@GMIgorSmirnov you are one of my favorite teachers ❤

[@lamacabs6837]

Exceptionnel, thank you very much Igor. Yours teaching it's à very clever, powerful teaching. I'm a beginner just playing since august 2022. I've bought all your Master Class, and after à few month, i'beat 2110 elo opennents. Thanks very much, Claude

I don't think you can claim that the move 10...d3 is a mistake at 10:01 unless you give full analysis of the line after 11.Qe4 Nb4. The most critical line seems to be 12.0-0 Nc2 13.fxg7 Rg8 14.Bg5 Qd5 15.Qxh7 Kd7 16.Nbd2 Qf5 which seems to be approximately equal according to the best computer analysis that I can do. As long as black is aware of the move 11...Nb4 I don't think the other moves are that difficult to remember so I think 10...d3 is quite playable on a practical level.

[@juangalton999]

Leave it to Dubov to completely ignore mainline theory and come up with something magical.

[@alekhinesgun9997]

The b4 idea is actually well known theory, though his Queen sacrifice was indeed majestic

[@ThePapaja1996]

Richard Rapport can do crazy stuff to

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Excellent explanation of an interesting novelty in an ancient opening. Bravo!

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BobChess]

This gambit is super mind blowing! Brilliant queen sacrifice

[@michaels4255]

At 15:43, what if BLK places c3, sacrificing the isolated pawn in a potential bishops of opposite color endgame, which will allow him to develop his N to ...c4 and then to ...d6, planning Kd7/QRe8/Kc8 and also at some point he will be able to attack the pawn on g7 with his N and R. Not a great position, but it looks drawable. But let's go back to an earlier position at 9:03 where Igor quickly dismissed the wisdom of BLK's N on e4 after WHT moved his B to d5. While that probably was not BLK's best option, still, why could BLK in this position not play ...Nxf2; Kxf2, d4xc3+; Kf1, c2; Qxc2, Nxb4; Qb3 and BLK will for now finish down a N for 2 pawns, but the position is dynamic and the WHT e4 pawn is a potential target and the WHT K has lost castling rights.

[@williamclayton3164]

From the game instead of castling white could try 1)Bxf7ch, KxB 2)e6ch, dxe6 3)Ne5ch, Ke8 4)Qh5ch, g6 5)Nxg6 and Black is in trouble

[@pavlobelyaev5530]

6:39 Bxc3 - what if Black Ke7. Then we would be able to catch the King or the Queen. Wouldn't be better for Whites to play Ne5 instead?

Sangat menarik pelajaran Chess dari Mr. GM Igor Smirnov

[@AlessandroOrlandi83]

Finally an opening that is happening to me all the time and I don't have to remember much. Or so I hope! Thank you very much, good video!

[@m42orion12]

Been playing the evans/itallian alot lately....love it.

[@Atilolzz]

Playing B4 in the Italian is an instant win obviously

[@Ro-12-21]

6:35 What about knight to e5? Traps the queen.

[@2001blackwolf]

Sir,your explain is nice and clear..thank you for teaching brilliant ideas behind every moves💛💛💚

[@andrewmays3988]

They're all great lessons, but this video could be your best!! Thank you!!!😇

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Wow, thanks!

[@Versutus]

i love igor so much

[@seeker6369]

Awesome tutorial

[@Siderite]

Very entertaining! Thanks!

[@Danumurti18]

Italian game, the opening engine can't comprehend. Alot of tactics (from Greco, Chigorin, etc), you can't rely on engine analysis for suggesting moves, they'll miss alot of best moves and completely wrong in their analysis bar.

[@ramilparedes9930]

Very helpful

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Glad to hear that

[@CashIsMoney]

im a noob on chess after i watched this i felt like a pro

[@theoonderko]

what if they play f6 instead of ne7 3:16

[@coffeebot7016]

Exf6, gxf6 and now white has a powerful attack against the open king, especially utilizing the d1-h5 diagonal

[@alekhinesgun9997]

Simply Bh4 maintains the tension and keeps the center closed for the time being so you can castle next move. Black is still extremely cramped and unable to develop. Playing exf6 like Coffeebot suggested is inaccurate because it only helps black develop and liquidate his cramped position.

[@peterchess01]

Why not d5 instead of Ne4?. Seemslogical

[@ytmndman]

Your audio is inconsistent in volume in this video

[@divyanshujain5809]

Dubov is my favorite current grandmaster.

[@mustaphakassab3943]

Amazing ❤❤

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thanks 😄

[@satyajitmohapatra2943]

Isn't this simply a transposition to Evans gambit?

[@peterfriedl6206]

Sorry but this (b4 after exd4) was in 2020 played by Daniel Dubov against Karjakin. Definetely big players !

[@MrAaronvee]

The Evans Gambit idea is not new.

[@buceesrok8961]

Sick game play

[@MrDocninja]

No, effective and cool kind of playing, it works👌✌️😎😄

[@rockagamez7704]

It’s not cause you just take with the black knight instead, take with bishop, check. If white castles bring knight to g4. Whites in troubles. Your queen gets involved, bishop gets in

[@robertehrenworth3310]

Brilliant novelty

[@skrish2]

wow!
