i'm concerned for your plant. do you just put it there for filming? cause there's no way it gets enough light there lol
This was a good video except how you kept transposing all the positions into some kind of l*ndon system 🤢. Isn't this supposed to be a family channel?
Lets be honest. We watched this vid cuz Keti is the commenantor in this vid.
I wouldve scrolled right past it if it wasnt her.
>worst move: f3
Ben Finegold approves this video
Best opening is Bongcloud ofc. No questions asked with the e4, Ke2 setup
According to stockfish worst opening move is 1. g4 by far
Barnes opening or gtfo
Teach f3 to kids and it'll make them love chess a lot!!!
Madloba keti nice video 👍 very educational
Rule number 1 there is no wrong move in chess.
Thank you. I like the kings gambit
The Cow opening and my opening is missing. 😗😄
Maybe we will see that included in the future.
e4 "the best by test!" 🤣
Scandinavian defence erasure. John Bartholomew in pieces.
I just call it van krujis
D2-D4, Queen's pawn opening, was the opening for the first game that I won in chess. It was against my first chess computer back in 1983. I still tried it at time but have gone back more commonly to E2-E4, Kings Pawn opening.
Wtf are those My Little Pony bots
Very beauty host, she was on World championship too. This was very educational actually
Best first move is resign
She really put the Polish opening above the Bird? WTF?
Pretty sure you pronounced "Krujs" correctly but I think "Van't" is pronounced like "Vannt" or "Wannt" (rhymes with plant)
SPOILER ALERT: It's not every opening
Just mate or win anyhow😂, that's the best feeling, because playing step by step and losing on time or by checkmate hurts gravely.
Thanks I like this video so much❤
What about 1 e4 2 d4
better teacher than Levy Lmao
it did seem as she doesent like modern approaches to much for black xDD
Hearing that pronunciation was amazing lol
No or very few English words contain the 'ui' sound like in Dutch, making it difficult for many to pronounce correctly
Apart form that one it was a very accurate pronunciation though

Mathematically, 1.g4 should be the worst first move although vs. humans it does have playability. However, 1.g4 basically surrenders short-castles (or you have to do a lot of repair work for the structure at least), doesnt fight for the center, pawns cannot move back (hence Na3 is actually not THAT terrible as you can just reroute the knight later, you "just" lose a tempo) and it takes you ages to long-castle or stabilize. No other move gives up that much in one go. Even the flank pawn moves 1.h4 or 1.a4 have more merrit as you want to play these moves in a lot of positions anyway at some point to either push to attack your opponents castled king or free up the rooks.
Did I miss the English?
Stockfish: Stupid humans don't understand h4
Keti is gorgeous !
Why isn't 1.NH3 called the Ammonia attack?
Nicely explained.
The disrespect! Putting the English in the good moves category! Correct it asap.
Most important aspect of any gambit is to appear vulnerable and lure the adversary to become over confident and commit mistakes after mistakes.
You also missed Monkeys Bum opening
Vahn tkraus is the closest English equivalent
Keti, what's your favourite position?
Former NM here.
I think the ideas you have are pretty good for starting players, and definitely good theory for ANY player, but for F4, and B4, e3 and d3 I think there are better ways to utilize these moves. For instance after e3, you can sometimes transition into a Lasker bird variation, while at the same time transition into something depending on if black responds with 1. E5. For d3, why not play g3 after?? For one it sets up a developing piece while safeguarding the king as well, after black plays 2. E5 (assuming he played 1. D5) white can choose many different 3rd moves, I personally like 3. A3, followed by hopefully b4, and then developing the other bishop on b2.
The polish opening, just a reminder to mention that because of such move, now black can not play Nc6 for the entire game, as if he does (say the second move after 1. B4-E5 2. Bb2) if Nc6? B5! Blacks knight is in a lot of trouble.
Just some insight from a retired player
After knight c3, no matter the reply, next move E4. The Van Geet, or Dunst. D4 on second move, into London systems.
well, for any of the 20 moves. Black has 20 responses. Meaning there is a follow up video about all 400 of them soon.
1:51 вонзил коготь бобра!
6:12 задвинул! гроб не щадит никого!
1. e4
2. d4
3. kf3
4. c4
5. f4
everything else is unorthodox or just bad including kc3, e3, d3. Honestly I'd rather play the grob or the polish than those tbh. at least the grob is fun to play.
Close
Meanwhile me: always playing Na3 to remove any potential prep and enjoy the game 😂
The first non italian streamer – commentator that pronounce right fianchetto. Compliments!
Why is 1.a3 a passing move but 1.h3 is a 'never do this' move?
