I used to play the old benonie defense thinking it was my own gambit to derail a central pawn, I usually put the knight under the pawn to stop it from pushing and kinda get a sicilian defense like position

Gave it a try as a 1400. I forgot the best moves in the line and ended up down a pawn early but the position was good enough that once they eventually made a blunder, I was able to go to a winning endgame. I found it simpler than trying to play the NImzo-Indian which is what I had started learning to play against d4. I think I'll be playing more of this one.

I think Igor is very smart. That's why I am following him. He's always explaining well, calmly and analyse all the possible situations, some of them I don't even think about. I am thinking: "Oh, wow I did not take that move into consideration."

@NothingFromMe 2 ай бұрын

It would be constructive to address the main issue with e6, which is holding on to the d6 pawn once white plays d5xe6, especially when white has played Bf4.

@resop3 4 ай бұрын

Another plan not mention for White is the Smith-Morra Gambit with 2.e4. However, I would be surprised if a d4 player was well versed in a e4 centric gambit.

@alae-eddinearbane2604 4 ай бұрын

Honestly all it would take for a d4 player to not fall for the SM gambit is if they play the sicilian vs e4, they would kinda have to know that, and now everyone 'plays' the sicilian 😂

NOT AGAIN IGOR! I was happy enough with the Hartlaub-Charlick getting me out of my slav-wall blues with EXACTLY the open center and *MOBILITY* this gambiteer lives or is suffocated by, but now you're gonna make me go back to the drawing board for a more-universal system that'll STAY tough to face after everyone starts dodging trap lines? I was looking into this, but I thought I needed to learn king's indian TOO to play old benoni and I hate fianchettos on either side of the board. I still never got around to studying the albin for hartlaub declined, but if this system gets rid of declined sideline blues, I'll give it a go. If I see g6 though... NOPE O.K. transposing to the benko as a sideline is a big plus as it's way more solid than albin. that was another one that i thought required kings indian to play too. YEP definitely BENKO! I don't like closed and old benoni proper is just stonewalling to me and i don't like having to stonewall birds. WAIT! it gives the bishop a tunnel OUT into the open? WOW! maybe i might like to try THAT, but benko is supposedly more aggressive and has great stats. I still love hartlab charlick annoying sidelines and all. open centers are my favorite. overextended position... mobility against it? that's part of my vocab. I don't like the look of inviting all those pawns so deep AT ALL. i hate pawns more than anything. i lik just getting them out of the way in the hartlaub for the mobility

@GMIgorSmirnov I would like to see a video on the Busch-Gass gambit, whether you think it's a good or dubious opening, how to play it and a good defense more importantly, how to utterly destroy my opponent if they use it! Destruction is not good enough for the Igor Nation, we want utter destruction! :)

I always play the Rosen Trap against D4. It works maybe 25% of the time, so it doesn't have a high chance of occuring, but when it does, it's devastating. What I like about it is that it completely shuts down the London system from the very first move too

@johnporcella2375 4 ай бұрын

What is the Rosen Trap?

@stephen3293 4 ай бұрын

@@johnporcella2375 The Rosen trap is when you're black and your opponent starts off with D4. You play E5. They take and then you play bishop C5. They usually play Knight F3 to protect their pawn and then you play pawn to D6. If they take your pawn, you then play horse to E7. If they take it, you sac your bishop by capturing their pawn on F2. This gives a check to their king. They take it and then you take their queen with your own queen. Just a VERY important thing to note. Once you take their queen, they may play pawn to E3 or E4 and it looks like you can capture their bishop on C1. You DO NOT take it because they can then check your king with their other bishop and this creates a discovered attack on your queen with their rook that you can't avoid.

@stephen3293 4 ай бұрын

@@johnporcella2375 Exactly. Literally whenever you play this, you will not face the London system or any of its variations. It's dubious like I said in my original comment, but trust me, when it works, it destroys them. You have your queen behind all of their pieces and you can pick them off one by one. You still have to be careful, but if it's successful, you basically win the game

@artichoke60045 4 ай бұрын

After 1. d4 c5 of course white should play 2. d5. Then if e6 white has Nc3 without having committed to c4 and the other N can go around to c4. This is all stuff "everyone" knows about this setup. But if you know your opponent won't play d5 and is just a one trick pony, I suppose it could be effective. White loses his advantage if he doesn't play d5.
