The Vienna Game is a 1.e4 opening for White. Compared to other 1.e4 openings, the Vienna is much less common but theoretically sound.

my thoughts exactly

@f.d.3289 3 месяца назад

it does get mine... i actually played the King's Gambit when I realized that I really like the so-called Mason-Keres variation (2...exf4 3.Nc3). And then I thought hey, why not play Nc3 first. And actually I have gotten interested in the Jobava-London where you also play 2.Nc3. Very underrated move, this 2.Nc3 :)

Good Lecture, and very good choice of games. In French it is called Partie Viennoise and une viennoise is also a pastry.

@thenoblegnuwildebeest3625 3 месяца назад

The Austrian's greatest trick has been convincing the world that Hitler was German and Beethoven was Viennese.

Wasn't that Mozart (who was German by birth)?

As a Vienna enjoyer, I was delighted by the lecture and learned quite a lot. I usually like to play either the Gambit or just go into a Vienna Hybrid, gonna look into some of these other stuff. It's refreshing to see someone talk positively about the Vienna. The general sensus seems to be, if it's not popular it's bad, cause if it was good it would be popular. It reminds me of a lecture that you made about the Scotch, where noone was playing it until Kasparov started demolishing everyone with it. So it really might be a fashion thing, until then, Im happy staying under the radar. If anything, in my opinion (which is worth nothing) the Vienna could be seen as a great opening for beginners because of the lack of theory. You actually have to learn to play the game instead of just relying on theory.

heeey how nice, another opening lecture by my favourite GM Ben Finegold, plus it's about my favourite 1.e4 opening with White :)

@kodybrown9228 3 месяца назад

d3 may be the third best move but it’s definitely the most fun.

@howardgraff4084 3 месяца назад

Thanks Ben. A very good lecture that is worth more than one viewing. (BTW, you forgot to mention that I'm not Ben Finegold.)

@davewolf6256 3 месяца назад

This is important for me because I play the Vienna 99% of the time I open--but my understanding of the theory is garbage.

@julianpilbrow4963 3 месяца назад

This is taking way too long and is the reason why they banned 2-way-coms because people can press their eyes right up against the LCD.

@calvinthegreat69 3 месяца назад

A couple years ago I gained about 300 rating points online with the 3. bc4 variation. I'm pretty low rated so I found it very common to either see people over extend trying to target the bishop or I'd have time to f4, nf3, and castle. If you can set that up, you can get a really nice king side attack. Would recommend at low ratings.

@JeffPHamm 3 месяца назад

I enjoyed this a lot. You touch upon some interesting ideas that I think often get overlooked, specifically the idea of "fashion" in terms of openings chosen by top GMs being different from the "objective truth" of an opening. I think it would be interesting to hear your own personal thoughts on openings/lines that are underplayed relative to their ... quality? (objectively they are good, but they get played far less than perhaps they should type thing). That's sort of one message of this lecture, but it's specific to the Vienna. I'm sure it's not the only one.

I just learned the Vienna and checkmated a real GM. I was using Stockfish though. I kid, I kid. I never learned the Vienna.

@mcronrn 3 месяца назад

There are fun lines where the Vienna transposes to the Nc3 (??) Kings Gambit Accepted… 😳🤣

Eric Schiller's Wikipedia article is one hell of a read. FWIW I knew him slightly, and he was nice to me the few times we interacted.

@MuseseekerMan 3 месяца назад

As a Vienna player myself I love Bc4 after Nc6. I'm surprised you didn't cover it.

@nunosantos4217 3 месяца назад

I play those lines as well. I think he didn't cover it because those aren't "true" Viennas and usually will go into Vienna-Berlin Hybrids (with moves like d3 and/or f4 and some point)

@Sandfox07 3 месяца назад

My friend also really likes playing that, he actually switched to the bishops opening because you can easily transpose, but you also have the option of not comitting Nc3. You could try it out too if you want

why do you always look so sad

@baoboumusic 3 месяца назад

Chess players are always sad. If you lose you're sad because you probably blundered, if you draw you're sad because you could have won, and if you win because you could have won quicker.
