My first game playing this opening I absolutely destroyed my opponent, played nearly exactly the same as one of the lines, got his own knight trapped in the corner too.
I learned Vienna from your sample mastercourse, gained 100 rating points and have never stopped playing it since then.
Just tried this opening now and I can confirm it’s a lot of fun.
And suddenly everyone on low ladder will either play this or play best move against it
Brother i can‘t hold myself back from playing the vienna when i see 1 e4 e5
7:18 en passant🤔
i love you
i am 800 elo and i used this opening against a level 6 engine and absolutely destroyed it
Ponziani countergambit for black tho, If played correctly then my god black is in a good position, A tricky line for a few cos it isnt the most common but still descant for some notoriously talented beginners/intermediate players
Changed title?
stop exposing my secrets
the problem is everyone else watchs levy so when i try this online my opponent will be like : HAHA.
PERFECT TIMING
I'm glad I watched this
I lost 6 games in a row after watching this video. Back to drawing board ♟️
Congratulations 🎉👏
Wont work for me. Is there an opening for absolute fucking idiots?
12:50 couldn't u trap his queen with pawn to b4?
you missed forced en passant at 7:14
Hi Levy. Great video as always, but I have a question. My book of chess openings say that Ponziani is a not played anymore in high level because after 3… Nf6 4. d4 Nxe4 5. d5 Bc5 6. dxc6 Bxf2+ 7. Ke2 Bb6 8. Qd5 Nf2 9. cxb7 Bxb7 10. Qxb7 Nxh1 Black is now completly winning. And if Black play 3… d5 4. Bb5 dxe4 5. Nxe5 Qg5 6. Qa4 Qxg2 7. Rf1 Bh3 8. Bxc6+ bxc6 9. Qxc6+ Kd8 10. Qxa8+ Ke7 11. Kd1 Qxf1+ 12. Kc2 is a chaotic but winning position for Black too. So, if my opponent knows theory, I shouldn't play it right?
To every sarcastic commenter on this video:
Is this opening actually good or not?
(I don't know since I am a newb)
Do u speak russian?!
I have a game for you to send it’s a 300 Elo
Levy i swear to god if the next video doesn't have benji in it i might break something.
I’ve been accidentally playing this as my main opening for ages without realising what it was😂
I would really love it if you made some more chess history videos. A video on the Viswanathan Anand-Vladimir Kramnik world championship would be awesome
He just needs to get hella buff then he would be the toppers of g’s
Gotham is so good that he has the best chess rating and is GM
Used this to win against mala Yousafzai ☻☻
hey levy. can you please play the sebastian chessAI? in his chanel and you will see the vid of "Coding adventure: Chess" and you can download it in the videos description
Eric rosen taught me already youre late levy

7:13 get bricked
at 18:25
why can't he block with the queen?
I was playing online and people were doing c3 instead of people regularly doing knight to c3 and i didn’t know why until i saw this 💀
7:13 only one problem…
En passant is always forced
