My 6+ Hour Hippo Course! thechessgiant.gumroad.com/l/hippopotamusdefensecourse

@jay-elshepherd357 Год назад

I don't typically watch many RU-vid videos of chess being explained, but... my dude, you knocked this out of the park. Hands down -- the voice, the pacing, the layered content. I loved literally everything about this video.

@TheChessGiant Год назад

Thank you my brotha! I appreciate this a ton. Glad to help and excited to drop more content! Let me know if there's any videos in particular you'd want to see!

@dennisharrell2236 2 года назад

I just noticed the details in the thumbnail, the charging hippo tossing up the chessboard and scattering the pieces. I love it!

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Hey Dennis! Thanks for seeing that, and credit to my guy Ian Rohan Media for the thumbnails! He puts a ton of effort in.

@yveslarochelle101 2 года назад

Your hippo videos are great

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Thanks! Ya it's been super fun, I'm working on 4 more Hippo videos to throw out there!

@fanoflanguages7278 2 года назад

The hippo strikes again. The hippo may seem like a slow, passive opening, but appearances can be deceiving. The hippo can become aggressive very quickly as this game demonstrates.

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Yessir! Ya many see it as too passive, but really we simply aren't looking to win the game in 10 moves. After this though, are pieces are ready to activate and put a ton of pressure on the opponent's king.

@manuelrojobenites3687 2 года назад

Could you do a video about the Latvian Gambit and or The Chigorin Defense?

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Hey Matthew, I've actually made videos on both of these! Here they are: Chigorin Defense - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CYxb9Mms2cQ.html Latvian Gambit - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n-roL54_oQ4.html Hope you find these helpful!

I had to laugh at your opening remarks. I used to work with a guy from South Africa who told me about a time he went on a safari in Africa once and literally had a Hippopotamus running at him and the guide he was with at 30 mph!! He said the Guide just jumped in the Hippo's path and waved his arms in the air and shouted "STOP" and the Hippo literally stopped in its tracks and turned around and went away. He said he asked the Guide how he knew that would cause the Hippo to stop? The guide said he didn't. That was the only thing he could think to do. 😀

@TheChessGiant 11 месяцев назад

Woah. That's intense! Crazy how they can run so fast with all that body weight! If I ever see a Hippo, I'm not going to go pet it. That's for sure.

@hareldavidson738 2 года назад

can you do a video in the future regarding how to handle 3+ pawn center while playing the hippo(A.K.A for example playing with black vs d4,e4 and f4 or c4, d4 and e4 or even all for of those pawns)

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Hey Harel, great idea! I will get this going.

@walterbrownstone8017 10 месяцев назад

This is the perfect example of why it's possible to get another title with the hippo! High rated players don't take it seriously and they regret it!

@nenadgacesa871 10 месяцев назад

Nice work and channel. Greetings from Serbia!

@billi9230 2 года назад

You absolutly love the hippo, dont you?

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Yes. No way to lie out of this one.

@FugginDogg 2 года назад

Hikaru is at 2300 playing the hippo with no queen

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Absolutely crazy! Still hard for me to wrap my brain around that one.

@unseenclips6448 2 года назад

Your voice is soothing.

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Thanks brotha hahaha

@giakhangdeptraivocungtan 2 года назад

I know a guy who always play the Czech Defense and he'll transpose to the Old Indian if needed. He has 20+ years of experience so playing into his prep is not a good idea. Do you have any good lines to play against him? It can be dubious but don't be too losing

@quentincastroniemann7530 2 года назад

Tbh isn't this whole opening close to being losing? I don't think you should invent something here. I don't know which move order he plays, but if you just play in appropriate order d4 ,c4 ,e4 ,Nc3 ,Nf3, Be2, O-O, Qc2, Rd1, Rb1 followed by b4, a4 and probably even h3 and Be3, then I don't see any problems. Your pieces will be much more active and then complications should always favor you.

@giakhangdeptraivocungtan 2 года назад

@@quentincastroniemann7530 The guy I'm talking about has beaten many 2300+'s in the online chess group I'm in. It will be easy in rapid or classical but this guy mainly plays bullet and sometimes blitz. He's very good with this opening, it can be so deadly for anyone if played incorrectly for just a few moves

@quentincastroniemann7530 2 года назад

@@giakhangdeptraivocungtan I see. The same goes for all modern/pirc Setups. Objectively they are not super great, but you can't really prove that in a blitz or bullet game, because it's very tricky and one can easily underestimate counterplay and then lose. That's also why players like Nakamura or Carlsen are playing these dubious openings. You just can't refute them with no time... However I always try to play the best moves as White, disregarding the time control. I think this makes you a better player overall. And the more often you play it the more you will avoid those tactics and eventually get some flawless wins.

@icancu9680 2 года назад

Hi! Would it be possible for you to cover my game?

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Of course! Drop a link to your game(s) in the comment section or email it to me at "thechessgiant@gmail.com" - thanks! ALSO, if you do post a game in the comments just make sure the RU-vid algorithm doesn't shut it down. Idk some links go through and others don't for some reason.
