Can u do a opening video on the chiodini gambit

[@deangordon2588]

Hi Igor - great videos - quick question: why would white win automatically if white queen takes rook at - can't black queen take queen? This got me confused when i saw this at 9:30 - 9:40 mark - thank you

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Black queen can take the White queen but after the exchange White is up a piece. So White has material advantage. Thanks for the question.

[@RamKumar-gy9nb]

Outstanding video, thank you again. My suggestion which I have given earlier too: Try making more videos on most unusual but successful openings for white and Black. You made one and it was really good too. Please make more of those. Thank you.

[@fahad468]

Hi Igor, could we get a video on the best beginners openings for black? Loved your ponziani videos, it's brought me a lot of wins! Don't really have any openings/ defences in my arsenal for when I'm black though, so would be nice to learn some good strats from you 🙂

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Hey, thanks for the question. Here is an opening video that will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGGpen2bhb2gnc0

[@fahad468]

​@@GMIgorSmirnov Thank you! Love the videos 🙂

[@walterbrownstone8017]

While playing, I often say to myself "to take is a mistake". I think I got that from Igor.

[@wildcatjeff415]

Add fhaflfsbdjdjdj

[@brianbeattyphotography]

such great tips in this one!

[@ncheckh5632]

The simple rule "To take is a mistake" that I learn from here really help my game a lot. At least I know when I should exchange pieces and when I shouldn't.

[@yamijones]

In that last bit where you say white can take the knight freely… did you not see that hangs the queen? That’s a winning position for black

Again fantastic, thanks

[@josephsalmonte4995]

I missed that Queen check & Bishop capture so I clearly need this video lol. Thanks 👍

[@dog3579]

At 6 minutes in: which video showing traps in the two knights game are you referring to? Thanks.

[@BobChess]

Learn our mistakes and fix them. Thank you Chess academy. You make us better

[@chessbulletschannel5889]

Very important for chess learning like this ❤

[@jherwinreyes2852]

Can you make a video on how to play the Sicilian defense

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Here is a video that will help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqaYm32gesh_epo

[@ronaldvicente6969]

Thank you!

[@cronoscraiss330]

Very good video thx

[@andinenobais]

thankyou master 👍

[@ytmndman]

How is the black player in the third example 1900? Was it a bullet game or something?

[@brianmurphy3158]

9:34 white queen takes black knight, then black queen takes white queen, then white pawn takes black queen..... so basically white is up one piece, a black knight.... and that's an instant win for white ??? So early in the game? Being up one knight wins the game? Please explain.

[@Shaun_GTI]

Very instructive. I wish I could afford your courses😢

[@gabrielknight553]

In fact ,by definition an exchange must be initialised by each side at the same time and chess dont work like that.

[@derektoyne2729]

Hello Igor I was wondering is it better to look at your attacking moves first or your opponents threats. In a recent game of mine my opponent had three threats on his next move,two checks and a threat to my Queen. So I castled and he attacked my Queen,anyway I managed to move my Queen and a mate three. After with the help of Fritz I discovered I should have checked as I had a mate in two.In many of my games I discover if I'd played a little more active,in other words looked at my attacking moves first I would have turned draws and even loses into wins. In this video you talk about selfish thoughts my problem is I am only considering my opponents threats and not looking at my possibilities. Any replies would be helpful.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thanks for the question. It is common that chess players want to defend when their piece is attacked. Just like you said, it is good to counter attacks that forces your opponents hand so you can get into a favorable position.

[@derektoyne2729]

Are you saying before I start to look at defensive moves I look at attacking moves first. If they lead to a win I save myself a lot of time and get the result I want?

[@JacquesduPlessis11]

​@@derektoyne2729 I can tell you what I do fwiw. I tend to think about what my opponent's move and position sets out to achieve. Then I look at what I hope to achieve. And 3rd I also look at what I can do to stop or counter the opponent's idea. Then I try to find a move we both missed. And using that I make my choice. I then blunder and resign Haha but that is my approach.

[@KD555]

Even though Black made several bad moves in that game, after Qf4 there's d5 and White's advantage doesn't seem decisive. I was hoping you'll address this variation.

[@Zimcautions_a2]

Can you do the pirc defense

[@WHAT-gm1xm]

I am stuck in 1300 elo how to increase points & how to think ahead moves

[@edmonespina7879]

Sir why you didn't play in the big event in chess. Your still young.. im happy if youre play .. and become a super grand master

[@Outofcontexst]

Yooo lets goooo

[@greatwolf.]

If I combine your lesson with lessons from other GM's will that make me a stronger player? For example: Ben Finegold: - Never play f3/f6 - Always play Bf8 - Always play Kb1 - Play c4 because it's explosive - Knife to f5 Simon Williams: - Always give Harry a push Jesse Kraai: - Pawns aren't people - Check that miserable King Did I miss anyone?

[@JJ_TheGreat]

9:34 And then black tries to exchange Queens, right?!

[@gabrielknight553]

You should work to make that word dissapear from chess learning

[@gabrielknight553]

After an exchange , something else happend ..I call it the ( Residuum ) of the ( chop)

[@justinwang7007]

My sister does 3 cheats!

[@chriszablocki2460]

They did it first. It's karma. Right?

[@moh32346]

9:41 if queen takes the night then black queen takes white queen

[@vinuzo9548]

And white takes back with the pawn

[@patrickluo7215]

Queen is defended by the pawn

[@cavemann_]

still wins a knight tho

[@jathanzhou-fp8uc]

It knight not night

[@joseedwincerbolles9974]

nobody will sacrifice his bishop like that

[@eugeneogozalek65]

You have to pause between sentences...you talk too fast...
