Beautiful examples. Thank you!
this is all speculation, no one moves like that.
Can you make a video about how to punish bishops opening
Your explanation is just amazing and helpful🤗
Too fast in speech.
Can anybody point to me the video in which he explains the middle fork trick with the pawn? I saw it once and have been playing it but forgot the lines. Just need to watch it again, thanks
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. My chess game was stuck because I wasn’t learning and because of you and your videos I find myself learning and improving. You are an excellent teacher and I wish you all the success.
Why shouldn’t you double the speed so nobody will be able to follow you?😊
Thank you so much just because of you I reached from 600 to 1000 elo
Edit: Now I am 1500!
9:32 is Bishop b5 better?
hey guys, does this opening only work for white? or is it possible to play something kind of similar with black?
That was very good 👍
I finally got someone to fall completely for the first one-He resigned after QG8! He must have known BH6 was coming-I reviewed the game and found i scored 100! in accuracy! LOL
Well I must say I'm now an 1860 blitz on lichess and 1900 on classic well ur videos are much better than buying a book im not financial owk now but when I'm oek I wanto pay for ur classes 🎉
Hi Igor. You show informative techniques, I always enjoy your tutoring. One little thing, could you please position your microphone a little closer to yourself. I have checked my volume controls and they are ok. Sometimes the audio is too low when narrators talk, but at other times some narrators are too loud, so maybe the microphone is at a wrong distance? Thank you, regards, Tibor.
None of my games end up looking like this , what a waste of an video
Leave it to a GM to predict beginner moves
I wish it goes the way you analyze it..
🙏
I consider rhis opening as an insult.
Oh mon dieu, ur explanation is magnificent! Will tweak it depending on different situations cheers
If my opponent knew me and I was up a rook and a pawn they still wouldn't resign!! Lol 😂😂
instead of taking the pawn with the black horse what happens if the black bishop takes the pawn on F2 and gives check to the white king ?
Why resign so early? I’ve seen many opponents make blunders as well as made blunders myself when the game should have been in hand. Make your opponents play it out
All i wanna know is how to play with stupid players who are playing not good moves and turns out to become really good moves because it is actually so bad that turns out to be great
I have tried these Bishop openings against at least 30 different level opponents and have never come across one that plays the key moves thats needed as shown in these tactics. Sometimes they may do the first two or occasionally three moves but never the rest that enables me to complete any of these 5 openings. Are the levels of the opponents that make the moves you show under 800 rating. Because no opponent over 1200 rating plays the suggested moves.
Sorry i'm just don't understand. I don't see How this is good.
Fascinating!
Very nice
When you played f5 then black can play q h4 + if g3 then bf2+ and g3 then? White losses
Everyone I played must have seen your videos because non of them works when I use them strategy.
What of the knight get back to g6? And did not take the bishop

This is why I like Bishop opening
In the 1st example – black can play pawn to d6 and make space for king escape, so no check-mate.
You've done a fantastic job with this video. 👏
Wow! I am a bishop openerer and now I get a late Christmaspacel! Thanks a lot Igor! 😊👍🎅
To fast
And when black does the Sicilian defense followed by d6??!
awesome
Igor, I like the pace of your commentary. Some chess commentators go too fast making it hard to follow them.
Nice video
"hey all…"
Hearing Igor's excellent, mildly accented colloquial English really brightens my day.
12 mn 05 s : Fe6 au lieu de Fg4. Les Blancs ne gagnent pas.
Im testing this openning with 1100 bot and got a 100% ACCURACY game. lol. it's nothing to win a game vs bot, but 100% accurcy is a 1st, thats fun.
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. Qxd4 Qe7 6. O-O c6 7. Re1 d5 8. Nc3 dxc4 9. Nxe4 Bf5 10. Nd6+ Kd8 11. Rxe7 Bxe7 12. Nxf5+ Kc7 (12… Kc8 13. Nxe7+ Kc7 14. Bf4#)
You make this opening seem simple, yet artistic. I love this opening and I aim to memorize all of it 👏 👏 👏
