Italian game is described in one of the books as (citation): "You must play Italian game for at least a short time, because it learns beauty of the strategy, allows to understand the importance of the center and harmonious development of the pieces." That book about chess-openings was released in year 2004.
Italian is great for beginner. I learned how to play chess in June (5-6 weeks ago) and I only play Italian as white and kings Indian as black (most time) and am up to 900 already and would probably be around 1300 if I had enough time to play more.
Literally bro, isnt that so annoying, when you watch these 1000s play against youtubers and they make very obvious blunders, when we play the play like magnus, theres no way they play like that
It's the applied pressure. I have like 85 percent accuracy when I play worse opponents and 70 and even worse when I play better opponents. Also if you don't know an opening, you will never "figure it out" on the spot so you will make a mistake or blunder.
The London can win quicker, but it easier to shut down and make passive. The Italian game can transpose into so many others (even into a stonewall or london) and evans gambit or even ruy lopez, 4 knights etc that its much harder for people to prepare against it. Look back in Gata Kamsky who played for world title, he could not win word championship with London.
Well, the Italian is interesting because, yes, every beginner plays it, but so do the best players in the world. It's one of the richest openings, but also one of the most principled.
Italian game is so beautiful and fun to play, but the london surprised me in this video... thought it was much more boring, but maybe just when the opponents really know what to do against it. Would appreciate your take on the french, i want to start playing it and you really know how to explain the concepts of the openings and relating them to the general principles, which imo is not easy to do so clearly!
You are awesome, I think you should REALLY emphasize the bishop in the final checkmate…most beginners won’t even see the Queen checkmate in game1. As you have said in other videos bishops are a blindspot for beginners both for attacks and defense. Thank you for your tutorials they are the absolute best!
Alessia: - Has a new concept idea: duel of openings - Wants to prove that the italian is better than the london The video : London is way too strong 😂😂 Btw I love that concept, you should do that with many openings, how to face e4, same for d4, maybe even some gambits with both colors Love the content as always !!!
I've always thought i would love the Italian but have never studied it, it is one of the openings that i really hope to add to my repertoire soon, "wink wink".
Hey allesia mam... You make us very good in WHITE but while playing with Black Peaces we are not too much confident as white .... Can you make video more to play with Black Peaces
alessia i am improving my chess but very slowly what should i do i dont know many openings how to think many steps forward in chess i dont know please help
When I started many decades ago my Russian coach had me start with the Italian for White. He told me to play my opening for a year before I changed openings. I’m glad I learned the Italian first because it really taught me to pay attention to sharp games. I like the Colle better than London. Would you please compare a couple of black openings against e4 and d4. Thank you ! 🩷
Try black 2 most obvious response to Italian, then try Queens gambit x another white with D4, then try 2 most obvious response with black to D4! There, your next 3 videos I will love.to watch. This comparison idea is great.
Kings Indian Attack vs English Opening would be great. KIA gets so little love these days... It's all KID KID KID... where's the KIA's day in the sun?? :D Thanks for all your content. Really comfortable channel to watch!
My personal preference is never to play e3 if I developed my knight on f3, without playing h3 first. I don’t want to trade my dark bishop for the knight.
Could you make a video for people around the 500 elo mark, I've been trying to learn the queens gambit/scotch for white and the kings indian/caro kahn with black
ehm 500? is it possible to have such a low rating? i mean even if you know the rules of chess, then youre should be better than 500. Kind regards from a bad player (700)
Just focus on learning tactics and stick to one opening for each color. Tactics should get you up a few 100 elo. I speak as a former 500 elo and steadily climbing (approaching 1000).
@@ForestG Yes! According to my research, tactics and analysing games should be the main thing to do until about 1600. Then openings and strategy and endgames become more important.
I think the Italian is better and I love it, but it doesn’t come up every game. U can do the london in every game so it’s reliable, but not fun like the Italian.
Probabilmente il fatto che giochi cosí velocemente lí fa andare fuori di testa e pensano di dover giocare veloce anche loro ... Perche tutti sti blunder a tutti I livelli è un pó too much... Cioe cosí tanto spesso ... Non giocavano quasi nessuna buona mossa 😅

This 2 openings are not good for beginers but I think London sistem is better bcs so easy to remember 😂

Your teaching really improved my game thank you ☺️
Every time a youtuber plays at this level -> opponents make blunders
Every time I play at this level - opponents play like elo 2000

Exactly man
Lol exactly, my 600 elo opponents never blunder a piece and knows every openings lol

@@BTimelessC true dat
5:59 Alessia look dangerous when she say 'boom' while looking at the camera and checkmating XD
i love the london. it allows u to make quick moves and quick checkmates. the italian allows you to develop and castle quickly. they're both great tbh

Jobava London next!
Still waiting for your Jobava course
My fav chess tubers all in one place =D
Btw I bought your jobava course but can’t stop playing the Italian anyhow lol. Plz make kings Indian course!
Jobava London is Alex Banzea's favorite. But I'm not a fan. I prefer the Italian game.
Caro-Kann next
I think every beginner starts off with Italian, but right now I’m playing exclusively the London in preparation for a tournament

Could you do the Pirc Defense as Black? Have been getting a lot of success with it lately.
London System was played by Ling Diren against Nepo in the last world championship ... and he won. That's it!

