why do almost all chess utubers claim their openings are the only one that wins 80% of the time

why do almost all the u tubers that push openings all claim that their opening is the only one you need to get up to 80 % win rates ---how can they all lie so much about chess openings---middle game---- end games --when after you try them nothing improves  how can they play on the two main chess sites and still still (figuratively) look people in the eye and claim these ridiculous claims  masters or not --are all the teachers on utube liars or are their just many snake oil salesmen in chess also  women---they too  are in some cases worse as they sometimes put on airs of a sexy chess player front  mainly foriegn types to entice you to sign up to their channel or website -- why so many fraudish type people in chess--- where are simple/plain type  u tubers instructors that give basic lessons with fundamental  steps to improvement over the long haul - they are as bad as all the ebay utubers claiming they make hugh incomes and you too can -----all bull nothing farther  form  the truth- yet i still watch all these chess utubers hoping to find a answer to get me better ----- so much frustration ---  

yes i know its my fault for watching and clicking but i feel like a jonestown resident sometimes  and iam taking the koolaid like everyone esle 

youtube is filled with clickbait trash that should be removed for fraud.

What the stafford gambit, hope your not slagging that little gem off. I played that for 100 games, and it worked, once. Well worth it, losing most of my games, just to see it come off that single time.

Well, it all just matters.

First off, they are frauds. Most of them, anyway.

Second, it is true that some openings are better than others. It's good to start with basic but solid openings. Remember the main points of an opening: to control the center (directly or indirectly), to develop your pieces, and to castle your king so it is safe. Basically, you want openings that will set you up for success in the middlegame and give your opponent a tough time.

I can see that your rating is like 100, but that's perfectly ok! Everybody starts there! But eventually you can grow and become like me! (over 1000 rapid rating).

I play the Queen's Gambit and Catalan as white, as well as the Sicilian Dragon and Old Indian as Black. They're solid and allow my pieces to control a good portion of the board, which can frustrate my opponents to the point where they make a mistake for me to capitalize on.

Here's my final insight:

The opening is important, but not the most important thing. Play basic, solid openings and work on your tactics first. Then, expand your endgame (I've spent a lot of time practicing my rook v rook engames, it really pays off and gets me those wins) and work on positional play/ tidying up the middlegame. Finally, you can go back to your opening and choose an opening that best sets you up for the style of middlegame you play. This way you will be able to unlock your full potential.

Note: That's not garbage like what those you tubers say. I've read it in several books, and it's worked quite well for me. Also, I don't watch those frauds. They make your rating go way down so you keep watching them even more (mind games).

If you want some more help, message me, I'd be glad to help another chess player improve their game! I've always wanted to be a teacher anyway.

Most amateur chess players aren't looking for a way to improve their play. That's too much work.

They're just looking for a quick fix that will promise them results. The fact that the promise is hollow is beside the point.

Low-level players don't need "a new opening". They need a new paradigm... a new way of thinking about chess.

This, perhaps: GM Larry Evans' method of static analysis - Chess Forums - Chess.com

But again... too much work.

Playing openings in hopes of improving massively is a huge L.

Fraud... I presume none of you have ever lied, let alone exaggerated in your lives, otherwise you might not be so quick to judge. Stop thinking openings are a win-all solution. They're taking advantage of your short-sighted paradigm.
