there's a lot to cover as black. for example, I don't play Nxf7 as white, I play Bxf7+ and then Bd5

I really enjoyed that king hunt in the middle of the board. I paused the video when you said "Can you find the mate in 7?" and nitially thought "It's a mate in 3 if white does the natural move, so what else can white do?" It was quite funny to see that white is basically forced to take a knight to stay alive, but ends up further and further in Black's territory until it's completely trapped. It's often a bad idea to move your *queen* into the middle of the board in the opening, but you definitely don't want your king coming to the seventh rank!

[@ChessSensei]

Glad you enjoyed the checkmate and your analysis is spot on! Keep up the great work! 👍

[@carrotlemon2665]

thank you! this is very helpful

[@bandito4176]

It’s very risky if you don’t remember all the moves or you don’t see a trick that the opponent plays, and you’ll just be down a bunch of material if you mess up. But still, I love playing the traxler against people since it is so fun to crush my opponents. Also, a counter to the traxler is just capturing the pawn with the bishop and giving a check, and then defend e4 with the pawn so the knight can’t go there and you’ll just be up a pawn, also, the opponent can’t castle since they have to move from the bishops check.

[@mebunzing]

Very true. So better avoid the Liver altogether I guess

[@einfischnamenspanda3306]

Yes. White does not have to defend e4 if they retreat the bishop after pawn capture, cause the knight does so anyway. And if the knight is attacked it can still go for the fork. Either avoid the liver or play the line suggested by the engine

[@marcosdinizribeiro8928]

If you do that, Blacks have h6 and you lose a piece. No castle, indeed.

[@bombswabs3041]

since watching your incredible video regarding the scholar's mate defense. I havent lost to it since. And as it seems about 50% of the random players I encounter attempt this tactic. Today i played someone trying scholars mate. Twice they offered me a draw (likely because the trick wasn't working) I declined twice. After a couple of more moves. They resigned. Your channel really deserves to have over 100k subscribers due to its wonderful utility. Your knowledge will drastically help keep people interested in playing the game instead of being discouraged losing in humiliating fashion due to chess tricks. For what its worth thanks again for all you do. Im so glad I found your channel.

[@ChessSensei]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you've been successfully defending against the scholar's mate. Most beginners usually look for quick wins, which is why they try to checkmate their opponents asap. I appreciate your support for the channel, and I'm glad our content has been helpful. Keep up the good work and best of luck in your future matches! 🌟👍

Another good option to counter it is the Blackburn Schilling Gambit

[@menariavines8325]

Sensi there is also a forced checkmate in Ke3 variation. If after Qh4. Nxh7 (which leads to forced mate in 3) First Qf4+ kd3. Nb4+. now the king is forced to move on e2 and Qf2# There is also force mate in 4 Nxh7. Qf4+. Now if king goes on e2 then Qf2+ now king is forced to d3 After d3 there are two checkmate. First after kd3 Nb4+. King is forced to take e4 and Qf4# Second After kd3. We can play Nc5+ now king is forced to c3 and Qd4#

[@MankeyMite]

As a fried liver user in 1500 elo, I have been crushed by this before, but I started seeing it so much that I had to learn to counter it. When I play against fried liver, I prefer playing something like F5 since it's less common and likely they don't know how to counter that.

[@aaku2684]

I have learned the first line a bit differently. You are actually able to win a queen in line 1. It starts with Kf3 Qf6 Kxe4 Qf4+ Kd3 and here starts the madness - d5 (brilliant nove according to the computer. The bishop is threatened and so is the knight. If he tries to be greedy and instead of taking d5 pawn with bishop he takes the rook with the knight and also try to save the knight, Qe4+ Kc4 Qxc5# is beautiful checkmate) If he takes d5 with bishop, Qxd5 Nxh8 (most likely) and bammmm Bg4+ skewers the queen and you are winning

[@ChessSensei]

Absolutely! Pawn to d5 is indeed a brilliant move and offers exciting possibilities. Thank you for sharing your insightful comment! However, please keep in mind that our content is tailored for beginners to intermediate players, focusing on practical concepts and providing a simplified approach to variations. While we strive to cover essential ideas, we may not delve into higher-level analysis and intricate variations.

[@cringename2757]

Bg4+ doesnt work as the bishop on d5 can block the skewer and u lose Ur advantage so u play Qxd5 brilliant move and if the knight captures the rook u can do the skewer

[@aaku2684]

@@cringename2757 oops sorry I messed it up. What ur saying is correct we first take d5 bishop with queen which is another brilliant move. Then we skewer. Let me edit my comment

Super enlightenment

[@RzSkin]

Great content! Thanks for sharing. Although, just as a constructive comment for beginners, I had to evaluate some variations where white would play Rf1 when qxf7 happens in a variation… I have to guess that having your queen attacked with tempo + blocking castling rights is quite uncomfortable for beginners! Nonetheless I would give a 4.9/5 for the content!!! (New subscriber here) Thanks again 🙏🏼

[@ChessSensei]

Thank you for your support! Are you talking about the position at 2:50? If White plays Rf1, Black can respond with Nd4+ first, followed by Qg6, attacking the g2 pawn. In this scenario, Black's inability to castle kingside is not a significant issue. Black can proceed with moves like d6, Be6/Bg4, and queenside castling 0-0-0. The rook on f1 doesn't pose any immediate threats along the f-file, and White is actually the one facing difficulties in castling.

Sensei, great channel. Subscribed. One question, at around 6:10, when the king moves o g1, why cannot we give a check fom d4 and win the bishop!? Thanks for you work Sensei. 1 love.

[@ChessSensei]

Thank you for your support and the sub! Regarding your question, you are asking about why 9... Qxg3 as shown in the video. and why not 9... Qd4+ right? Because after 9... Qd4+ White can simply play 10. Kg2 and if you take the bishop 10... Qxc4, our rook on h8 is hanging so white can capture with 11. Nxh8. Remember, we already sacrificed 2 pieces, that's why we need to bring our rook to safety first and then only win the bishop and knight back. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. I'm here to help you!
