Igor always makes the videos so pleasurable to watch, throwing in cheeky comments (4:43) and explaining in a way everyone can understand! Keep it up! ❤😄

[@Shaun_GTI]

What a great little lesson, something as a beginner I would have never thought of doing! Thanks

[@BobChess]

It is easy to dodge a heavy punch because it is slow, but it is hard to dodge a barrage punch because it is fast. That's why this idea is very strong

[@Blanky01]

I was loosing a game once, and I remembered watching this video, so I used the rule and won!

[@ngyeowhwee8745]

Great video GM Smirnov, love your channel! Will definitely use this to improve at chess :) Was wondering at 3:09, why can't white play pawn 1.d5? Looked it up on Lichess, and in fact engine (Stockfish 14+) says it's actually better than Rdd1 by +1.0 points! The engine's idea: if black goes on to fork with 1...e4, white has 2.Nd4, threatening the knight. If black takes the rook 2...exd3, then 3.Nxc6 wins the knight while forking the bishop and rook; black was winning, but at this point engine says black is only slightly better (my guess is because black's e-pawn is no longer supported by f-pawn, but now stranded behind enemy lines and will be lost soon). Conversely, engine recommends 2...Nxd4 after 2.Nf4; as black is forced to recapture with 3.Rxd4, and then 3...Bf3 pins the rooks and wins a rook for a bishop

Underrated comment , deep knowledge and board vision for u❤️‍🩹

[@lew3733]

This is extremely useful in faster time controls but tends to drop off in slower, classical games. In slow time control it's better to search for the actual best move, which might not always be an attacking move.

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

I disagree. Attacking chess is always the right play (if you don’t have hikaru’s defense). You just have to calculate that the threats you make aren’t weakening your position. It requires calculation, but aggressive chess will always win out unless you’re a computer.

[@lew3733]

@@MyBiPolarBearMax This video was about making constant threats, you're confusing attacking style with making constant threats. Yes, attacking game style should be preferred but you shouldn't always make 10 threats in a row (at least not in slow time controls). There are many openings that lead to a lot of maneuvering in the middle game. You seem to however understand this perfectly well as you say that you need to calculate the threats not just "oh I can attack their queen here". Also, the games here were cherry-picked, could as well show Kasparov games where he is not playing like this and still winning.

8:15 why no Nxh3+? The check prevents takign the Queen and simultaneously puts Knight on a place where Queen defends it.

[@andrewphillipps8815]

Awesome video

[@KyrosQuickfist]

idk this is just how tempo works. If you are creating a threat, they need to waste moves defending and answering the threats. They would need to defend while also attacking at the same time to make any progress.

[@darrylkassle361]

Yes he learnt that from this video. He time travelled to the future saw your video then went back in time and used the advice even though strangely enough it was inspired by him. Quantum chess

[@richardcasey4439]

This seems like an excellent strategy

[@cikonianiggra1415]

Quite simple: The opponents were not able to create threats, so somebody who do not creates threats and is only defending his positions must loose after some time.

[@Chunda8]

Hi Igor I'm at 8:11- doesn't Kasparov have Nxh3+ after White's Qe3? This wins White's Queen as it's check, the King has to move or Queen captures the knight, either is forced followed by. ...Qxh3 or Qxe3.

[@atuema1602]

No because after Kg2 the knight is trapped.

[@Chunda8]

@@atuema1602 Aha I see what you are saying. If Kg2 or Kh2, it's just a queen trade after Qxe3 and the knight is still hanging. But, if fxe3 or Nxf3 I think black can retreat the knight to g5. Nxh3 is commital for Black as he has to do the queen trade or lose the knight as well. Thanks, Qa4 is better for black definitely.

[@atuema1602]

@@Chunda8 Yeah sorry I was in a hurry, bad way to phrase it the knight isn't trapped, what I meant to say is it forces a queen trade or your knight is trapped, in fact it's a perfectly okay way to proceed (taking the pawn), nothing particularly wrong with it. You're still clearly winning. But the point is you don't have to capture with the queen, you can just move the king forward. Qa4, and probably knight d3, are just better. Why grab a pawn when you can win the game!

[@shreshth691]

4:45 kasparov himself learnt from this video😂

[@tobiasengstrom8061]

I'm just happy to create one threat 😄

[@pressf4896]

In the Kasparov game, couldn’t white play knight takes rook instead of queen? This would keep his bishop defended by the queen

[@darrylkassle361]

So that means if you are being attacked and threatened be extra vigilant against blundering knowing that repeated pressure increases this likelihood so you increase your vigilance.

[@liberatoorillanedajr.5278]

GM Nigel Short once said, " Blunder does not happen in a vacuum, it came from an enormous sustained pressure".
