Chess For Beginners: Killing Damiano's Defense

[@bluehatchesschess3478]

Mio is back! Great start. Cant wait to see the other e4 e5 lines.

[@mayday7675]

Four years later, this channel is still going strong, and we've learned a lot along the way!

[@arnoldemergence5978]

You're a _friendly FM from France_ going to a tournament to have a nice time and then you sit down at the board opposite *THE BUTCHER* who proceeds to mercilessly dismember you *piece by piece*

[@jmatthew4629]

Damiano was the first guy who showed it is bad, he didn't play it. Great video, keep up the good work!!!!!

[@reedsexton3973]

Yes made me so sad to hear him say Damiano was a weak player, poor Damiano was extremely strong for his time but his legacy is this opening that he didn't even like

[@brysonxd]

Oh I didn't know that, that makes more sense, thanks for clearing that up:)

[@stefanamilutinovic4300]

Finally!!! We expect at least two-three videos per week :)

[@oleksandrmatlak4284]

Wow! What a knight maneuver in the end!

Mr. Butcher. You are great. Jaw dropping lecture. Thank you so much

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thank you on kind words Ibrahim 👍 I will do my best to come up with even better content in the future 😀

[@loffredabernardes]

Just recently found ypur channel when i was looking for some lines against the philidor and i really love the way you teach! I hope ypu keep uploading some more lessons!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Loffreda Thanks a lot and enjoy the content!

[@voteforno.6155]

I just found one of your videos at Chessbrahs. I have never enjoyed studying openings much but I like your style. Esp. taking time to explain the ideas and why the inferior lines are lost.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

vote for no. 6 Thanks for kind words! Keep watching and support us :)

[@splnter648]

Butcher, your videos explained chess strategy better than any other channel. Thank you

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks pal 👍

[@oleksandrmatlak4284]

Very interesting! Looking forward to next videos from Master

[@marijastojanovic2212]

Video is great! And lesson is useful special for "first chess steps".Thank you Butcher!

[@aminsamani5166]

The competition gets tougher for anyone trying to do anything against the BUTCHER

[@williamflynn267]

Brilliant Mio! Love the video and thank you for these valuable videos!!

[@karlviiol]

Oh yes! My favourite is back. You actually got me hooked on chess.

[@nickmason1307]

Good job, Mio. Keep it up!

Glad you’re happy 😃

[@dpayO2]

Ah! I spent ages trying to find Na8 but never found it! Nice move!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

dpayO2 yeah, it is quite unusual type of tactical combination :)

[@alsh7107]

Very instructive. I hope you gain more traction in order to improve that mic quality so we can hear the instructions just that much better! Thank you!

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

It was the first video ever, check videos nowdays!

[@willmcgill550]

This video has helped me get some quick wins, not just with Damiano's defense but in other situations with an early f6. I always ask myself if I can play Nxe5 and if not whether I can change things so I can.

[@alibaniasadi3074]

Best video for damiano defence obviously

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Definitely 😉

[@milosk6224]

Mio is back!

[@DailyWorldWideNews945]

i was just watching this video, 1 min later i played a blitz round and my opponent was playing damiano defense and i completely destroyed him xD

Sometimes openings are named after the player who played them, other times it is named after the person who published the analysis of the opening. This is a case of the latter.

[@mikinikolic149]

The best butcher in the world!!! 😀😀😀

[@baalplays7855]

At 9:30: When they play g5, you actually have an even better move! If you play Queen f7, it leads into a mate in 5 sequence: 12. Qf7 Bb4+ 13. Nc3 Bxc3 14. bxc3 Bxe4 15. hxg5+ Qxg5 16. Rxh5# Of course, black's bishop moves are computer moves just played to delay the inevitable... If black does nothing to prevent it after Qf7, hxg5 followed by Rxh5 will be mate & cannot be stopped. Hope you find this interesting!

