This guy invented a chess opening… and it's actually really good.

Hello, Maxim. Hello, Anna. We meet in Paris. Yeah, it's our first time in Paris. Together. Yeah. At the same time, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yes, but I've met you before. I met you in the Olympiad a few years ago, I remember. Olympiad, yeah, we meet in Budapest. In Budapest, yeah, exactly, yeah. So this is the second time we meet. Yeah, and maybe next time in Budapest or in some other country, we'll see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you going? Yeah. Yeah, me too. Awesome. Okay, so you came up with this opening, the beaver's claw, and this was a big controversy in my channel because I came up, oh, yeah, we're having some people that are watching right now that are, yeah, that know about this, but yeah, so I came up with an opening which I thought was so cool, the bull opening. I was so excited about this, but you outsmarted me because you'd already thought about this years ago. Yeah, already six years ago. Yeah. I played it first time. Do you want to show it? Can you show me? Like, do you want to explain it? I want to show you one trap. Okay. In beaver claw against London system. Okay. After d4, we play h5, bishop to 4, h4, and very logical move, e3. Yeah, and this is the beaver's claw now. Yeah. And this move already lost for white. Okay, can I guess? Can I guess? Yeah, yeah. Okay, it loses because, because, because, because, wait, no. Look very logical for white. Looks so good for white. Ah. Wow, brilliant move. Yes. Because g5. Yeah. If this, yeah, this thing, and after this, g5 and bishop loss. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Good, good trap. Thank you. This is a very good trap. Yeah, I like this. But one problem, because it's only one trap in beaver claw. Okay. It's the only trap. Yeah. Okay. Okay, so should we do, do you want to play the beaver's claw against me in one game, and then I can teach you the cow opening, and I can play the cow opening against you? Yeah, maybe you know trap in cow opening. No. There are no traps in, there are no traps in the cow opening. You see, the cow opening, the thing is here, that it's, it's very, you know, I'm not going to use the word passive, but it's very like you're holding back, right? So there's no traps. However, it's very easy for the opponent to, you know, really try to win very quickly, and then the king becomes a bit weak, and then you can find a way of winning against the king. But there's no immediate trap, no. Yeah, yeah, of course. Okay. But the thing is that I think that your opening is really good against my cow opening. Maybe. And it's good against your cow opening. What do you mean everything is good? What the hell? Okay. But I have an idea about bull opening. Okay. How can it be seen? Like this, maybe. And these are like the horns of the bull? Yeah. Okay, so you want this. Okay, so should this be, I have an idea. How about we have a, this is our opening together. The bull opening is both of our opening. Because it's a mix of, well, both are your moves, actually. But together it's a separate opening. Okay, it's a separate opening. Okay. I like this. I need to try it, though. I need to study it a little bit before I can coin it the bull opening. But I'll study it a little bit. Yeah, let's try it in your stream. Yeah? Maybe it's a good idea. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so Maxim, what's your rating? On chess.com right now, 2700. Ah, you're 2700. Yeah. In blitz. Yeah. And you? Um, yes. Do you know? I remember your rating when we played about 2300 or 2400. It's now 2450. Ooh. Mm-hmm. It's going up. You improve your skills. You know, in one day I went up 120 points in blitz. Wow. Isn't that crazy? It's after meeting with me, yeah? It's after the bull opening, yes. It was a week ago. I'm not sure if you're the reason, Maxim, but we can say that you are. Okay. Okay? This will be a really dangerous game for me. Okay, so do you want me to play the cow opening or something else? Maybe first game, cow opening against Beaverclaw, and then nothing. All right, so let's do cow opening versus Beaverclaw. Yeah, let's go. Official match. All right, good luck. Good luck. Okay. Let's go. Ah, you're going. Ah, you're doing it this way. Okay, I'll just. No, but, okay, but are you going to. Wait, but you're stopping my cow. I'm already winning. No, I have a problem. No. Wait, this is a. It's the best opening against cow opening. You already stopped it. What? Trap against cow opening. Good luck. What do I do? Okay, just take the center. I don't care. I already closed cow opening. It didn't even become the cow opening. Okay, but I have an idea. I don't mind this. I don't mind it, I think. Because I can do maybe this. Wow, it's a cylinder fence. Yeah, yeah, we can say that that's what this is. Oh, no, you know what I want to do. Oh, yeah. Good, good way for nice here. I just want to say that typically if somebody does this against you, it's not the problem with the cow. The problem is that now I wanted to fulfill the cow. At this point, if someone's doing this, we do different things. I just want to say that. Yeah, it's a problem with me. Yes. Every time. Exactly. My girlfriend says me every time. She says the same thing. All problems with you. Okay, maybe here. Oh, I only have a minute 50. Okay. Are you a bullet player as well? Do you play really fast chess? I have one bullet with 2700 too. Oh, okay. And you? 2700. No, we don't talk about my bullet. My bullet is not... You don't have bullet, you have bull. Exactly. That's why I needed to create the bull. But also because I'm from Spain. You know, I grew up with bulls. Spain? Ah, yeah. You live in Spain right now? No, I live in Sweden, but I was born in Spain. Ah. Yeah. Half Spanish, half Swedish. I was seeing post about your language, Spanish. You learn language. Yeah, I speak Spanish. Yeah, yeah. Do you speak Spanish? No. Listen, I'm getting you down on time. This is awesome. Despacito, despacito. Yes, I would continue that song, but I don't think it's appropriate. So, I'm not going to continue that song. But, yes, it's a good song. That's everything what I know in Spain. Despacito, despacito, despacito, despacito. Despacito. Uh-oh, I should have gone somewhere else. Despacito. Despacito, despacito. Despacito. This song is actually a bit distracting. You think I'm a good singer, yeah? I'm sure. Listen, I think you're a great chess player. I'm sure you have many talents, but I don't know if singing is good. Not in this case, yes. I understand. Not my favorite talent, yeah. I agree with you. No, I mean, I'm terrible at singing, too. So, you know, I understand. Wow. Okay, now I'm more talented than you. Wow. Oh, my gosh. She played so hard. So strong. You thought this was going to be an easy one? Okay, let's see. No, I don't want to change my mind. Not right now. You speak really fast. You speak so fast. I speak? I speak not so good. No, but you're the fast player. Now we're facing some problems, yeah? No problems. I'm not sure. You already can't cut it. Stop it! Okay. Like a fork. Yeah, I see this fork. This is not a happy fork. Okay, but it's... Disrespect. Okay, I think you deserve to win that, but... Draw. But it's a draw, I guess. I guess it's an official draw. Oh, my, that was crazy. I thought I had a good position and then it just came... I missed these pawns. I was doing something too much with the knight. Yeah, you had a good position one time, yeah.
