 but can you make one for white, you can talk about openings like london, jobava london, nimzo larsen, queens gambit, king gambit, torre etc
thanks a lot for the videos,can you please tell as what can we play after ...d5 Bb5 and knight goes to d7 and not to e4?in the mane line with Nf6 of black!!
I play this as my main repertoire for white. Much prefer the move order 1 e4 e5 2 d4 exd4 3 Nf3 Nc6 4 Bc4 Completely avoids the petroff lines which clearly isnt a game you want if youre playing a gambit
What is even the point in playing this move order just to transpose back into the Greco Gambit?? That is way I play the Scotch Gambit through the Italian move order. So the only alternatives for Black is to transpose into a good Max Langue or take on e4 after 5.0-0.

The best explanation of the Scotch Gambit I've seen, outstanding level of detail. Explains what the options are and the pitfalls for black.

Yeah Open Sicilian can seem so but sure noted
Really good and informational content, earned a sub!
🙏🙏
This channel is amazing! Please keep making videos

Thank you for the Lichess study!
Any time!

This was a good video, thanks mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

Forgot to include that one, I think 0-0 and if Be7 then Bxc6 bxc6 followed by Nxd4 Nb8 and Nc3 looks good for White. If c5 then Ndb5 or 0-0 then Qf3
@@MoltonChess thanks alot for your reply,i will check it!!😁
I play this as my main repertoire for white. Much prefer the move order
1 e4 e5
2 d4 exd4
3 Nf3 Nc6
4 Bc4
Completely avoids the petroff lines which clearly isnt a game you want if youre playing a gambit
This is awesome
🙏🙏
Very nice.. you got yourself a new Subscriber :)
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing.
🙏
Great video
🙏
Thank you, i love this videos. Can you do video for the Accelerated Dragon
Sure will do one in the future 👍
Hi Molton, make more videos. I think you've not been making some for a while. You games and analysis are interesting for an amateur like me.
Will do 👍
Hey, what about the sideline e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 d4 exd4 Bc4 Bc5 c3 d6?
3:36 why don’t the black light bishop take on Bc4

Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hye Sir, between The Vienna Gambit & The Scotch Gambit which one more solid for intermidiate?
Both are fine. Vienna is easier to learn and play I would say.
Ooh, you have read my mind!
👍
Lovely video!
🙏🙏
Great content. Could you do the King's Gambit, or the mainline Scotch game?
Noted for later videos :)
@@MoltonChess Thanks!
Hey molton can you make an in depth video about sicilian dragon? Thanks and more power!
Never played it much but can have a try :)
@@MoltonChess If you do not like that, If I could humbly suggest, either English botvinnik system or the king'd indian game repertoire :)
@@pbarcubez Okay noted :)
Thx! 🙏🙏
Welcome!
thank you, great job
🙏🙏
Hey bro, the lichess study is a private one.. do you mind allowing access for that?
Sorry, fixed that
@@MoltonChess okay, thanks!
At 31:20 black hangs a queen, unless I am missing somthing
You can't take the queen unfortunately because your bishop is pinned to your king
I have been looking at this. While I like the Goring I don't like the Goring declined since the plans seem to be very easy for black.
Yeah people declining gambits to avoid what you know is quite common
Nice video
Nf3 and Bc5 retreat possible as well and will be my main as black with Bb3+
:)
thx , very good
TY :)
at the 14:04 position litterally every player that I've played, took on c3
thanks for this
🙏
nice
Why did you stop making videos.
How do you only have 14k subs💀
Do you have a scotch game master?

What is even the point in playing this move order just to transpose back into the Greco Gambit?? That is way I play the Scotch Gambit through the Italian move order. So the only alternatives for Black is to transpose into a good Max Langue or take on e4 after 5.0-0.
The Italian move order would work fine too
For the algorithm
TY
Black should have playe. 11. c5
Everytime u open your mouth we can hear you swishing saliva in your mouth with headphones on . But great content
Kings gambit is a more solid opening than this :angry:
I'm a King's Gambit main. Suppose it depends how you play :)
Too much talk.
Cry about it+ your probally 600elo
Shush
Great video! Everyone falls for thew haxo gambit at 1300
Great video
