i have a question, at 9:26 he gave Bishop g6 as an example, and I see such moves a lot, and I can't understand how they work. Isn't it better to perhaps move bishop to c5 instead to pressure for an attack for example?
I'm petty, but I can't stand his accent, had to stop the video
What if after Queen G5, white exchanges knights behind the bishop pin?
At the end the quen can defend the rook
good stuff
5:15 Ba6 doesn't look good, pawns can block it and queen supports them
This video enabled me destroy my way out of the 800 ELO to the 1200 group
Facts
At 1:46 you said "porn"….. At 2:15 again!! And you keep on saying "porn" afterwards. At 3:06 you said "penis"….. What's happening man?! 😀
I should be near 800 in no time. Fried liver has been on the menu for far too long
Ну и где перевод ? Хотя бы субтитры были бы…
what about 5 Bxf7+ Kxf7, 6. Nxe4. this looks like clear advantage for white
Damn I didn't know I was 2.4 million people
Well, I tried it and I got so lost, that I lost all the pieces 😀
If I was playing this line, after Black's Nxe4, I as White would just play 0-0, allowing Nxc3, dxc3. White gives up a pawn for a lead in development.
Right when I got off this video, I played the bishop e2 move and my opponent had no clue how to deal with the fork. He sacked his bishop then immediately resigned after blundering his knight on the next move. I'm impressed how easy it was to implement that trap. My opponent didn't immediately move his bishop to c5, so it was a delayed trap, but it was still effective with both his knights developed. Going to have to look at variations though if I play against someone who doesn't move their bishop there since I did get sorta worried that they wouldn't fall into the trap.
When you play Bb5 to pin the knight my opp. just plays the a pawn, I move back, the play the next pawn… any advice?
The problem with these videos is that this guy is a gm and doesn't consider the opponent playing the most obvious or dumb moves to counter your pins or whatever and it is something that we chess noobs rated lower than let's say 1000 face all the time instead of these positions shown in these videos
I dont understand people who rush queen or bishop in first moves i just defend it and they have to go back and waste moves bruh
Out of spite I would play the Halloween Gambit 🙂
Beauty of chess:)
5:22 – small remark: the Qeen not trapped /after f3 – by the black/, but game lost: Bxf3, another move: Rxf3, e4xf3 and so on. Till now from all videos which I have seen, your videos for the learning of chess are the best.
Wow… It's good to know this kind of traps. It totally works!
Italia, Prancis, Jerman, dll banyak negara Eropa yang mengalami kekeringan, sungai-sungai banyak yg mengering, tinggal dikit airnya
Went above 900, fell to 600, went to 800 🙁
i like it. thank you. at the minute 2:29 after black queen to d5, why is not good move white queen to e2?
Thank you
One of the most concise and useful chess tips. Thanks
You got some smooth moves..
Seems like you prefer black
I literally just watched a video on the fried liver technique and how good it is. Then this video pops up explaining how wrong and bad it is lmao.
Thank you for the channel
Can anyone plz tell me, 1500 elo in 10+5 format (lichess) is good ?
The way you explain it. It looks like a peice of cake but when i actually play with someone they always move something unexpected and i end up losing. I know i am dumb and stupid but still i wanna win every game mannn
I recently found this channel. Really like your videos. Thanks.
I played this at a chess tournament and my opponent played bishop takes f7 id that any good?
Igor your instruction is world class!!!!!! I will watch these clips till I die!
Watched the video. Hmm, nice, let me try it! Fire up a blitz game. I'm playing black. 1. e4 d4, 2. Nf3 Nc6. 3. Nc3 Nf6. That looks promising! They go 4. Bb5, damn. I try to kick it away 4. … a6, and it slides right back with 5. Bc4. Noice! Knight sac with a blue "!!" flag! Take! Fork! A couple of blunders later, I end up in a much better position with their king exposed in the middle of the board. That was fun, thanks a lot! I'm a total beginner, rated about 450 in blitz, and it always amazes me how chess can be fun even if you know so little.
Very good to mention white should keep the bishop in almost any variation after the temporary sacrifice Kxe4 and pawn d5 and then just play Bd3 which gives an equal play, demonstrated over a century ago when this was also popular already.
Just won a game as black using this. Top stuff!
It is only an opening error when your opponent is good enough to exploit it 😉
