checkmate in eight moves

Good evening everyone. Why study on youtube a checkmate in eight moves, when you don't know how your opponent will play? They are bad videos that waste time and make you do useless efforts! Don't you think?

Don't you think there is at least some value in knowing the theory behind those kinds of setups? That's like saying you shouldn't learn opening lines that require your opponent to play a certain way because you don't know whether or not he will do so.

I don't recommend memorising unusual traps I recommend studying sneaky traps in openings most of them have traps in them with no counter attacks

Like stick to 1 opening then master the opening

If you think that a content creator is bad, just find another one. There's more chess content on the internet than you could watch in a lifetime.

Hi Bird-Seed, thanks for the reply. I agree with the first part of your reply. Not so with the second. You can't compare an opening with a whole game that will surely end with checkmate. The road is long and your opponent will always play differently than the black of the "eight-move check" proposed by YouTube.
