Lol I've been asking 4 this video

[@friederermel116]

Puzzle: ne6+, ke7, bg5, pinning the queen.

[@KumarBendrake]

Wow. That's insanity!

[@cronoscraiss330]

Haha, absolutely :D

[@castled71049]

Upon 7. Bxf7+, Black can reply 7... Ke7. White is still winning here, but the Ne6 maneuver is no longer possible.

[@raselju]

Another great video lesson Igor! The winning continuation for white around 4.00, to my opinion, is - 1. Ne6+ -- Kd7 2. Bg5, which will end up winning the queen for two minor pieces. The king deadly exposed and it should be enough to win the game later.

[@Mrpopperer]

That sneaky joke about Hans was perfect😂

[@cameronmiller6240]

Hans is more butthurt than usual now.

[@benlinsk3847]

Guys, stop before he sues you for $100 million

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

“If someone tries all these moves, he could be a friend of Hans Niemann” LMAOOOOOOOOO

[@aseemsharan]

😂😂😂 Epic At 12:14

[@celing0624]

Hi Igor I appreciate your very informative videos, kindly discuss if black moves knight C6 instead of knight F6... Thank you very much.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

🙏

[@nazirkazi2531]

Thank you GM Igor! Of all the openings , I too like the Bishop's opening the best.

[@ingogoldbeck2886]

Great content igor! Thank you so much!! Could you please show us some cool lines of the kloosterboer gambit!?

[@anthonyjoevalen1]

Thanks Teacher you the best one!👍

[@thesingingfly]

I think it's equally likely to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit out of a Russian Game/Petrov Defense. After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6, Black might want to play a genuine Petrov, or, in the vast majority of cases, they want to play a Stafford Gambit. White can play the Italian against the Russian with 3. Bc4!?, gambit the e4 pawn, and play 4. Nc3 to get into the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit. If Black is primarily a Stafford Gambit player, Black may try to play the same most common move against the Stafford Gambit Accepted with the d6?? blunder. If Black is a mainline Petrov player, then the Boden-Kiezeritsky Gambit is going to be super sharp (unlike most Petrov Defenses) and take Black out of their comfort zone. If Black chickens out of taking the free pawn and plays 3. ...Nc6, this is now the Two Knights Defense of the Italian Game. White can already play 4. Ng5!, and you tell the Petrov player, "good luck defending the Fried Liver Attack". Completely different and super sharp repertoire.

[@user-wo1gh1mx2y]

Hey Igor. Great content. But was wondering you didn't cover blacks pawn move d6 once the Stafford gambit for white realised...

[@josephsalmonte4995]

As a reckless soul myself I look forward to going for all-out attack 👍

[@AbirBiswas-gd7ht]

Sir ur video helped me a lot. So sir please upload basic endgame videos. Such as queen vs rook checkmate, Rook enddings, Rook vs other minor piece checkmate, Queen vs other minor piece checkmate, Advance pawn endgame. Actually i tell you because, i understand Your videos better than others. Lots of love from Bangladesh ❤️🇧🇩

[@smithyq6335]

This looks like an incredible amount of fun. Unfortunately, after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Nf3, Black can play 3...Nc6 and reach a normal Italian Two Knights, so we get "tricked" into playing the mainline anyway.

[@Mrpopperer]

Even so...now you can play the fried liver Ng5! which at least gains a pawn (in Na5 line) or play an exciting king hunt game if they go Ke6 to expose their king (in Nxd5 line)

[@redmardamsma7917]

Even worse, black can play 4…Nc6 after 4. Nc3 which transposes to a bad line of the Italian for white

[@conradgeorge6921]

Hey Igor. Very interesting but At 7:33 if the pawn doesnt take on E5 but istead they push the pawn to D6 then that blocks the attack on C4 and its a double attack on your knight and bishop. Any ideas?

[@Catspostytshorts]

Deadly opening can’t wait to play this in blitz

[@PotatoChess-we7rj]

4:00 Ne6+ black plays Ke7 then Bg5 pinning the queen to the king

[@GreatestClips00]

1. Ne6+ Ke7 2. Bg5 Pinning the Queen.

[@herymademamajapahit-demak-9459]

Thanks for the lesson..👍👍.

[@alanfrost75]

A friend of Hans Niemann ... I literally spat my drink out lol

[@NugaWijaya-p1x]

Master i want to ask, To become a strong player, do we have to memorize a lot of opening moves? and whether we have to memorize every step after that until the endgame?

[@ศกรโสมาภา]

13:00 black doesn’t need to protect f7 here. Black can play Nc6. This is my main move (although I played it from a different move order) which is absolutely hated by stockfish but if you ever played Traxler before you’ll know white can die in a dozen different ways. Even more so in this variation where black don’t have the e pawn. Bxf7 which is relatively harmless in Traxler still leads to a lot of traps in this variation. Although I don’t recommend playing this if you’re playing 10 minutes game above 1900 elo.

