  1. I've seen a lot of chess videos and I'm trying to create a thinking system that can filter out the various golden rules and concepts. I thought in the following way and order: 1) discover the opponent's biggest threat mainly within my half of the board 2) Try to attack any piece or weak square mainly in my opponent's half of the board 3) If number 2 is not possible, try to prepare an attack using preferably the least active piece. WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? I await response. thanks

  2. At 13:01 , if black plays Bishop c5, it falls apart. White captures with knight. Then black goes knight c4. If the queen wants to keep the pressure on the black squares, it moves to b4. Then, black moves its other knight to d3 for check and forks the queen.

    At least, this is how I would blunder the execution of this attacking idea.

  3. Wow!!! I really like this opening idea, and the way you explained various attacking, and possibly check-mate ideas was brilliant! Thanks, Igor! You're establishing yourself as one of the very best chess video channels on the planet! 531K and growing!

  4. Love this gambit! I will definitely try it! Great stuff Igor!! Can you please go over the cow opening. It was invented by Anna Kremling.

  5. Can you make/do you have any chess videos on how to attack? like majority vs minority attacks, Greek gift, a summary of the types of tactical motifs that are more advanced than just like “pin, skewer”.. a video like this would be extremely helpful.

  6. this attack is highly improbable

  7. Great video. Real good from GM Igor. Excellent!

  8. 12:04 black can push the pawn to f5 and fork both queen and knight right?