[@francoischevalier2151]

Great again:)

[@username-ur6dq]

9:29 after g5 bishop shouldn't take and you should play Qf7 resolting in a forced mate in a couple of moves

[@chessmates9609]

Super Bata Micko!

[@brysonsharp4557]

What should you do when they defend the pawn on g 6 with the bishop?

[@ace942]

I actually got to play in a blitz game. Thanks for the video.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Thanks Jose :)

[@mladenpopovic4941]

Cestitam vam na prvom videu ne mogu da docekam sledeci

[@Mast3rMahan]

Can anyone explain the following. Butcher said that after you take the pawn with your knight, if the opponent moves anything but their queen, you check them with your queen.. but what if after your knight takes on E5, if they move their knight to E7?? It seems like a mistake to then check with your queen on H5. Am I wrong?

[@zangetsutensa2082]

Idemooo

[@echecsmaternelles1076]

Hxg is better than F(bishop) xg.?

[@mr.prometheus3320]

Miooooooooooo!

[@Dman222000]

So they play g3 to block the check, then you take the pawn, they block with the Queen, then you take the rook, then they play Nf6 and trap the queen. Now what?

[@guillaume6399]

Nice video worked 4 hours on it ^^ Im from France by the way rip ^^

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Merci beaucoup Guillame! A bientot 😉

Thanks Guillame for donation! 👍

[@emitizmo7456]

When queen goes to a5 you attack her with knight and give the piece back then move the rook to b8 and/if queen takes pawn on a7 move rook to b6. I've gotten out of those situations so many times and the best part is I came with it myself as a complete noob. Ha

[@emitizmo7456]

By this time all your pieces are pretty much open while the opponent hasn't developed anything except queen and bishop so you can defend and attack however you want. I haven't lost a single game after managing to prevent the checkmate at the begging. Opponents are usually baffled and have no idea how to proceed.

[@EngineeringChampion]

Mio, I like your lectures, maybe because we play alike. I'm 1800 though.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Glad to hear that buddy 👍

[@ZacharyClark-w4w]

You have something better than winning the queen for three minor pieces. You have unstoppable checkmate after you take the bishop and you play Qf5+ and d4+. Do NOT go for the bishop fork. Go for Qf7, and after dealing with any mate-delay checks (a.k.a. 12...Bb4+ 13.c3 Bxc3+),play hxg5+ and Rxh5#. Ran that through the computer, best moves for you.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

I believe you man 👍

[@ZacharyClark-w4w]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Also, according to the engine, after (4...fxe5?? 5Qh5+) actually the less bad option is to play g6. In my opinion, king move is only better if opponent forgot follow-up (which you of course don't know until you find out the hard way.)

[@leiabryanttheredneckfemini1445]

I played d3 and went for a king's Indian attack position in response to that opening was that wrong?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Of course it was wrong, learn the video (file) and win the game! Cheers!

Nikako, ovo je odličan primer "dvostrukog napada " - uporedo sa šahom dobijaš i izvaredne lekcije engleskog jezika. Samo napred! Odlične lekcije.

[@marioromero84]

Wait a second! (5:55) But after 4. Qh5+, g6. 5. Qxe5+, Qe7. If White takes the Rook on h8, is a blunder. Black has 6... Qxe4+ and they have won the initiative. So your theory to refute the Damiano defense is inaccurate.

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

Please take it easy and before you write something down and come up with some claims, better check twice. You got too excited without much sense...🤦‍♂️

[@marioromero84]

@@MiodragPerunovicOfficial Don't take my comment the wrong way, please. Sorry if it sounded a little rough, I don't mean to disrespect here. But I really want to know more in depth about Damiano defense. To me, if White take the Rook on h8, seems a questionable move. Could you explain that variation?

[@MiodragPerunovicOfficial]

“So, your theory to refute the Damiano defense is inaccurate” - as far as I am concerned it sounds very tendentious. Anyways, after 6. Qh8 Qe4 7. Kd1 White is up an exchange and pawn while Qg8 is threatened too. All things considered, engine says + 3... i guess they know better than both of us...
