Dear GM Your explanation of the opening was very clear. I also often use that aggressive opening, but often can't judge my opponent's missteps, so I can't necessarily punish him with the right moves. I realized the opponent's step was not quite right after two steps had passed so the position remained balanced. If you don't mind, I'd like to know more details about the opening of Caro Cann,. Is it good for white? Thank you a lot. Best regards. Irawan

IF BLACK SUPPORT HIS OPENING move E5 with D6 .... whole plane goes down ?

[@thomasflinders3319]

Hey Igor! I am a big fan of the Goring Gambit! I use it often while playing online. I do have troubles when my opponents take the first pawn, but decline the 2nd one going into a declined goring gambit line. I would love if you made a video on this line, as it's really the only line that gives me troubles. Thank you for all of the amazing content you put out!

[@mohaimenulimam233]

I love your tactics. These are awesome and no one makes and shares them online.....

[@tadcotadco6344]

hi Igor, what I like in your videos is that all those positions happen in my real online blitz and bullet games quite regularly. I mean, there are other guys teaching traps in openings, but their tricks happen very rarely because you cannot force your opponent to do several initial moves

[@DavidEmerling79]

I agree. The *best* traps are the ones where your opponent makes "natural" moves.

[@jeffscott8545]

Hi! I enjoy watching your videos! I’m a blind chess player! Is there a way you could be more descriptive when talking about the moves you are playing? I was just wondering because it would make it easier for me to follow the video.

[@allthatjazz-7]

I thought the normal line for black, was indeed to take on c3 with the bishop, but to play Qf6 after. No mention of this standard idea, in John Emms book. Otherwise a very good video. Thxs. 👍

Hi Igor. What should we play if Black played h6, instead of Na5, which seems to be a waste of time? Thank you.

[@johngilbertsambajon]

Wowww nice gambit to play❤

[@manuelph168]

Amazing!!! I keep on watching all your videos. i hope you make petroff damiano gambit for black, so many traps too, but not so many video materials made so far.

[@marknieuweboer8099]

4...d5. 13...Kf8. 16...Qc6. The trap after 16...Nd2? has been known since Ribli-Imre, HUN 1968. When I used to play this gambit I preferred the move order 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 (d5) 4.Nxc3 Nc6 5.Nf3.

[@tystallard]

This is great, now if i can just remember all of this. LOL!~

[@mabblers]

Wow, I tried it out on a higher rated person and this worked despite they pinned my queen knight on the 5th move. It was a hard battle and they fought to end on defend, and succumbed to all my attacks. I'll have to try it on the 2k players next. Do you have a recommendation for a black's opening dominance like this? I never was one for sacking pieces for gain of momentum. I'm going to have to change that point of view. Thanks for this awesome tip!

[@tfosss8775]

The Charlick Gambit is similar for black in that it offers 2 pawns for an open board and quicker development.

[@ningthemkhumanoinammaster3382]

Thanks Master

[@Infamous_V.I.P]

He’s correct, most of blacks moves are logical and will be played. Most but not all.

[@pamelahuett5215]

Hi Igor it's Pam Huett again. I hope you and your family are doing well. I just have one thing to tell you about what a lot of people play against me as soon as my knight goes to f3 and bishop to c4. I get hit with h6 so I was wondering how someone should deal with it.

[@ingogoldbeck2886]

Sure the people want to avoid the fried liver attack. But in those cases you often can go Ne5 instead of Ng5. best idea is to play d4. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 h6 4. d4

[@higggy5989]

Wow! Great gambit just won 2 games with it each under 17 moves.

[@mohammadrajabi7155]

I love your videos but in 2:35 black can actully go to f3 with his knight and check white and it could ruin white pawn structure, after that bishop to d6 to prevent the fork, so I think it is better for black than white

[@pepesorianomanuel3792]

Knight is Pinned therefore cant move

[@dorjem.4166]

Hi Igor, what do you recommend if black doesn’t accept white’s second pawn sacrifice and instead moves pawn to d6 before whit’s opening foundation for this gambit has been established?

[@GamingChair9482]

match nicely well to my style of gameplay in chess, since my advantage is the attack that my opponent can barely defend against.

[@SudhirKishor6603]

4:32 why is that knight pin bad for black ? Or how can white be at an advantageous position after this ?

[@humphreyliddiard1040]

at 4:19 you play Qb5 and at 11:10 you play Qa4 (otherwise you block the Bishop). Could the 4:19 move also be Qa4?

[@vedtheartist7735]

yeah sure but qb5 is better cus of bd5

[@luke31ish]

Igor, that's nice!

[@ykirank]

Hi Igor, 12:01 move pawn capturing Bishop when there is Queen option? Are we sure?

[@paveljirgal8143]

black cant capture queen because king is pinned by bishop

[@tabby7189]

Are there transpositions into this gambit from the bishop's opening? I don't really see a clear way to try it On a side note, stuff like this is why I don't play e5 on move 1, at least in fast time controls. It's really easy to lose playing normal moves, and if you make it out usually you're up, like, one pawn. That's it. And only if you didn't have to give it back, to say nothing of having to give it back with interest.

[@pokerchannel6991]

is caro khan ok? it is a queen side pwn move.

[@tabby7189]

@@pokerchannel6991 it's a fine opening at pretty much any level, only a question of whether it suits your style

what happens after Bb3 at 12:07 if black plays pawn c5?

[@andrewwilson9123]

b4, looking to open up the b file looks really good to me. If they capture, we can play Rb1 or even Nb5!, and if not, we can take and play Rb1 on the next move. Looks very hard to defend

I tried this six times, 12 games, and no black player did move 1 or 3.

[@0351marinemike]

Maybe it's because I'm so new to the game... but I have so much trouble seeing pins in game... when I watch these videos I sometimes have to pause and ask why not just take the queen with the pawn, then I see the pin. But I can't see the well enough to set them up. I've been doing a lot of puzzles on Lichess... I'm confused about what the want in half of them. Any recommendations on improving in this area?

[@josephsalmonte4995]

Just do more puzzles. On the pin front, most of the time, the pin is caused by a Bishop attacking a piece. Always check that there's nothing of higher value behind the piece being attacked. Also, NEVER line up your king & Queen on the same diagonal & beware doing the same with your queen & a Rook 👍

[@JohnXia-j8t]

Thanks Igor! I just beat a 1800 rated person with this!
