It seems trap on 2:05 dont work or is not finished. As loglen here stated Na5 seems to fix the problem to not loose officer?! Very nice find with Na5.. also the variation: Na5, Qa4+, Bd7, Bb5 seems to not give a lot advantage for white. I think Na5, dxe6, Nxc4, exf7+, Kf8, Qd4 or Qd5 is best option for white. Black will either have to move night to e5 (looses the d pawn) or back to a5(missplaced knight) or try protect knight with c5. White has a pesky pawn on f7, but i think black will win it.. just needs to prepare it a bit?... Is there any better variation?

[@niravapurv4578]

Ah there is also Na5, Qd4, protecting bishop on c4, but with a double threat still on e6 but now also on g7. Black infact dont have time to protect g7 because he will lose the bishop on e6. So black has to move the bishop or take the withe bishop... if black move the bishop white can take on g7 and attack rook. So its most likely better to take bishop with Bxc4... but then white can still take on g7 and when rook go f7... white can take bishop on e6.. still dont win a officer... but black a bit chattered.. very unclear situation or?

hi. in min 3:46, what can you suggest if black plays d6d5 to protect the bishop. thanks

[@wissem0078]

Yeah I was wondering too, it would be at best +1 for white

[@Astro_Knight]

At 7:07, what if white plays pawn to h4 for himself? What is the best continuation?

[@dietmarmayer3639]

Igor, what do you think of 1) The Italian Gambit (4.d4!?) or 2) The line 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.O-O Nxe4 7.cxd4 ... - you did not mention these 2 lines in your video. Thanks for your thoughts (or maybe even for another video on these 2 lines?) Regards, D.

[@ziwuri]

The first line you mentioned almost looks like a worse version of the Scotch game (1. e4 e5 2. Nc3 Nf6 3. d4), which is very playable. If you want an aggressive gambit that starts immediately after 3. Bc4 Bc5, I would highly recommend the Evans gambit 4. b4, which is incredibly tricky and has even been played by super GMs in rapid tournaments. I play it and I like it because you get absolutely lightning fast development while holding onto center control, at the cost of just a measly b-pawn. And there are so many ways for black to go wrong.

[@death826able]

Answer: Do the queen sacrifice Qxf7+ Black can respond in one of 2 ways If he goes kh8, then Qxf8 is a checkmate So he is forced to capture the queen with his rook. After that, you play Re8+. The black king's rook is now pinned and can't block, which makes it a checkmate.

14:21 my answer: Forced checkmate by the following: ... Qx f7 Rxf7 Re8 # variation 2: ... Qxf7 Kh8 Qxf8 #

[@davidfuller1343]

14:20 I would say rook e8 , sac the rook then use the queen to deliver check , deflecting the king in the corner , captur the rook on the next turn and it's a forcing back rank mate?

[@andrewferguson6901]

There's a more forcing line, queen check on f7 first

[@boborandomness4477]

if you do that, its not a check so black has time to prepare knight or queen on E7, but if you force check with QxF7, they have no escape. if rook takes queen, white rook checkmates on E8, and if king goes to G8, queen captures rook on F8 and checkmates. ;)

[@niravapurv4578]

@@boborandomness4477 Qxf7+ is definitely a check. Only 2 legal moves for black. Rxf7 witch is followed by Re8 mate. Or Kh8, witch is followed by Qxf8 mate.

[@niravapurv4578]

Re8 is interesting. But its not a forcing move. You lost a chance to play a forced checkmate in 2 moves. And black can leave the rook on e8 and find some way to defend e7 better. I think after Re8, black can survive with Qf6, and then whites rook on e8 is hanging and black is a pawn up... perhaps weak pawn. A bit more unclear i guess, but looks to me white is stil pressing and black struggles to get out the bishop and connect rooks. Black can also try Be6. I think if Be6 i think rook on e8 is difficult to protect and now queen is attacked so white will have to play Rxf8+, black play Rxf8, then white need to move the queen somewhere it still defends the bishop on c4.

[@Awesome-1001]

14:29 sac the queen making his rook pinned and back rank check mate will be delivered with our rook. Absolutely beautiful

[@iagopaulo2445]

8:55 what if white played h3?? The game would be normal right cause all treats have been eliminated and after Ne2 Qxe2 Bxe2 the games goes.. Or am I wrong?

[@lyudmildimitrov6672]

Rook E8 is such an amazing forced mat in 2! It's an unreal sequence, thanks!

