  2. Already Know It Is Gonna Be Great ❤

  3. Rock and roll?

  4. Interesting. This one had never been on my radar. It would be helpful to know how to defend against it. In the 1 . . . d4 line, perhaps an early h6 by Black?

  5. Surprising opening system, thanks 🎉❤

  6. What is this opening called?

  7. Cool opening, thanks for showing it❤

  8. Moving a piece more than once in the opening is questionable, this requires more study.

  9. This is excellent, Igor — this is why I am subscribed to your newsletter! BTW, which chess engine GUI are you demonstrating this (I noticed you turned on Stockfish which doesn't look familiar to me). Thank you, sir!

  10. Yes,yes,yes, about time a GM looked at the Van Geet/ Dunst opening. Move 4, knight f3 or knight g3? Problem with Knight g3, black h5! Knight e7 blunder. Only one person I've seen on chess cam, plays this opening, me, Kenworthy 🙂 or Lichess Kenners50, Thank you for looking at this!

  11. This looks like the opposite version opening for black that you made

  12. I've encountered this. Went black grob and he went knight f3. I moved my pawn again

  13. If I were black I'd pin the knight to the Queen when those knights are next to each other and they can't push a pawn to kick my bishop away.

  14. I think i can't play this. Because I am a principle guy and it’s not my type of playing style. But I love you standard opening tricks and traps.

  15. Big fan of these universal openings for black and white, they are really great fallback options for when the stander repertoire starts to fail or gets stale.

  16. Very interesting aggressive moves…great

  17. Really amazing opening ❤

  18. Hi Igor. Can you please do a video on how to stop being passive. I seem to always be defending, even when I'm white 😭

  19. Interesting opening. Thanks for sharing.
