🔹 The Most Underrated Chess Opening –

This is a continuation of the “Most Underrated Chess Openngs” series by GM Igor Smirnov. In this video lesson, you will learn the Grob’s Attack, which starts with the unusual 1.g4.

The opening takes its name from Swiss International Master Henri Grob (1904–1974) who analysed it extensively and played hundreds of correspondence games with it.

A great thing about this opening is that the White’s first move 1.g4 is so rare that most of your opponents will be shocked to see it. Therefore, you get them out of their opening preparation giving you a great chance of winning the game!

Watch the video lesson and learn the typical ideas for White, most common traps that Black fall for, common responses of Black and how to exploit them.

  1. Guys, If the opponent doesnt fall for the trap and opens up with D5, the best thing u can do is protect the pawn with pawn to F3 !

  2. When she is around it's certainly UP!!!

  3. Again, these tricks don’t work for me because my foe won’t follow this script. Black ignored the g4 pawn, playing e4 instead. When I played c4. He advanced his pawn to d4.

  4. First game I played at 950 and the opponent went e4. Why are we only looking at the losing lines and not when the opponent plays correctly?

  5. After Nb5 black Rook c7 can give check Rc7:Bc1+ and white Queen is gone

  6. I tried this trick with black and it worked

  7. I would do E5 to get ready for fools mate or 4 moves each check mate.

  8. Hey , my friend: "All those options" are GREAT! Thanks for sharing your genius!

  9. I tried that in 500 elo and they just play random answers and none of those tactics apply. And as I am also 500 elo I have no idea how to respond to their possibly bad responses.

  10. I love you it is working 🙂

  11. Had (and won) a game as black recently in 1. g4 d5 2. Bg2 Bxg4 3. c4 c6 4. cxd5 Nf6 5. dxc6 Nxc6 that prompted me to find this video. Interesting sideline, because at that point, with the knight on c6, Qb3 is kinda untimely. Game continued 6. Nc3 e5 7. Qb3? Nd4! 8. Qxb7? Nc2+ 9. Kd1 Rb8 10. Qc6+ Bd7 11. Qf3 Nxa1 and white lost on time soon after.

  12. I'm glad you showed this opening been playing it for years, so many traps and variations

  13. why black don't go rock b8?

  14. You should have cover e5 too

  15. Magnus has people resigning after the first move so it must be a good one to study

  16. Who's taking that pawn on G4? I played 6 games playing around with this for fun not really caring if I win or lose and no one has yet taken that pawn lol
