Chess Openings: Learn to Play the Owen's Defense!

There are many popular chess openings for black against e4 such as the French Defense, Pirc Defense, Scandinavian Defense, Caro-Kann Defense, Sicilian Defense, Nimzowitsch Defense, Alekhine Defense. However, usually white is prepared for all of these chess openings for black, and they take a ton of time to learn the opening theory. Is there a move we can play as black that takes white by surprise but still holds that high level of chess strategy? The answer is yes, and in today's video I'll be showing you the Owen's Defense, a dangerous and fun chess opening for black against e4. By playing b6 on the first move, we want to fianchetto our bishop on b7 and put immediate pressure on the e4 pawn. We will then develop our pieces, aggressively fight for counterplay, and sometimes look to checkmate the opponent's king. The first segment of this Owen's Defense chess video will be covering the chess strategy, chess principles, chess ideas, chess moves, chess tips, chess tricks, chess traps, and secret checkmate strategy. When playing chess openings, it's important to not only know the chess opening theory, but chess opening grandmaster games. This is vital because we want to see the Owen's Defense in action, and we will do just that by analyzing a game played by Magnus Carlsen when he played 1. ... b6 in 2017 and used it to defeat an elite chess grandmaster. Chess opening principles, chess opening ideas, chess opening strategy, and chess opening theory are important for improving one's chess and getting good middlegame positions. This is also a good chess opening for beginners, as it highlights good chess strategy. Whether you are a chess beginner or chess grandmaster, we hope you enjoy learning about this strong chess opening against e4!
