first comment
when i watch your video first time my rating was 900. Now im 1800. Your videos are always useful. Keep goin bro.🙏
But what if white plays d3 after Nf6
The only usefull chess yt profil
I've won several games just this week against this exact attack including an 11-move resignation yesterday with 100% accuracy. It's very common. I don't always catch the Fried Liver right away but usually spot it before I move Na4 and remember to play d5 first.
What if white plays Qe2 after black’s Na5?
I have played 5. Kg5 against 1500 level people and they have accidentally taken with their queen. As an 800 you can imagine the shock.
Dear Mr Igor. Is your cat ok?
I've played this game as white multiple times, black usually don't know what to do after they got this -2.1 advantage, and this advantage fall into few moves, (last time I've played it i was 1600 on lichess rapid)
8:30 but seriously, why do you think that move is so bad? I checked with the engine, it's not a good move but it isn't a losing mistake either..
Whenever I see 1. e4, I brace for incoming early queen attacks, like 9 out of 10 times.
Brilliant!
That what I expect for GM Igor. Everything you show makes sense no cheap trick like other ytbs.
by watching your channel alone I went to 1200 from 1000 in just 3 days. Jesus dude you're something else, great videos. Huge thanks!
Hey Igor! Love your videos, watched a ton of them and still watch them at my free time. I progressed from 600-1430 ELO just because of these videos :). One thing I would love to know how to play is exchange variation in ruy lopez, since I always have problems defending the instant attack. Anyways, keep doing this!❤
at 5:54 would Qxd5 also be good or is there something I'm missing? it takes the pawn and white still can't take the bishop because they will lose the rook
@12:59, after Ba6, if white d3, black cannot go Qf2 for Mate because white Q takes black Q (because d3 blocks black B on a6 and d3 is protected by c2).
Am I missing something?
Wow! Igor! Thanks a lot for this soo great video, with new moves for black! 😊👍♟
im saddened to ask…but why is bishop b7 a bad move?
nah traxler better
at 6:13 where you say the queen is pinned on e2, was that an error? Reason is they can exchange queens with bishop recapturing on e7.
Great lesson!! I have faced this opening multiple times and was never sure what the best way to respond was/is. Thanks for your generosity in sharing this.
I speak for everybody when I say we need the cat back in the background
On the fifth move for Black, I've been attacking the Bishop with my B Pawn, rather than the mainline Knight attack. Which is really stringer?
thank you..👍 RCA
Good day GM Smirnov. Can you do a quick guide what to do against Bird opening (1.f4) when playing as black.
At first glance it looks a bad opening as it opens the king side but the follow up Nf3 shuts down the quick check from Black.
Thank you and good luck for your future contents.

Keep up the good work Igor
And what if Qe2?
why cant the white queen on e2 simply take the black queen on e7? that will be check and then white can save his rook on h1 and put it on f1
