13:20 NH4 Q moves then NF6+ forking the Q.
Thanks teacher
There is one thing I want to do with my life and that's to see the northern lights or aurora borealis.
Nh4 attacks the queen and almost traps it if queen to D5 NF6 + Winn the queen
What is the best refutation from the black prospective ? , please make a video for that .
Excellent
Nh4 wins the black queen
Lovely I am a big fan you sir
Whereas two knight defence is best against fried liver attack
Great videos! Very helpful. Thank you.
This opening NEVER works after elo 900. I've tried opening like this dozens of time, it always fails. I invested so much time in it with no reward at all 🤢
This is the opening strategy that made me loose the most games in my chess life
👍
You are the boss trainer! I learnt many attacking tactics from your videos.
The solution of the puzzle, I think, is Kfh4, which will win the queen and win the match eventually.
I think that the solution to the puzzle is Nh4!
First thing I will admit I'm not nearly as good as you in chess but I have to say my opinion respectfully please.
At 15:00, which is the only absurd one, your analysis kind of goes off on a tangent thats probably not going to happen and it is avoiding the real issue cause you wanted to end the video. All others I recognize but I think that part is a mistake. At 15:00 I would capture the white queen with the rook. You will take my queen with check and I will attack the knight but if you take my rook then it is mate on the first rank so you have to take my rook and check my king then I will take your knight so the game will be even and blacks position is not nearly as bad. Then your white pawn at g7 will also be taken.
Knight h4, Queen goes anywhere the Queen will be lost.
bishop e6
Knight to h4 and the other Knight to f6 you win
They used this gambit inter US championship 2022 👌 https://youtu.be/siwOA03JsEc
At 8:08, with the move 6. d5, there is an A PASSANT CAPTURE
At 13:35 in the video, why wouldn't black play pawn to f6? That would seem like a perfect move for black. By the way, your videos single handedly improved me from an 800 to an 1100. My goal was just to get to 1000. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Igor! I am a Italien player and need this soo much! 😊👍♟
14:55 why can't black just capture queen d1?
after that knight captures queen e7 forking the queen and the rook
black plays king to d7 or d8..
now if white captures rook at g8 then rook captures e1 is checkmate
so white has to capture rook back at d1 checking the king then king can just capture the knight back.
or am i wrong somewhere? (1000 elo here)
Your videos are amazing. Would you ever consider doing a video on playing against the Scotch gambit as black?
13:13 Nh4. 1400 ELO, 3 minutes of thinking.
i always try to play the danish gambit but they never take it so iI just decided to laern the scoth game to
Hello, at 6:27 I have always sacrificed my bishop immediately and after king takes kg5+ king moves and Qxg4 my opponent normally pushes d5 and i slide back with QF3 with sneaky mate threat which has one me lots of bullet games. Does anyone have a reason for why pushing c3 is a better trap???
👍👏💯
