More videos like this would be awesome…. Basic techniques.
This is so useful.
To take is a mistake, except you take this useful lesson.
Thanks Igor
"What can I attack" is a real game-changer. It's amazing how often hidden resources jump to life when you ask it regularly. The problem is that it is so easy to fall back into passive habits; it takes discipline to think of counter-attacks on every move. Something I am still working on.
Another great lesson that will help actually win games. Well Done
"They haven't watched this video so they don't know that it is wrong" — ha ha — love the playful confidence.
Thank u so much
nice tips! I'll keep this in mind and think a little differently. I never thought about that cheeky tactic in this opening. opps will be demoralized as well going into the endgame haha
Whenever i teach chess to someone wanting to get better, after all the basic stuff (development center tempo time material), the first thing i teach is “only take for a specific reason.”
It really is a basic idea but getting used to playing closed games and leaving tension will help you advance so so so much.
PLAY. LONGER. TIME. CONTROLS.
Whatever control you are playing play at least one higher.
Amazing content as always Igor. I recommend your channel to everyone i know that plays chess. 👍
Igor my teacher!!!
This lesson was gold. Much appreciated
my first thought…
Qa4
if
Bd7
Nb5
if Bxb5
Qxb5
if a6
Qxb7
…
if blacks defends
Nd7
after Qa4
Bg5 f6
…
idk it's good or not…
I never play this opening, but I would have taken thinking the isolated pawn a target with helping him developer, what's wrong with this reason for taking?
Hi Igor I like you vidoes alot and I also learned alot from you in this short time watching your vidoes…So that's why I would like to see you do all of these tactics in a LIVE GAME only if you don't mind😁🙏💯
Nice video thanks! I can't find this piece set on lichess, do you use some custom extension to get it?
Just starting getting into chess, you're my favorite teacher. Always happy to see a new video on something I can learn.
Instead of pawn to D4 attacking white's knight, could black's queen play B6 to put pressure on F2 and B2?
Thanks Igor, for the lesson…🙏
A great lesson, even for those of us who have been playing for a while.
Many 'forced' moves are anything but. Unless you are in check, you may miss greatness by just reacting defensively, as shown here. Defending a piece is meh if you had a great counterattack or other thwarting move.
To boil down the nuances of chess into easy to grasp and easy to remember and apply lessons- true genius. Thank you.
nice content. more like this please!
Brushing up on chess. Watched a few other people which are very entertaining perfect but I believe I'm liking yours, your advice the best and how you do it. Thanks
Great tutorial!
What about QB6 at 3:40?
Igor are you asking people to contact you on Telegram?? Or Are these impersonators trying to be you??
Hello Igor, great video as always.
Where can I watch you other channel about motivation and personal development? These videos were excellent.
At 6:34 I would try as Black Bb4+ then when they interpose Nf, Qa4 unpinning and backing up the bishop. Also threatening Nxe4.
If you like chess you watch hikaru, if u want to be good at chess u watch RCA
Obviously, after 6. dxc4 Bxc4, 7. Bg5 will turn out badly for the reasons indicated. But if White doesn't do that, it seems to me that 6. dxc4 does serve a purpose – it leaves Black with an isolated d-pawn, which should be advantageous to White, no?
Number 00. First you have 2 read or LOOK first at your opponents LAST MOVE brother, and then ask yourself, "What is the LOGIC behind that move boy?" Get my point?
And then this.
I learned this from a boy, an "FM" boy
Step #01. Candidate moves
02. Delete Candidate move
03. Calculate
04. Decision make
and
05. Make the move
This "Technique" helps me sometimes when I'm playing Rapid
My Elo rating in lichess is 1599 hahaha
gg Well Played boy
Respect and Chess
4:44 Knight e4
If bishop takes sacrificial queen, checkmate with Bf2 🙂
knight to e5 for white in the first section is the best imo
6:05 I would take your horse if I was white..total game changer.
4:45 i would have played Pawn h6
can u not check it first with the Queen? then B or NxN
Your videos are very helpful. My Elo was 900 when I first saw your video. But now it is 1400. And it happen under 5 or 6 days. Your videos helping so much to improve my chess games.
6:20 is queen d5 a good option he never addressed it? To me it seems like a good move because it's aggressive and forks the bishop and knight but idk I'm pretty garbage at chess
'Always push forward' helped me play better
