Orangutan Opening - Standard chess #24
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- I played a standard chess game as white with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the Orangutan opening, also known as the Polish, or Sokolsky opening. Is it a wise choice for black to capture a knight pawn, and give up a center pawn? What might be some of the pros and cons connected with this early possibility that springs about with the unconventional 1. b4?

While the Bullet games are highly entertaining, it's my opinion that Jerry's Standard games are the most instructive videos I've seen on UA-cam. It's really almost better than having a coach. To hear the thought process of a strong player and being able to stop and delve into any position without bothering or boring the master is perhaps the future of coaching. Don't get me wrong, having Jerry in person or online would be ideal, being that, he could specifically target my weakness and strengths. However, having him produce a video, costs me nothing but time well spent.
Well put, Jim! I agree.
very instructive indeed
I agree with everything you said. Jerry should do more Standard Videos as they are the most instructive.
I like how when you play b4 the computer says "Inaccuracy. Best move was e4"
Lol hahahaha I agree, it's werid
e4 is too mainstream
lol
nut master yea im sick of e4 i only play d4 or c4 if i wanna be more adventureous
I was going to say that :D They should add a feature on the engine where it says "the Pirc sux dude"
Jerry is the only chess player I can think of who uses half of his time on move 5
Viswanathan Anand spent 1 hour and 43 minutes on move FOUR! Imagine! I am not making this up, youtube it :)
It was 1:43, a minute and 43 seconds :|
ehm.. it was 1 minute and 43 seconds in a blitz game. Which is 5 minutes, or in that game was 5 minutes for Anand and 6 for his opponent.
@@jimchen1819 loool
I love how nonchalant that opening was!
"Well, that's a little bit different isn't it!"
U gotta go for an IM title
*plays first move* "Uh... I'm kinda in muddy waters already"
That quiet defensive rook move worked very well in the end when Black got his Q and R forked and then resigned.
Ah, 1.b4!! Really the only correct first move if you think about it. You obviously want to play a developing move like 1. e4, but 1...c5! is deadly. b4 provides you with the foresight to get a hold of that c5 square, preventing any pawn break from happening.
The only logical response to b4 is a5, challenging that auxiliary pawn with your own auxiliary pawn (a3 to defend runs into a rather complicated rook gambit). I'm surprised your opponent missed that. It probably lost him the game.
Black seemed to be fine until he sacrificed on h3
I can't wait to buy "Winning with 1. b4! - The Accelerated Wing Gambit" by National Master ChessNetwork.
heavy sarcasm right there gg
doesn't a5 immediately drop time in lost development with a rook capture then retreat plus a loss of developing moves in the center?not to mention you are starting with black...you're working harder to equalize at least in my mind.
Well, white's pawn on a5 is going to be so weak that you can probably wait with recapturing for a while. I don't think 1. ... a5 is the best response to 1. b4, but it actually makes some sense as white can't really maintain the pawn on b4 (as he can often when you play a5 later).
Still, the best approach against such offbeat openings is usually to take the center and develop quickly. ;)
Wow jerry, you play like an engine! Aside from 1 inaccuracy on b4 u had 0 mistake and 0 blunder and only 13 avg centipawn loss. Amazing!
I just discovered you, and I absolutely LOVE your video! Your explanation of thought as you play is most helpful. Thank you so much!
Love the videos jerry! Never stop you found something you're good at. Could watch you play for hours
Think that this should be the standard of learning openings. Being able to watch and listen to a master think a loud gives a person the right way to think about playing the game. Good job. 👍
Always appreciated Jerry!
These slower games with analysis are very helpful.
Thank you for sharing Jerry.
Love the way you think, the way you ask questions and the way you analyze. Really learned a lot from you. Definitely will be trying my best to implement it in my own games as well.
Thank you.
Fun opening! Always a welcome surprise to see you spice things up, Jerry. Thanks for yet another great video!
This guy's chill level is what I aspire to xD so nice to watch and listen to
I like the way the chess engine reacts like 1.b4 ?!
