  My personal favourite is the King&apos;s Indian Defense. There&apos;s many ways to use it, the opening creates a great defense for your King, and it&apos;s overall just a great setup to play off of.

  I have never played a single game of chess, so this feels like I’ve sat down in the wrong lecture in college but am too nervous to leave so I just sit and listen

  Excellent video Gotham :) I am learning a lot from you :) I think you are becoming the major force of Youtube, and a great credit to you for your huge consistent efforts and passion. I guess you may be a fan of British Grandmaster Julian Hodgson - he won the British chess championship a few times with the Trompovsky as a key weapon of choice. I am also a fan of the Leningrad Dutch but had a heartbreaking loss with it once and didn&apos;t play it so much after. Your analogy with the reversed Closed Sicilian is encouraging. I am also a fan of the Vienna game :) &nbsp;We do seem to share some favorites. Cheers, K

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFod-ozimmM&amp;t=491">8:11</a> I watched Levy&apos;s Vienna video, it&apos;s one of the only openings I&apos;ve used since. The Vienna is incredible and I love it so much. Learn it, please.
