00:00By the bishop opening bishop c4 all sorts of gambits
00:04Open games and of course then classical Rui Lopez
00:08So this is with Bishop b5, but then of course Bishop c4 and then heaven's gambit
00:14Which by the way I played as as the world champion quite successfully
00:19quite a few times against players as strong as Vichy Hennel
00:23And I would say it's a natural choice for most of the young players
00:33Because when you're young you want to play something sharp something interesting something exciting
00:38You are not afraid of
00:41sacrificing some material
00:43But some players are not happy even at early age to do that
00:47They can play d4 they can even play c4 which I think it's not
00:52As useful at early stage, so that's why my first recommendation stick with e4 or d4 just you know don't try to
01:01sort of enlarge the scope of your of your investigation
01:04e4 if you want to be more open more aggressive more dynamic or d4 and by the way with this development of modern theory
01:11Even after e4 you can play something quiet and positional like for instance
01:15You can play after knight f3 knight c6 you can play bishop c4 d3 c3 so quiet Italian
01:23Or you can play quite you know aggressive
01:25openings after d4 for instance d4
01:28Say knight f6 c4 e6 knight c3 bishop before
01:32It's in Nimsu Indian classical you can play f3 some very sharp moves
01:36So that's why it's it's not all it's not all being decided by the first move what kind of
01:45position you want to to to reach
01:48but still as a general rule e4 is more aggressive it opens the game
01:56almost immediately
01:58while d4