Like saying "What!? Are you stupid or something?"
Rybka loves b4. It flashes +0.7 for a micro-second... then it calms down and says +0.2. Stockfish on the other hand flashes -0.8 and then goes to equal.
? Is negative and ! Is positive in notation. ?! means its an questional but potentially good move.
WhiskyPapa ?! signifies an inaccuracy
Wow, that was an amazing analysis. I really enjoyed how you walked through that.
Jerry please do analysis of Wei Yi's positional masterpiece. Wei Yi vs Tsegmed Batchuluun
I would love to see a game commented from both sides. Do you have any friends playing and screencasting/youtubing their games? I'm not sure how to best make a video with both sides sharing their thoughts and/or commentating post-game; however, I'm sure it would be swell if done right.
Vijay Kaul That sounds very neat 8)
Really glad to see a deviation from the mindless QGDs and Indian games that I usually witness at the top level. Awesome vid :)
Move #8: N G5. That disrupts the whole Bishop/Queen attack for Black, and preserves a strong defense for Black. After that, white should attack on queen side with knight, queen and pawns.
Thank you for posting this video. Learned a lot
Great game I loved the part were you kept your cool when the Queen attacked you with the rook following up. For me that would have been game over but that is the difference between a master and a beginner ;-)
Thanks for posting this video.
I am super bad at chess but I want to use the Orangutan Opening only because I like the name, lol. Thanks for the video!
I loved your reaction when he sacrificed his bishop, haha. Great video as always.
Excellent commentary during the game
Just got an ad for improveyourchess dot com. No thanks, i already watch Jerry.
... he said, while watching 1b4 be played by Jerry...
Thank you for such a useful and wide explanation. You are really helping my chess.
Great to hear!
hey Jerry, when will be the next beginner to chess master episode published, they're helping me a ton and im looking forward for some really mid and endgame advices! Keep it up! :)
As someone who played Queen's Pawn for awhile, D3 with C4 is fatal. This opening basically requires White to develop major pieces early, or else an extreme opening on left will form for black's dark square bishop.
I watch this video because of the wording "ORANGUTAN OPENING". It apparently another name to Polish or Solkolsky. The idea is stunning. Thanks.
Once black plays D6, lichess recognizes it as the Polish Opening: Czech Defense. Very interesting, never heard of it.
Nice video Jerry, good job!
I feel as though the light square bishop would be better placed on g2 controlling the central light squares. The pawn structure is identical to that in many variations of the English, and the g2 bishop is a monster in the English. Keep up the good work!
I mean with blacks dark square bishop on e7 as opposed to c5, it could have been a heavily improved (for you) version of the Karpov variation in the English.
At 20:07 the knight could have gone to e4 and then the pawn on c4 could push for a bait and then the knight can challenge the queen with the support of the pawn on b4
very instructive, thank you jerry
the difference between a master and an amateur's mindset. when the opponent sacrifices his bishop, jerry's response is "oh no, didn't i calculate it?" an amateur's first reaction to that would definitely be happily welcoming it
16:44 Why not play Knight to c3 followed by Knight to d5 (which I believe is a good place for a knight; striking at the bishop). If they capture your knight, you recapture with pawn (gaining a tempo).
Move 8, kicking the knight with b5 was very strong, as the knight is forced to a horrendous square in a5. It can't make any moves until black plays b6, which also weakens the squares controlled by the pawn on b5! It's a tremendously strong move!
It's not that strong really. The only piece that can attack it is the dark square bishop, at which point b6 defends the knight anyway: the trade simply isn't worth the knight and damaged pawn structure for the potentially strong bishop.
So black doesn't actually have to worry about the knight at all, they can develop as usual, and either only play b6 when the knight is under attack, effectively losing no time, or they can play it in their own time due to the lead in development that they have. They'd have to eventually push their pawns anyway, so again it's not that much time lost. Yeah, the knight's on a bad square, but it's not permanent and black is hardly in desperate need of pieces given whites lack of development. Plus, is it really much worse than being on c5, where its options are already limited?
