Today we look at a new chess opening. We take a look at the Bird’s Opening which is the 6th most popular opening, although rarely played in comparison. White tries to focus on the center by controlling the dark squares while black tries to focus on the light squares. For analysis on other openings check out the website at www.thechesswebsite.com

If I wanted to play with you…would I be shamed? lmao, or taught?
taught
are you sure this is the 6 most popular opening, i cant believe its more popular than the french, the sicilian, the caro kann, the modern, the pirc, the slav, the qg, the kings indian and the others
i dont think d4 is such a bad move you get into a verry favorable colle zuckertort structure
i’m sure. Keep in mind that defenses aren’t considered openings. They are considered defenses. You are naming lots of defenses.
hey if you don’t mind me asking, what’s the difference between and opening a defense, and a gambit?
oh yea and a tactic
i mean openings are really considered white’s openings. There are the most popular openings and then the most popular defenses. The birds opening is the 6 most popular opening for white.
yes endgame is verry important, but most endgame books miss vary important stuff btw thanks for the video and with openings yeah i had a bad day and wanted to start an argument even so i think if its a defence its still the name of the opening
they are all name of openings. a gambit is when someone offers to sacrifice a pawn, but i really have no clue why some openings are called defences and others are not
Yo what’s the song you play at the beginning of every video.
white normally play b3 at 4:30 so he can pin the c6 knight if black develope it .
bishop on e2 is not the best move for bird!
White’s play is an opening, black’s is a defense. A gambit is offering material ( piece or pawn ) for a possible advantage in position,development or attack.
First time i played with this strat, i won, i like the play style, only thing i did wrong was i didnt develop my B1 kngiht, thus trapping my A1 rook and not allowing him to develop
There will be a Day
Good video and explanation: I live in Italy so I have know how to pronounce some words, there was a word that is troubling me: Fianchetto. It is not pronounced with a ‘c’ like cheese but a hard ‘c’.
KEEP UP THOSE GOOD VIDEOS WE LOVE THEM!!!!
P.S. Fianchetto is pronounced like fianketto
i do not recommened this openeing
its shitty and oily and fucked
if black is familiar with the ”bird”, then white hasnt got a chance!!
The opening are the first moves of white, the defence are the same but the moves are done by the black, and a gambit is when you offer a pawn in the opening, frecuently for a fast develop of the minor pieces (knights and bishops), for a trap, open lines, etc.
btw at 4:29 instead of moving the bishop to e2 you could checkmate by moving it to b5 in this case
transposing into a King’s Gambit is a bad idea. First because the From’s Gambit has no advantage. Best play on both sides Black is just down material.
@IdkScapeFilms A gambit is a sacrifice in the opening, giving up material (usually a pawn) in order to expedite development in order to gain a positional advantage and eventually regain the material in a favourable manner.
A defense is simply a line chosen by Black to defend an opening. If you reverse colours, the line then becomes an attack. Ex: King’s Indian Defense/Attack
An opening is simply a line chosen by White to start the game.
@thechesswebsite this is the 6th most popular “first” move by White. The wording you use is misleading. It is also misleading to use the term popular because 1. f4 is anything but.
e4 and d4 represent 66% of chess games played at the top levels.
f4 is more popular at the club level because seldom do the words “best defence” have any bearing there.
uhmmm can i ask a queston?? what is the best move in opening, defense and attack?? im new in chess
