My rapid rating is 865 but I just had the best game ever with no mistakes, misses, inaccuracies or blunders! The first game didn't go as planned as I didn't quite understand this opening, but the following games were incredible!. this opening puts you in a great position and with focusing and avoiding mistakes it's nearly unstoppable for beginners or maybe even intermediate players. It's like magic! Thank you very much bro, you are the best! keep it up✌

    4 knights opening against Jobova London's fried liver-style variation leads to an even game with the e pawn shoved in the bishop's face. Shove that e-pawn out!

    thought process after Bf4. What are the threats? Nc6 blocks my c pawn and allows Nb5, similar to the fried liver attack, so best avoided. e6 preparing Bb4 - O-O is probably best; downside: blocks the QB, but there's plenty of time to fix that. If you play a3-b4, chasing the B, you open up the queenside, when white's long-term plan is O-O-O with a kingside attack, and my B ends up nicely placed on b6. So you aren't going to do that, and your N stays pinned while I threaten Ne5. These "magical" opening lines are all unsound, and even a beginner can calculate 2-3 moves. Best advice for beginners is to pick one opening as white and study it thoroughly, either the QGD, or the Ruy Lopez, and one defence against the most common openings: King's Indian against d4, Sicilian aganst e4. I'm not titled, but a fairly decent club player, and a normal sound opening will win against lower-rated players most of the time, without fancy trickery. Though this is enteratining, like the fried liver..

Contrast that to how respectful and integrated a personality DANNIEL NARODITSKY is with beginners. Actually says a lot about your personality . I know though you could argue it's for content etc however I believe the choice to present in this way still says something of who you are. In a way it shows how socially intelligent you are ,you know emotional intelligence and all that

    @6:40 Instead of 22.Qxg7 picking up the Rook but prolonging the game it's mate in 3 with either 22.Qd7+ Kf8 23.Rc8+ Nxc8 then Qe8 mates or if 23..Ne8 then 24.Rxe8 and Qxe8 mates and finally 2 mate in 4 if 23..Qd8 then 24.

    At 3:00 in this position I would play bishop C7 and when queen goes E8 I would jump in B6 with the Knight checking the King and taking the Bishop on C8 on the next move, playable???