That's most likely why Jerry didn't bother: even if it is the best move given by the computer, it's no stronger than a3. The difference in score given by the computer is negligible, most likely because it ends any hopes of an eventual c5 push and undermining the center, which is much more desirable than kicking a knight around.
+leerobbo92 His main concern appeared to be the pawn being overextend, when in reality, the eventual need for b6 deals with his stated concerns, and it's still one move that eventually forces a second. Meanwhile, the knight may not be threatened, but it's also doing not a whole lot of anything
really really good video, very instructive :)
Found an interesting line at 22:00. Ne4, Nxe4, dxe4, Bxe4, Nxe5. Got that pawn back.
I thought the h3 discussion during the game was interesting. I almost saw it as if the sac doesn't work out, maybe it's better to delay h3 as almost a trap for black. In other words, let your opponent sacrifice his pieces, as long as it isn't working out.
I was thinking of 5. Nc3 and then 6. Qc2 to try and prevent that e4 move so u could do 7. Nf3 and then 8. d4. Or maybe even 8. O-O-O before d4. Also I've never seen a master start with b4, very interesting :)
Thanks Jerry!
Hey Jerry
Do you have any recommendations for opening books to a 1500 blitz rating on chess.com ?
my friends say I spend too much time in this phase and because of that I lose a lot of games on time 😱 . Thanks for the amazing video , keep it up 😁
Play long chess. Game in 45 or game in 1 hour. Even something like 10m with a 30 second increment would be good to learn from. Best way to improve blitz is to play long chess and actually study the positions.
Thank you , Greg
My favorite video are when Jerry loses, because it helps me not give up, even this master messes up. My favorite video is when he gets Scholars mated, it’s the same video where he’s scared of the wolf picture, so funny. I just watched another video where he lost in an embarrassing way, that’s my whole chess experience. I love hearing his thought process while he plays, very informative.
2. ... Bxb4 enables black to basically force a development lead. 6. ... d5 is virtually automatic for me (6. ... Bg4 was disgusting to me - the pin is no threat because there is no way to add pressure to f3 and it rewards white for developing the bishop and knight to their natural homes). 7. ... Nc6 says: "Hey Jerry, whenever you would like to take a short break from development, you are welcome to play b5 and grab some extra space and kick my knight to its home-square or to a5 where it will remain out of play forever." That knight has no future from the c6 square at all. 12. .. Bf8 says, "well, you're not attacking me, but I'll voluntarily reduce my bishop's scope to undevelop my piece to defend my king position." Literally, on the next move when Jerry plays Ne4, the engines say playing that bishop right back to e7 is the only move that maintains equality. And then black plays the world's most obviously-unsound sacrifice??? I don't understand how this guy is more than 300 points higher rated than me...
26:04 bishop g4?
I'm sorry but the only value to 1.b2-b4 here is surprise value. That pawn could just as easily be on b3. Just sayin'
If on the 2nd move black plays Bxb4 and white plays Bxe4, then Nc6 cannot be played as white has Bxg7 in reply
KARTIKEYA007 yes he either missed that or he knew that it must be a trap idk.
Matei Popescu he said knight f6 first then knight c6
b4 ,This is my favorite opening ! In rating tournament I win 3 games against rated players and a draw , no lose !!
At move 12 where you play Q-c2, did you consider b3 instead? Same diagonal as the King, and with the potential of the rook pointing at f7? Also prepares a possible c5, opening the black pawn centre?
20:50 pawn wave established
Wesley so said that moves rename with animals are weak.
23 minutes in and still no pieces taken.
leads to the other reason why black resigned. He was trying a fast mate with the rook and queen at 25:00 (with 2 minutes and 33 seconds left) because if he couldn't black knew they'd run out of time.
I only recently started to spend more time analyzing my games, but nowhere close to the amount of time you spend. Just not on that level yet :P
Spending that amount of post-game analysis time is how you get that level :P
Blunders lose the games, tactics win the games, analysis and preparation win the rating points.
