Great video. Love how you take the time to explain your thought process. Really helps to see how high rated players evaluate and calculate the position and come up with an actionable plan, and how to recognise weaknesses. I hope your channel grows swiftly, this is very valuable chess content.
Thanks man, glad it was useful for you! The channel is growing at an insane rate right now so just feeling very blessed and want to keep providing value to all of my viewers!
maaan been using the vienna for a while and was JUST about to give up on it BUT your videos on it have taught me so much i've been missing. excited to continue on with it. thanks!
@ChessCenturion recently ive been getting into some trouble when the gambit is declined. I try to continue with the set up, push pawn to f4, bring knight out and castle king side. ( i like having the open rook) BUT the D4 square causes issues because they hop their knight in there or beam their bishop so i cant castle. Hard to attack it too. i think i also dont fully understand when its a good idea to trade f4 for e5. I like your videos because you explain what people need to understand vs just trying to memorize moves. so thats been helping a ton.
Okay that makes sense. My best advice is to either meet Bg4 with the immediate h3 and after Bxf3 Qxf3 Nd4 Qf2! defends c2 and you can prepare to boot the knight out eventually. My preferred option is meeting Bg4 ideas with potential fxe5 dxe5 Bxf7+! Kxf7 Nxe5+ (when the black knight is on d4) and picking the piece back up with interest even if it allows Nxc2. You can also meet Bg4 Nd4 with Kh1 ideas to allow Nxf3 and play gxf3 and after Bh3 you have Rg1 since u played Kh1 and you can counterrattack very nicely. Hope that makes sense?
Great vid and thanks for posting, it's brilliant to have somebody breaking down the thought process,I'm an 1100 player struggling to get better. Thanks again.
💥Great finds because of the forethought and taking time to find the best move. Even though, the computer says otherwise sometimes. I just can't believe a real person could find some of the suggested moves. Anyway, thanks for the great dialog. 👍💯
Cheers bro, my winrate in this is ridiculous. It is difficult when your opponent knows their stuff but you just gotta understand the positions better than they do!
Yeah Qe7 was a very strange move so good to see that as well! I think some players learn f5 as the best move but don't really know what to do after they play d4

Love to hear that man! What were you struggling with about it?

No worries mate, I hope you enjoy my other videos too!

Yeah some of the moves are very strange, especially in positions this complicated - being part of the reason I love playing them!
Epic game! I sometimes feel bad like I'm trolling with the Vienna Gambit... But it feels too good to stop haha.

Good game, its way more interesting for me seeing you play against stronger opponents 😅
Cheers bro, hopefully you learned a lot from it :)
Loved the game. I've seen the vienna gambit on occasion but this showed me how much I don't know, which is a LOT
The Vienna Gambit is much deeper than people tend to give it credit for - which is fine by me because I want people to dismiss it!
Nice game, very instructive to show how to play against one of black's best lines
Yeah Qe7 was a very strange move so good to see that as well! I think some players learn f5 as the best move but don't really know what to do after they play d4
I did not consider playing by the Vienna Gambit against people knowledgeable of d5 counter blow, but after seeing this game, I might change my mind...
So many people don't know d5 but even if they do its honestly fine, just be better than them at the following positions
for 3 moves the pawn at e6 wasn't attacked by the black queen although it was not protected by anything. what am I missing ?
@arijitsamaddar268 If you meant "e6 WAS attacked by the black queen although it was not protected by anything", you are missing a rook move to e1.
Yeah basically Qxe6 is met with Re1 and the queen is lost because it's pinned to the king