As you have said in other videos bishops are a blindspot for beginners both for attacks and defense. Thank you for your tutorials they are the absolute best!
I love the Italian game. It offers so many options, some decent traps and some quick checkmates.
Alessia:

The video : London is way too strong 😂😂
Btw I love that concept, you should do that with many openings, how to face e4, same for d4, maybe even some gambits with both colors
Love the content as always !!!
THE COW OPENING!!!!!
Can you Play Kings Indian Defense and Variations
The Cow Opening VS Birds Opening
I've always thought i would love the Italian but have never studied it, it is one of the openings that i really hope to add to my repertoire soon, "wink wink".
What an amazing instructor you are
Hey allesia mam... You make us very good in WHITE but while playing with Black Peaces we are not too much confident as white .... Can you make video more to play with Black Peaces
I will make something for Black too!
@@Alessia_Santeramo
Thanks a lot
@@1thecurioustells Maybe playing 2games with either carokann, sicillian, e5, french or scandinavian
good idea
I would like the french but for intermeduant until Advanced
How do you have that pawn at 19.57 ???
alessia i am improving my chess but very slowly what should i do i dont know many openings how to think many steps forward in chess i dont know please help
train tactics using a book and a board and analyse your games.
Ponziani Opening and Italian Opening are same?
When I started many decades ago my Russian coach had me start with the Italian for White. He told me to play my opening for a year before I changed openings.
I’m glad I learned the Italian first because it really taught me to pay attention to sharp games.
I like the Colle better than London.
Would you please compare a couple of black openings against e4 and d4. Thank you ! 🩷
Great lessons Alessia :)
England gambit and scandinavain defance👀
It might be just me, but every time you say "shy move", I hear "shite move" 😂
Try black 2 most obvious response to Italian, then try Queens gambit x another white with D4, then try 2 most obvious response with black to D4! There, your next 3 videos I will love.to watch. This comparison idea is great.
My favourite opening is London system and English opening beast openings
Kings Indian Attack vs English Opening would be great. KIA gets so little love these days... It's all KID KID KID... where's the KIA's day in the sun?? :D

6:58: sistema colle enigmático 💀
the italian game comes so naturally you can start using without knowing the theory
Such a great teacher!!!
Thanks Alessia, good video again ! What do you think about the Colle System ? Good and easy opening for white in my opinion. Thanks !
Bellísima y talentosa como siempre bello video!!!! Desde Argentina te admiramos Alessia!!!!
Please do more videos with vienna game, caro kann and dutch defence...its my repertoire.
Nice video. Please explain the best openning against Sicilian defence
hello alessia, can you try the French defense vs Caro kan
I love this channel
Hello, I saw you re not streaming anymore. But I just couldn't watch the video about it before it was erased. Can we see it somehow ?
London is lovely 😊
nice video against london system i play nf6 and d5, or c5 and im leearning the plans for black and its kinda fun
You make me doubt how i pronounce the word "necessary" and I'm British! 😂
Hi I am Naga Vivaan
Great learning and funny videos, thanks a lot!
One of the best explainer chess i have ever seen❤❤
You are like a better version of gothamchess without the cringe.
My personal preference is never to play e3 if I developed my knight on f3, without playing h3 first. I don’t want to trade my dark bishop for the knight.
More London
Black pieces tier list please😊
I'd like to see you play the Sicilian.
Next: Cole
I can imagine that if I played chess with you, I would definitely keep reading. you are a great player
So you dont really hate the London! After Knight c6 I like to transpose to a,Queen gambit...
Could you make a video for people around the 500 elo mark, I've been trying to learn the queens gambit/scotch for white and the kings indian/caro kahn with black

Test sicilian, but include higher ratings
I didn't understand that attack ?19:58
Yes it shouldn't be possible
Thanks for this video, as a beginner without much time to learn and play i can't decide what to learn. london or Italian :/
Rui Lopez please
Diemer Gambit is the best😂🎉
19:56 wtf happened there
Heeyyy huge fan... alessia immortal!!!!
Nice video❤
Ma'am, can you please make video with black side😊😊😊😊
I think the Italian is better and I love it, but it doesn’t come up every game. U can do the london in every game so it’s reliable, but not fun like the Italian.
1600 elo is playing with you as he is 400 elo , hopefully you show the rating evaluation in the game review!
We need another ratings climb
When will Alessia join the Dutch Defense cult? 👀
Italian…both really
What bet did Alessia loose for her to play the London?
opening for black plz. like kings indian
Informative
Oh Really ?! , Tell That To Fiesty Forest !!! 👹 If You Dare !!!
I love Italian game
Italian openings are better to me compared to the London
Your rating on Lichess is 623? Interesting. Punching below the belt, or am I missing something?
Very smart .
my alessia is the cutest and most charming person i ever seen..love from india
Ponziani!!!!!!
Italian is way much better
it would be better to show these openings playing with a bot (elo 1500)
Please test for black!
Perfetto
Cutest accent.

Hi
C3 actually leads to d3 check. You would have had to play a3.
Tbh you could play anything against 600s, not sure what the point of this is.