Why did you play as if you are improvising from the start? You knew you were going to play 2.Bb2 after 1...e5.
Why didn't the black bishop take your pawn on b4 on his 2nd move
Play unorthodox openings you will destroy average club players.
I think that you needed to play b5 at 20:32 .. then N takes e5
never seen this b4 :)
Plz say hi again I'm early it would make my day again!
Do you just never leave youtube?
Stop begging for attention. It's not polite.
+Benjamin Wilde your dumb so dumb!
Lac and Dan Gaming Haha. What a mean and sad kid you are.
+Benjamin Wilde what a sad loner u r. You have no friend s at school and your a nerd that play chess.lol😂
I think you may be related to Bob Ross
knight c3, not c6
sokolsky opening
And polish opening. All one and the same.
+ChessNetwork plz say hi too me again
Orang Utan is the best name though. Animal openings are always winning!
@@thelazymanatee2506 Walrus, hedgehog, orangutan, dragon if it counts, they all are super great.
how much steps ahead you can think
Try 2, but follow their best possible steps. Only more if there's a lot of captures involved one after another, or there's a complex, sharp sequence to follow.
What about 8. Nxe5 for Jerry. Wins a pawn?
Nevermind!!!! Loses a piece, dummy! Doh!
Why did you leave Chesscube tournaments?
25:14 haha
Do you now meaning of "Tupson"? :D
What's the logic behind this rook sacrifice?
Why should I play Rxf6? It seems the only good move in this position, but i really cannot understand the plan behind it.
Can you guys help me?

beh sifo A year late, but what I'm thinking is that it undermines the kingside defense, if they were to capture your rook with the pawn, and it also frees up the black squares from the black bishop, allowing you full control over them, possibly setting up for a check/mate, and putting pressure. I'm no chess master but I hope this helps. Sorry for also being a year late haha.
My problem in chess is that once I finish my development I dont know what to do. Unless my opponent make a mistake or I make a mistake, then I know what to do. But if the position is kinda even I cant find any moves, and I ends up weakening my position (and losing the game). Can you give me any advice?
Jonathan Donovan
Thanks, it helps me a lot
you just have to be patient. If you cannot find a concrete way of improving, just slowly improve the position of your pieces until you see an oportunity. No need to rush, look at some grandmaster games if you dont trust me. what I described is exactly what they do
PFC1234 I know that I have to try to control the center, and put my rooks on open files, but once I have pawns on e4 and d4 and my rooks on open files that's how far my strategy go. They never tell you what to do after that
I like to play this against unsuspecting players
So you play b4 versus, ummm... everyone??
yes.
Jerry, you sound so much like another UA-camr named, ShockOfGod. Look him up on UA-cam and tell me if your voice is
totally identical to his.
I have a high % win rate with this opening. Not many people know how to play against the Polish Attack. That being said, it is easily cracked, but always a fun game instead of other openings.
lol "Tupson" means dummy in my language
Haha, what language is that?
John Brian Evans Serbian hehe
aperture bad
why not 6. Bc3?
If i were the opponent, i would move my pawn to e5 n i take ur pawn on b5
Jerry has a Beard
How do you know?
I've been playing for like 10 days and I was screaming "LOOK AT THAT BISHOP, LOOK AT THE QUEEN" and then you're like "ohhhh did I miss that?" and I was '-'
you lose so much time for a simple move
The Donald Trump's Father Opening, according to Bill Maher.
Jerry, how in the world can you spend six minutes on your first six moves? This is speed chess, right? You seem like an erudite, likeable guy, but come on.
The more time he spends analyzing, the more we benefit. It's not speed chess - this is a 15-2 game, and Jerry's strength is blitz, so if he can invest a lot of time into a good position, he can rely on his quick instincts and the increment towards the end.
You talk to much
+Dumitru Ochievschi oh
I'm sure ChessNetwork is cracking right now thinking abt who "Much" really is?
