🔹 Most Common Chess Opening MISTAKE | Key Tactical Pattern –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you an aggressive variation in one of the most popular chess openings, the Two Knights Defense.
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6 4.Ng5, most of your opponents hope for the Fried Liver Attack which happens after 4…d5 5.exd5 Nxd5?! But instead of 5…Nxd5, there is a tricky variation called the Fritz Variation which happens after 5…Nd4.
This tricky variation comes with a lot of hidden traps that even strong players fall for. In most of the variations, Black is winning in just about 10 moves!

Very helpful

just won my first game where the white pawn advances to d6.. such a great feeling to shut down that attack!
Bxf3
I don't think I need to even try this to figure out that my opponents, especially at the low level I have, will NEVER, and I mean NEVER! make all these moves just like we see here. It just won't happen.
It's the thought that counts though, I guess.
Edit: Even IF I get lucky enough to get to the exact position at 2:28, all my opponent need do is to castle kingside and my kingside hopes are completely dashed. So that just leaves me taking the bishop and trying to win the queen on c2. They will NOT cooperate and at best, I MAY every once in a while end up 3 or 4 points up with a decent position when it's all said and done.
That means I will risk losing dozens of GAMES, just trying to get up a piece once in a while. It's not worth it to me, although, there are some instructive tactics discussed here, but that's about it.
Cheers.

Is there a video how to counter white's move bishop to b5 instead of c4 in the beginning of the video?
At about 11:16: Be3. Thank you for your work.
Thank u so much much master for sharing your talent… It means a lot for me… It really helps to give us courage and even winning games against trshtalker🤣🤣🤣
I need to strengthen my play as black and this video is so helpful
What if during the Fritz, they bring their queen out to defend their king from your queen instead of the bishop ?
I think bishop to e3,forcing queen to move. Can take as protected by rook
maybe I'll test drive THIS instead of the COMPLICATED rousseau/luccini/jaenish-schliemann/steinitz scotch etc. repertoire I wanted to quit the scandinavian because just the rousseau was too much of a move order nightmare to learn quickly. I'm loving the "exact opposite of 'slav-walling' " nature of the englund gambit > hartlaub-charlick gambit, but I only get to play it once or twice a day and the frustration of being stuck having to transpose the scandinavian into closed sicilian, pavnov attack and other passive positional crap is making having to play black 2-3 times in a row, never getting the open game I want unbearable.
hopefully this'll be a fun change of pace at the very least
Nobody runs the lines you all talk about. If lower rank doesn’t run them it is highly likely nobody higher rank runs them either. All you chess “teachers” are just like the news-full of 💩.
Have a good day
I really like watching your tips. I still suck royally
Be3-Qd1 or Qd3 or Qc3……Qc2 is dead by Qxc2 followed by Qxg2 check mate.
Dear Igor, I enjoy your lessons and I find them very instructive and helpful. However . “ Repetitio est mater studiorum “.. In other way : to make a progres you have to revise in other to memorise.. – especially openings. Otherwise what would be the point watching your lesson or trying to learn anything anyway? How can can you learn without memorising?
