Gothamchess: lemme teach you the Trumpowsky.
Me: Cool.
Gotham: We're going to build a wall..
Me: Oh....

When you go +300 in bullet in one day, but opponents no longer fall for fried liver

*I've won, but at what cost*

:O me at 400 blitz

[guedkbx]

Gotham: plays average, basic move
me: I like your funny words, magic man.

[Gleepglurp]

I always play this opening, its the greatest most magnificent opening there is, some may even say the very best. Its a huge opening with many wonderful tactics that only the very best people know how to play

[TinyTales]

Fun Fact: The Trompowsky Attack was created by a brazilian chess player called Octávio Trompowsky

I forgot to watch this before playing Sean Passant

Another name for the Trompowsky at the lower level is the “oops I mouse slipped my London”

[dementia]

Funny how “The Trump” opening can get you into a stonewall structure.



Edit: Y’all in the replies need to learn how to chill. Its a fucking meme. Laugh and move on.

[RNDigitale]

Aah yes, we about to learn GM-level prep right here

[xwitekx]

alternative title: stonewall is such a great opening

Hello Gotham (Levy).... thank you for helping me with my anxiety.. i am looking for a job had some bad thoughts, a little bit of depression.
long ago i gave up on chess .. i hated it because i couldn't win a single game out of 30, i saw agadmator and i started to enjoy it more cause i started to win some matches ... but to rise from 700 to 1406 elo happened today btw in one month because of you is a great thing for me and i have to thank you from my heart and making me understand the meaning of chess and begin to analyze games and variations and teaching my friends and became the district's grandmaster is because of you, i appreciate everything you do for chess and for us and sorry for not buying your courses no money currently but for real i love you, love your content, love what you offer.
Please keep on the great work you don't know how much you help and influence me and people like me ....

I feel like I have to comment something since my entire life revolves around playing the trumpet and there is a trumpet in the thumbnail, but also it’s 4 a.m. and I should sleep

Octávio Figueira Trompowsky de Almeida, brazilian player ! Brazilian champion of 1939 . This opening is named so because of him.

[milksheek]

Me: Ohh, the Trompowsky!

Levy: ThE tRuMp

[ScottCabernet]

Thanks for this Levy! As a d4 player, it's great having a Tromp card up your sleeves and I know you've said that you played this a lot so it's great seeing your insights in this opening

[MrProvincial]

It's a tremendous opening. I've seen many openings, I have the best openings, this one is just terrific, folks.

[Matthew.Morcos]

Love how you explain the goals of the attack (damaging pawn structure early, creating stonewall, potential greek gift) rather than just the main lines
