According to Chess while Bc5 is popular, many will take Nxe4 which is the better move. And then much fewer of those Bc5 players will then castle in the position causing Bg5 to not lead to the trap. Black can also play d6 which seems like a natural move to defend e5, which then stops Whites Nxe5. Whites h4 trap move sacrificing the bishop also leads to a pretty bad position for White, and if Black plays d5 also blocks Whites bishop late in the trap setup. which again leaves White in a terrible position. So it's a dangerous gamble for White. I guess it's just something to be aware of if you want to try something fun in those few percentages of italian games where Black both Bc5, castles and no d6 or d5? Please enlighten me if I misunderstand something about this.
white game needs to be consistent in order to pull off this trap. the moment white missed a variation, he's doomed.
Stockfish says h4 is blunder
You are so awesome
Often the opponent does not play the Italian game back. They do e5 or Nf6 instead. Clocks ticking. Prepare students for that please.
Nf6
Another variation of this comes if instead of Nxd1 in the first variation, black plays Nxe5. White has now lost a knight that was necessary for the described mating sequence, plus the knight on e5 attacks white's bishop on c4 while simultaneously adding a defender to the f7 pawn. However, white easily wins with the same pattern shown in the last variation: Rh8+ Kxh8, Qh5+ with mate on the next move.
Also in the first variation, if after white plays Nxe5, black can give his king a bit of air with Re8, but that falls to another mating combination. White plays gxf7 Kf8, Ng6 mate.
This is definitely a trap I am going to spend some time working on and will use it at the first opportunity.
Bf2 because you either mate or win the qween I think
No matter how much a learn, the computer keeps beating me in expert category…?
Igor, why don’t you talk about 9…d5! after 9.g6? White is losing! You gotta mention that!
4:09 what if black knight goes g5 whats the best reply?
How to counter paris defence from white please
I tried bishop sacrifice after that I am not sure is it the queen sacrifice? Please tell me I am not an advance or intermediate
What when black doesn't take peown on f2 with knight? When he take it with bishop? What is then? Please stream that!!
