Anna hates the hippo, but loves the cow 🐄 😄

[Dakiller]

Me who only plays kings gambit: Please don’t say king’s gambit

Them: KINGS GAMBIT

[agustinussutrisno]

Levy’s response to this based on his videos:
White: f3
Black: Damiano Defence

[levischorpioen]

Alex on stream: Chaos banshee
Alex in videos interviewing people: On her best behaviour
Just funny to see the juxtaposition xD

[Lichessdude]

The hippo can win a women's us championship but it still cannot win their respect :( poor hippopotamus

[medhanshjani]

The openings don’t matter if you’re Magnus

[kstalia]

The pirc defense??? that's the only one I know DX

[jamunatandi]

The cow opening is the worst opening seriously

[tfl]

Bruh at lower levels kings gambit is stressful asf to deal with

[macnolds]

The Pirc (i.e. for Black) is good, but really hard to play-- and for counterintuitive reasons. It's easy to find natural moves, but the natural move is usually wrong. It requires precise, situational, positional knowledge. Any slight misstep and you get crushed or are forced to play ugly moves until W crushes you. Also very easy to confuse with the much more effective KID.

As a pirc main, if i really look onto this objectively, yeah it sucks for high elos

[paularized]

I’m a titled player. And I also misspell the word “tilted” quite frequently.

[yoelmesfin]

I officially dislike Anna for hating my favorite offbeat opening.

[sebu]

King's, Englund and Pirc are in my experience some of the strongest openings you can play at under 1000 elo. Obviously for masters it's a different story

[РоманДубровин-лм]

Гроб никого не щадит! Задвинул с кайфом!

[CaptainHandsome]

The actual moves for each of the openings:

1.f4: Self Explanatory
Pirc Defense: 1.e4 d6
The Grob: 1.g4
King's Gambit: 1.e4 e5 2.f4
The Hippo: I'll be honest, I can't find an exact guide for the Hippo as white, but it's basically just only pushing pawns to rank 3 and developing your pieces to rank 2 (pawns to 6 and pieces to 7 as black)
Englund Gambit: 1.d4 e5?! (The Scandinavian but backwards)

[MCMANCHESS]

GM Grandelius: King's Gambit is the worst
Hikaru: proceeds to play it against Magnus

[flerbus]

was waiting for "stafford gambit"

[benji_bon]

Definitely the wayward queen attack, people play scholars mate hoping for a quick one, but no one ever falls for it, and it just puts you worse, you get forked or be way behind of development