[@Jowen811]

I am a beginner trying to improve my game, and this is probably a rookie move both on mine and blacks part, but after moving bishop to c4 what is the best response if black moves pawn to b5 or d5. I know only a rookie would probably move that piece. Just wondering still.

[@joshuaikechukwu781]

Igor. You are a good chess tutor. Biafrachessprodigy of Lichess of 1000 rating is now 1500 and Beat 2000 Rated players. Thanks for your videos.

[@ohyeahohyeah1071]

Nc6 is what I personally play against the Bishop's opening, because most of my opponents follow that up by moving their queen out

[@0199128]

Me watching igors video on repeat for an hour then going into a game to try it out and i start with black for 10 games in a row and forget everything i learned

[@gollumchess]

BTW, I & engine both never liked Stafford Gambit and was about to skip this video But I think this line will win a loads of game to me online. No one is going to play chess like that & find so many weird correct moves 😂

[@rosarioblasetti6935]

Why do not sacrify the Knight before the castle at min 7:05 ? Thanks

[@donkringtv5167]

@1:00 stockfist 3200 played Nd6, instead capturing the Knight from c3

[@bertrc2569]

Since this bishops opening is also the scholars checkmate opening the response has to be nc6, surely. According to his previous videos anyway ?

[@reddevilkev]

Where is the video when Black plays Nc6 ?! Can’t find it

[@jimsullins9162]

At 4:05 you can still win the queen with the knight check, cause then B-g5

[@Potbelly76]

Ne6+ ke7 bg5!

[@satya360_Challa]

What are the moves after 12:26

[@JailerLB]

and if someone plays all these moves against you, he must be a friend of Hans Niemann lmao

[@wazsam2723]

"Not quite my tempo"

[@javiersaturno9689]

what to play if instead of 6...d6, black plays 6...kc6?

[@Fishy_17]

I’d much rather play the Urusov gambit. It’s a lot more difficult to refute and just as aggressive.

[@dougchart]

tactical puzzle : Bishop to D6 leaving Knight to F7 possiblr follow up

[@gollumchess]

friend of Hans Niemann 😂😂😂😂. This coming from a GM is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@nichtdu5051]

At 10:51 why would they move the rook when after you take the white queen is hanging?

[@NevarKanzaki]

He shows it because it is incorrect, then shows a proper defense after. It isn't that unnatural a move since if they don't see Bc4, to them black is simply winning the knight.

[@gerritdeheij]

10:45 why putting the rook away?? the knight can`t take the rook because the queen can be attack after that

[@x3r0prime45]

Ne6+ Ke7 Bg5 wins the queen

[@mlandallkayanatinto3171]

Lawsuit on the way.😂😂😂

[@Young_as_Lenin]

it looks like best opening ever

[@Fishy_17]

Not the best. In the f6 line, there’s Nc6 instead of d6, and after f4 black has f5 and a really nice position.

[@Nill757]

Sorry how does nc6 change the qh5 threat? If after f4, black p- f5, then nxp, pxn, q-h5 chk, again, mate coming.

[@Fishy_17]

@@Nill757 If Nxf5, then d5 is a zwischenzug and black is winning a piece.

[@dragonore2009]

I realize the video is doing a reverse stafford gambit, but before that, wouldn't black just contest the center right away with d5? Y'know e4, e5, Bf4, d5

[@jaquinlaner9128]

Friend of Hans Neiman💀

[@neoxyyofc]

💀

[@ศกรโสมาภา]

I promise I thought about those move on my own. Not sure if I’ll actually play it in game tho. d5 does look natural but the bishop move would definitely not be played in a blitz game. I probably won’t have much time left after reaching here and just took the bishop.

[@_v2.0]

massive shade thrown lmao 😂

[@davidthornton5327]

Friends of Hans Nieman 🤣

[@Paul_2023.]

Some reckless souls 😂😂😂

[@dougchart]

Sorry Bishi=op to E7

[@mrnelgin]

This is all great if only I didn't forget it all by the time I have written this comment lol.

[@nayonchess6210]

❤❤❤

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

[@plokenv]

This is called the urusov gambit lol

[@mlandallkayanatinto3171]

Law sui

[@Traviii97]

Ne6 Ke7 Bg7 Qxe7 Nxe7 .....

[@ingogoldbeck2886]

The main advantage of the bishops opening is the flexibility. I just discovered 😊

[@Lordspylotr]

first

[@starxignite498]

Black lives matter😢

[@Benjamin-chan]

Not in chess 😂

[@govtaxserf7941]

I fail to see the difference between the bishop's opening and the italian game, you are basically just choosing to develop the same in a different variation....

[@yerlibilgin2]

Hans Niemann :)
