This was so in depth! Thank you so much
Amazing video. Thanks for making it 🙂
17:00 probably also important to note that Nf3 in this position runs into Nxe4, and if white plays Nxe4 there's d5 forking the bishop and knight. Doesn't win for black but gives them a slight edge. People at the 1500 level still fall into this
Omg can I please redo yall's music
In the Vienna Gambit, you looked only at lines if black plays Qf6 after white Qg4.
What does white do when black plays g6? That's the move I encounter most.
In the Copy Cat Variation @ 9:36 when White plays Qg4, why didn't you explain the Black response d5? Sure… White plays Qxg7, but you explained everything else. Wasn't this a beginner's class?
29:44 If black plays Nf6, Bg5 would be a mistake because: Bxf2+ runs into Kxf2, Ng4+, Ke1, Qxg5 and engine gives -2.6.
But great video with in depth explanation, well done.

Exellent instruction, at least as good as Gotham.
Sir, can you point to videos where you explain openings with the c3 knight after black has moved only one square up?

This is my favorite opening, even more so that people accept the Vienna Gambit and I have made a massive in-depth lichess study for the Vienna Game
I love this tutorial! It's been hard to find an openings video that explained things not like a Chess 100% glitchless speedrun, but rather a well-explained walkthrough. I've learnt a lot of the Vienna Opening with this and can recite up to like move 29 of a branch of this theory. Thanks a lot!
6:37 bishop to d4 would have been a better move you would have won a queen
I just watched the Gotham Chess tutorial on the same opening and yours in much more informative. You’re a much better teacher. Gotham is too fast and you explain everything. Just subscribed and will probably unsubscribe to Gotham.
I will have to start trying this out
Excellent lecture.
great video, thanks
nice
at 25:33 what if the knight forks the queen and the rook?
Im just at 20 min video and i go read coments and i must underline that this video is really instructive. Its not the first video of viena game i watch and so i want congratulate you already for this video it is being really good, focused on the matter not diverging. I like watching videos multiple times so the 2nd time you read the same joke or diverging thing sounds like boring and a waste of time. For this kind of videos is just better to just tell the theory and nothing else. Also the pace is good for thinking. But im sorry i know you are doing your best and trying so hard but i got distracted a lot by you looking at the wall (probably reading notes).
Still give you best congrats for video ! thank you!
Vienna Game (Positional Variation)- 27:30
11:09 i literally had the exact same position BUT it doesn´t win the queen… my opponent put his knight on f6 attacking my queen.. i just took his queen, he took mine and then i recaptured on g4 and was up a full piece.. he resigned regardless.. so thank you very much for this great video
The Middle Eastern rap music video sounding intro is so bizarre and out of place.
I naturally open with this most games as white and know nothing about openings. I guess its time to learn how to make the most of it.
Ummmm Ng4 also threatens fried liver so Bf2+ is bad

Why Risko, why not Monopolio?
As a 1000 elo player I play this a lot
Thanks, man and greetings from Vienna!

This opening makes me wanna talk about a parents love in an orphanage
Extraordinary!!
Why didn’t you cover g6 in the copycat variation
23:19 black queen to b8 doesnt work anyalyst failrd to see this because of discoverrd double check is actualy checkmate
5:45 Why defend a pawn at all if it's attacked 3 times, that should be the question. Certainly not with weakening your structure in any way, that's just silly. You aren't defending the pawn in the first place.
13:04 computer really doesn't like Ne7, prefers Ndf4.
21:56 there is a very interesting situation there. If Black doesn't capture the knight with the rook, instead moves the queen to e7, computer evaluation shows +2.2. However, the only moves that don't send the evaluation into negative territory are discovered check, then come back with the knight and repeat, basically resulting in a draw! How does White win from that position?
6:45 could you not just take the queen rather than the rook if it's on a dark square?
25:30 why don't you take with the knight? It would make a fork with the Queen and the rook. Knight can't be taken because of the bishop
6:34 Or you could do Bxc7+ And then next move Bxb6 to get you a queen
Why he took the rock and pawn istead of the queen
this is nasty bro
25:28 why black doesn't play knight to f2? Can someone explain?
But I do advise engines have advance and there is better moves so if you wanna study this video use engines to find better moves
