2:30 can't we just sac the rook by giving the check to the black king and then bringing the queen to give check to the Black's king and then finally delivering a mate
Sorry but the line with … hxg5 is winning for black on the spot .. after hxg5 Ng4 , g6 , d5 !!! .. you end up a piece down for nothing computer says – 3.78 for white ,,, best is Nxd5 after Bxf2+ Kf1 … – 4.69 … white is totaly losing … Also on the Nh7 line after g6 Nf6 is the worst answer Best is Ng5 …
Sir you and your channel My amazing ❤❤
after Nf6 Nc3 they ALWAYS do Nxe4 wanting to double attack bishop and knight next move and making this strat almost unplayable. How do I counter it?
Hi Igor, So i was playing someone and I did this trap but instead of taking my Black Bishop with there h pawn, They attacked my White bishop with there knight on a5.. Im sure we cant do this trap without the white bishop? Please help!

Black check Bishop f2 capture Pawn, if king capture Bishop back Pawn f7 go g6 check capture Queen.
Hi, I like to suggest a quicker way for checkmate. After pawns exchange at f7, knight to g6 followed by rook at h8 (two moves instead of five for checkmate)
1. Bxf2 check. If Kxf2 then f7xg6 with a discovery check and Queen is gone.
2. Bxf2 check. If Kd1, then Bg4 check, if Qxg4, Ne3 with a fork to the Queen.
3. Bxf2 check. Kf1, then Ne3 check. If Kxf2, then f7xg6 Queen good or if Ke2, then Bg4 check queen gone.
At 0:35 what if Black plays 4…Nxe4? If 5. Nxe4, then Black plays 5…d5 and winds up with a pawn controlling two important center squares.
Knight f6 should do the job.
at 34 seconds you say play NC3, but according to your previous lessons, if they play that, I just play NxE4, that way when they NxN, I play D5 forking the N & B.
Best chess channel on YouTube, thank you Igor!
What happens if after Kg4, the opponent plays Bf2 instead of Kf2?
Bxf2+! var.1: Kxf2 fxg7+ wins the wQ (K moves and: gxh5 or Qf3 and Rxf3). var.2: Kf1: Ne3+ Kxf2 (and var.1) or Ke2 Bg4+ wins wQ (Qxg4 Nxf4). var.3: Ke2 Nf4+ and after K moves: Nxh5
won't work against me tho as I only play the Rousseau gambit 😂
Bxf2.
1. If king takes bishop, fxg6 u get discovered check plus u take the queen.
2. If Kd1, Bg4, Qxg4, Ne3 forks the king and queen.
3. If Kd2, Qxg5, Qxg5, Be3 forks the king and queen.
4. If Kf1, Ne3, Ke2, Bg4 forks the king and queen.
5. If Ke2, Nf4 forks the king and queen
Thanks for the videos, GM Smirnov! One personal question, if I may: with everything that's going on with Ukraine, where are you based?
Best regards!
The italian is my main opening that I play for black and white thank you so much!

You turn "mystery" into practical knowledge. You make improvement a reachable goal that is better than every other coach out there. You are appreciated. BIG thanks for your efforts!
