DONT BOO SPAM THE BRILLIANT EMOTE ‼️‼️‼️
Looks like everyone will talk about your Gambit.😏
👽❤
Hello Witty 😊
"I always suspected they [Gotham and Hikaru] are aliens anyway because they never sleep" lol. Igor has such a brilliant, dry wit that is so subtle I bet most viewers don't even catch it.
witty alien made this opening OP
He made the opening
So happy for witty to be getting all this recognition!
You and Witty are my favorite chess youtubers, and seeing you make this video made my day. 😁😁
well done.
thanks to witty alien for inventing this brilliant opening👽.
Nothing in chess is invented, they definitely popularized it again though
We did it!!! And Max is right ❤ Even tho I never knew about this move i just played 40k games last year and it was accidental
Why your ass got fired up bruh cool down @@MyBiPolarBearMax
Very fun, thanks Igor!
Amazing , a very tricky line
👽Cool, fun video! Love the graphics! Keep it coming.
Brilliant!!!!
Thanks sir for this new informative post🎉❤
Thank you sir. 💪💪💪
Very funny, thanks 😅
You teach so well. Not sure if you do private lessons, but k would be interested
Great teacher 👏 I have learned so much from you !! Thank you ❤
❤
Thanks for the informative video. I am wondering if most of this can be avoided by simply playing 5... c5 instead of advancing the h-pawn.
Sweeet, thank you 🎉

I’ve been doing this for a while, now I have a real strategy. Thank you sir!
It's interesting the video of gotham is suggesting to defend the D4 pawn with c3 so it's different that here it isn't a problem. Could you tell me if the differents of move order how does affect the effectivity of the opening?
The attention this opening gets is well deserved!
12:55 what do u think about playing g6 or g5 giving the king a dark square to hide on
I will try to use this Gamit into my Chess Competition, wish me good luck!
Please learn endgame too. Thanks 🙏
Yay witty amen. You the man or should I say fellow alien hehe.
Amazing trap
Alien gambit is Really tricky so many traps and weakness just by a knight sacrifice
What is the name of the defense against this I didn’t hear
Thanks to the alien gambit refutation, it is demonstrated that caro-kann defence is just a deferred sicilian
Von Henning Shara gambit explanation please..
How do you play against 4. knight d7?
Can you make a video on how to punish players that trade immediately for no reason
Witty Alien popularized this opening and streams it regularly.
Boo spam the brilliant emote!
What if the Black used the bishop to protect that square instead of playing H6?
Don't booo spam the brilliant emote 🗣️
leta go
Everyone all you need to do is look what stockfish say I have stockfish 16 and he gives 3 plus for black don’t know why everyone find it that hard just look at stockfish
The Red Defense that existed 200 million years got me laughing!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
*rat defense
Nakamura an alien because he never sleeps. Hilarious.
Aliens were real ?😮
I felt like Hikaru was laughing at me personally lol, I thought Bishop to e6 was good
Alieeeeeeeennnnnn
Now to play about 50000 games before someone finally plays the caro
after knight g5 what is my opponent play queend5
Use tactics 😂
elo ?
@@c4dclashersgaming994 elo for the person playing Qd5? I'd guess 420 blitz.
C4 to answer Qd5? Or Nf3? Qd5 doesn't threaten anything.
@@abcsorensen i just asking u a question what's your elo
A refutation…. for the refutation…. 😂
Alien Gambit: so hot right now 💅
Ayyy lmao
They should have called it "the 1200 ELO Gambit". I'd be more than happy if a GM would play this "gambit" against me. Why would you blunder your knight on f7 and hope that the opponent will play bad after being up a knight?
Ayy lmao
8.19 face this lol annoying person didnt know how to follow up and i was like no no no survived but didnt like the line at all