[@JerodimusPrime]

I think the move is actually Queen takes F7. The Queen sac forces the Rook to take else it's mate in 2. However you follow this up with Rook to E8 Checkmate. The rook is unable to block the check because of the Bishop pin, thereby it's a Back Rank Checkmate. It's a common forcing line you should remember, because it happens more often than people realize.

[@daisukeherb]

@@JerodimusPrime what if black queen captures rook e8?

[@JerodimusPrime]

@@daisukeherb Are we talking about the position @14:20? If so, the queen can't capture the rook, that would be an illegal move. The only legal moves after Queen x F7 are King to H8 or Rook x Queen, both of which lead to a mate in 1.

[@xiaoliyang3600]

Re8, Black rook captured,Qxf7,black queen go to h8,Qxe8 checkmate

[@sharonjuniorchess]

1. Qxf7+ Rxf7 2. Re8# but it takes practice to think this way as you are giving away your Queen.

[@JalenThomas-tg9gm]

It don’t take practice

[@berndrickert5510]

You are always very optimistic. In 11:10 if white doesn´t take with the knight, but with the bishop, then white has increased positional advantage, I guess. The sequence starting from 7:00 is awesome. Thanks for that. I wonder how much time he needed to think the whole move through.

[@thepoofication]

What can white do after capturing a pawn with the bishop and black goes Ke2? Igor is not optimistic, he is a GM, he can calculate :) Trust me, I blundered many pieces in my games with unsound attacks exactly like this

[@Elektric4rog]

@6:02, how about h4 instead of h3. Seems to stop the attack somehow.

[@zenith9430]

Great content!!!

[@MoneySuccesswithAndy]

14:24 I would go E4 to E8. After they take my rook (F8>E8) (if they dont take the rook on E8 then the rook on E8 is taking the rook on F8 next move and checkmate is coming anyway), then my I take F7 with my Queen (Check), they have to move their king away to safety (king to H8) and now I take their rook on E8 with my queen delivering Check Mate). Was that the best solution?

[@MoneySuccesswithAndy]

@MANUEL CRISTOBAL ROGERS IRURETA OMG you are 100% correct. I did not see that but it makes sense now. QxF7+, F8XF7, E4-E8 checkmate. If instead of taking the queen with their rook they move their kind to H8, you simply take the Rook on F8 with the queen and it is also checkmate. Thank you so much for pointing that out, I do appreciate it. :-) I had totally overlooked that they could attack the the queen with their bishop with my original plan.

[@ziwuri]

@MANUEL CRISTOBAL ROGERS IRURETA Just a little pointer; Chess notation uses small letters for squares and pawn moves, and Capital Letters to signify pieces. For example "Qe7+" is a correct way of notating, whereas "E4" or "rD1" would be incorrect. But you're the one who got the puzzle right, not me. And that's what really matters :)

[@Larencia91]

Your idea also runs into trouble after Be6. Black does not have to take the rook on e8, and after countering White Queen with the bishop, black does have the advantage and and White is forced to give up the exchange with Rxe6 and fxe6.

[@1stBorn10]

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@ziwuri]

Edit: Just checked the other comments and saw that I was wrong. I had the right idea, though. Just had the mental block of "I've got a queen and bishop battery, so I HAVE TO remove the defender and deliver Qf7+ mate". Maybe next time. Answer to the puzzle: Re8. If rook takes or any other move that does nothing, Qf7+ mate (rook is pinned). If queen protects the rook with Qe7, take the queen. If Qd8, it's still mate. If Nh6 to add a defender to the f7 square, just Rxf8 Kxf8 Qxd6+ and you're mating in a few more moves after bringing your other rook. I'm actually not entirely confident that I have the right answer, so feel free to blow holes in my solution :)

[@andrewferguson6901]

You're even more righter than you know. What happens after Qf7 check, ignoring the defender entirely?

[@jasonchavarria857]

Queen captures on F7 sac the Queen when rook take then white rook goes on E8 checkmate. Now if king moves then Queen captures rook on F8 is also checkmate do to the back rank weakness from black. That's why black should not capture the dark square bishop on G5. Lead's obviously to a force mate regardless of what black does.

At 6:00, what do you play if white goes h4 instead of h3?

[@Akronox]

I'd assume the original plan to pin the knight with Bg4. Not sure how to continue from there. If they take the pawn on g5, you push your h pawn, retreat your knight or attack the pinned knight with your other knight?

