    Funny thing, back in the day when I was playing, everybody seemed to play "surprising" openings, to the extent that they were not a surprise at all, and I was quite familiar with them. Anyway, when I first started playing chess without a lot of formal knowledge of openings but had some theory of the basics, this was an opening I naturally played often.

  • @treydavis6509
    @treydavis6509 3 місяці тому

    I honestly use this a lot. I actually slowly found this opening by trying to different possible positions. There is a bishop trap that tends to develop on the right side as well.

    This opening was "discovered" by a friend of mine, a really weak player - he played around 1300, all by his own. That was around 1990. He gave it the name in Greek which it roughly translates to "Ring Around the Rosie", not because it meant something, but I think mostly to show that he had no idea how he came about it, but is was funny that it worked wonders. He played it against a strong IM (later a GM) and he almost won! He won material but his inexperiense showed over the board.

  • @jasonwolfe2991

    Thank you for your video and humor, I'm 300 rated Blitz player and around 650 Rapid. I trying to learn openings (without cheese, don't do cheese, just want solid chess), a lot of blitz players play around 70-85% accuracy even at my level, sometimes 60ish (and on odd occasions sometimes less. So it is hard for me to progress I feel. This helps, I was trying Ponziani recently but my success rate is about 50-50, main problem is with black for me right now, I try Sicilian Defense most times. Think I'm just to old to learn lol. Not sure if you read this, but good content, just wanted to say thanks :)
