I'd like to know if you would say the same about Bishop to F4, as it is a very common Queen's pawn opening. And I'm sorry if you have already covered this. It seems to be one recommended or played by a few GM's... Even when an enemy pawn comes out and forces the bishop back. Apparently, losing that tempo is mainline?
@Ayelis Жыл бұрын
To clarify, the way it is normally set up, the F4 Bishop is one rank forward from a knight much like in this setup, usually with a D3 Bishop in front of another knight. I imagine it could be easily exploited in the same way?

This is now one of my favorite videos, because I see this opening somewhat frequently; so, hopefully I’ll get to put it to use soon. This is a brilliant response to a common opening position, but then everything you post strikes me as brilliant. You’re an excellent chess coach and I appreciate the straightforward manner in which you present these videos, avoiding superfluous talk, getting right into the learning that we all come here for. Most of us out here are not properly trained and don’t really know what we’re doing. We’re just learning little bits like this along the way and hopefully improving. Much of our chess knowledge is out of context with overall strategy play. That’s why I also appreciate you demonstrating so many different variations that can happen with this position and how to respond accordingly. I’m now a faithful subscriber, looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!

Experience and knowledge of known traps. The more games you play and analyze, the less games you blunder the same idea. Blunders never go away, you only mitigate them. Also opening/tactical motif books can help you with that. Also do a bunch of puzzles, that’s about it. Just remember that we’re all human and make mistakes, a lot of them, just focus on ingraining the tactical ideas into your head once you discover them. You can fall for a trap/tactic once, maybe twice, but never more than that. If you fall for the same trap/tactic more than twice, you need to go back to the drawing board because you never understood it to begin with

In spite of it being wrong, I win MANY games by sacking the bishop with B×fP+ It may be incorrect, but many players panic if they can't castle. Proof of this attachment to castling is in how some players try almost anything to stop you castling! G.M. Smirnov, do you have a video specifically about how to strengthen the king in the centre if your opponent is intent on stopping you from castling? I usually get the bishops in the centre near the king and advance the flanks in chains to support the knights but it doesn't always work. BTW this is yet another game changing tutorial from you, thanks. My favourite chess teacher.

When white reponds properly and the game is completely equal, a lovely move to continu with is 7... Ne7. Unless white moves de bishop back (8. Bd3, blocking the queens pawn) or plays 8. c3 white is still going to lose material. f5 followed by e4 will double attack bishop and knight again. If black takes on e5, there is Qd4 which will win a piece as well. When white also plays perfect the next few moves, black gives white only little space to play which will make your opponents blunder often. And if that also doesn't work, you have an easy draw. A sample continuation in case white plays well: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bc4 Nxe4 5. Nxe4 d5 6. Bd3 dxe4 7. Bxe4 Ne7 8. c3 f5 9. Bc2 e4 10. Nd4 c5 11. Ne2 c4 12. b3 Ng6 13. bxc4 Bc5 14. O-O O-O 15. d4 exd3 16. Bxd3 Qf6 17. Nf4 Nxf4 18. Bxf4 Bd7 19. Be2 Bc6. White is a pawn up but it's an isolated double pawn. Nobody can claim the center anymore. This opening is actually nice to play as white as well in tournaments when you face a much stronger opponent. They will lay out the traps for you, you answer them correctly and offer them a draw when position is equal :)

Right when I got off this video, I played the bishop e2 move and my opponent had no clue how to deal with the fork. He sacked his bishop then immediately resigned after blundering his knight on the next move. I'm impressed how easy it was to implement that trap. My opponent didn't immediately move his bishop to c5, so it was a delayed trap, but it was still effective with both his knights developed. Going to have to look at variations though if I play against someone who doesn't move their bishop there since I did get sorta worried that they wouldn't fall into the trap.

I never remember this when I play black. I know of it since 30-40 years ago, but keep failing to remember it. Four Knights Game, where I have the option to play Nf6 ahead of Bc5 (to avoid 3 knights games with Ng5(going for fried liver)) is few and far apart. That said, there are tons of players who opens somewhat unorthodox (Nc3 and Bc4 ahead of Nf3 for example) where this possition would arise if I played my knights out before Bc5. So, ty for the info.
@GuidingOlive2 жыл бұрын
Had this happen in a game against a coworker but like he said it's hard to fully capitalize on. I took with the bishop, he took with the queen I defended with the pawn, he pressured with bishop to g4, I castled kings side, he took the knight on f3, I recaptured with queen to f3, then he made the fatal error of not seeing the threat and played Bishop to d6. The reason this is fatal is because it allows knight to f6 check. Seems like a blunder but if you've followed my horrible notation then you'd know my queen is on f3 and his queen was on d5, my queen's diagonal. And in check with no way to prevent queen captures on d5 as my next move. I'm not a great chess player, but I know some tricks when I spot them.

Bishop on c4 is an error if, and ONLY IF, black has already developed the second knight in f6, and believe me or not (I play around 800 ELO opponents in Blitz only), very few do. If they don't, then you move Kg5 to attack the f7 pawn and many opponent just panic at this point... Your Queen can move to e2 or even to h6, it remains a good and agressive opening... at this level - if your opponent is more ranked than 800 you'll probably be destroyed !!!

Hi GM Igor I really want to ask because I have seen a few example in your videos that using bishop to pin knight and queen or knight and king, and you always say this could be annoying to the opponent but I always wonder why is that because we all know that bishop can be easily chased away right away by a3 or h3 pawn and then b4 or g4 pawn. But your videos usually stopped at saying pining is annoying to opponent but never mention the opponent could easily drive it away. Can you counter this part? How to counter when opponent drive your bishop away right after you set the pin

@Giovanni19722 жыл бұрын
That is a playable move to try to chase the bishop away. But then the bishop just moves back to maintain the pin. Then you have to use your other pawn to continue to chase. But by then your pawn structure around your king creates weaknesses for him. Pushing away one time with h3 is no problem usually, though, and so you should consider that move. I should add that I"m not a Chess master, but just an intermediate player. :)

Nice tactic, but it didn't do Paulsen any good against Morphy. He was OK after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bb5 Bc5(?) 5.O-O O-O 6.Nxe5! Re8 ( ... Nxe5?) but then began to go astray with 7.Nxc6?, instead of 7.Nf3 Nxe4 8.d4.

At 5:35 you say "and it is still completely over for white". How is it over? The queen and rook defend one another...

They don't? King is in between. Anyway, white has to sack the exchange to not lose it's queen - Rxf3, exf3. Now black is threatening Qg1#, so you have to play d3 (or d4). Black plays a check - f2+. White king moves to the 2nd rank , to d2 or e2, and sets itself for an x-ray attack from the black queen. Black promotes the pawn to a new queen with a check and wins the game - it has an extra queen.