[@241hnd]

At 1:01 what happens if black takes with the pawn instead of the queen? Do any of the following moves still work or does this change everything?

[@divyanshmishra313]

Position of black will become worse as it's queen is blocked and next 2 pawns in the same file is a drawback so it's not a good option .... If your opponent does it in a game then cngrts you will be in a winning position

At 2:05 doesn't black still have Knight to a5 to prevent the loss of material?

no black still loses a piece because after knight to a5 white just captures the bishop and if black captures white's bishop white plays Qa4 check winning back the knight

[@Loglen]

@@TheMishaNation I see the idea, but White can't go Qa4 because then the Rook would take the Queen...

[@TheMishaNation]

@@Loglen oh yea i completely missed the fact that the rook file is now open too much tunnel vision on the king and the center i suppose

[@niravapurv4578]

@@TheMishaNation @Loglen I think after Na5, White best move is to take bishop with pawn on e6, and if black then take the bishop on c4, white continue with the pawn with exf7+, and then black can not take back with king because then there is a fork with Qd5+. So black will move the king probably to f8? to protect the pawn on g7... and then his rook on h8 is locked in for some time. Perhaps whites pawn on f7 will be lost and black might get pawn up.. but withe might also win b7 pawn. A bit messy situation. But a very nice find with Na5 and to see this trap dont fully work.

[@niravapurv4578]

Very nice find with Na5.. also the variation: Na5, Qa4+, Bd7, Bb5 seems to not give a lot advantage for white. I think Na5, dxe6, Nxc4, exf7+, Kf8, Qd4 or Qd5 is better for white. Black will either have to move night to e5 (looses the d pawn) or back to a5(missplaced knight) or try protect knight with c5.

At 9:10 it seems possible for white to avoid check mate by moving its kings rook to E1 so that its king can escape to F1

correct but after the check the h pawn will promote to a queen and then its checkmate again.

[@aanondodhara8362]

Qxf7 14:26

[@eclecticexplorer7828]

I found another variation on the second trap. After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Bc5 4. O-O Nf6 5. d3 d6 6. Bg5 h6 7. Bh4 g5 8. Bg3 h5 9. Nxg5 h4 10. Nxf7 hxg3 11. Nxd8 Bg4 12. Qd2 Nd4 , Stockfish recommends the move 13. h3 for white. Igor didn't mention this option, so I looked into it myself. Black responds with 13... Ne2+, after which white will most likely play 14.Kh1, which brings mate in two: 14... Rxh3+ 15.gxh3 Bf6#. Black's alternative is 14.Qxe2 Bxe2, which attacks the rook on f8. If white tries to save the rook with 15.Rc1, then play continues 15... Bxf2+ 16.Kh1 Rxh3+ 17.gxh3 Bf6#. White's best choice after Bxe2 is to save his own knight with 15.Ne6 Bb6 (black saving his bishop) 16. Nc3 Bxf1 17.Kxf1. That leads to a fairly equal game with black having won a rook for a bishop and two pawns, so material calculates out as even. Black will be unable to castle with the knight on e6, so he will have to play a move like Kd7 to free his queen's rook, but as compensation, he has a lot of pressure on white's king. There are only two games in the Lichess database with this position. Both are between the same 1850+ player for white and 1900+ player for black, and both ended in draws. Playing these traps often carry risks if the opponent makes all the right moves, so it's good when you can still draw against a strong opponent. As for the puzzle, the move is Qxf7+. If black plays Rxf7, white follows with Re8#. Black's rook is pinned on f7, so he cannot interpose. If instead of Rxf7, black plays Kh8 (his only alternative), then Qxf8 is checkmate.

the best move at 14 : 25 is rook to E8 then rook takes rook at E8 next queen takes pawn on F7 pinning the rook and the king and for black king to H8 is the only logical move next queen takes rook at E8 delivering a beautiful check mate !!!!!

[@namedperson1436]

It is ok, but it is not forcing. After Rook E8 Your opponent may play bishop E6 for instance (forcing a rook exchange AND forcing queen to move away from the attack). Always look for pins and forcing lines, that way you don't have to calculate as much. Queen sacrifice on E7 forces either rook E7 recapture or king moving back. In both of those cases it is #M1 either by backrank mate from Rook on E8 or from queen on F8. Don't let the possible material gain blind you from the real strategy at play.
