[@Cupix_]

I was thinking the same

[@amoycadaverine21]

one thing to note about early queen attacks are its position and your pieces position. yeah the queen looks scary, but always remember the queen cant mate by itself. it always needs at least one piece to deliver a mate. you gotta check all the squares on which the queen can attack you and defend properly. while you're driving the queen away (because enemy is looking for potential mate) you found yourself developing pieces more and they just keep on moving the same piece again and again achieving nothing.

[@lupsik1]

Technically it can mate alone, where even a rook couldnt. I said „technically” to underline that it doesnt matter, and you wrote everything perfectly and not to be snarky.

At 7:02, I think Nf5+ is also a good move. White's king is in a discovered check, and their queen is under attack as well

[@Anthony_LaVigna]

then theyd play Qd2, then youd have to move your knight out of the way of the attack from the pawn on e4, Nd4 gives up the knight, Nd6 causes a fork on the knights from the pawn, and anything else opens black up to a potential queen trade that prevents castling

[@quasiZote]

​​​​@@Anthony_LaVigna what about Nxe4 and after Qxd8+ simply Bxd8. the knight then threatens a fork on f2 resulting in your opponent Ke1. you're still able to longcastle and have more pieces developped. 1 pawn down at the cost of a better position. edit: to be clear; 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nf6 3. Qxe5+ Be7 4. d3 Nc6 5. Qg3 Nd4 6. Qxg7 Rg8 7. Qh6 d5 8. Kd1 dxe4 9. dxe4 Nf5+ 10. Qd2 Nxe4 11. Qxd8+ Bxd8 12. Ke1

The best piece of advice I got when I was new was just “look at every piece the queen attacks”. Incredibly obvious in theory, but just taking an extra second to be sure I’m not moving a key defender away from a piece meant queen attacks were suddenly easy to beat instead of terrifying

[@user-rc1hn]

4:34 Also in this situation, there is a fork with knight. (Knight X C2, that move forks Queen and Rook same time. It forces the King to move, because they can't eat the knight in any way, this way you both get a free queen and your opponent loses the right to castling.)

[@kzkaa.]

If your king isn't in check, then this would be a nice tactic.

[@dagmawi.tsegaye]

i was thinking that myself. that would've been spectacular.

[@dagmawi.tsegaye]

it wasn't though.

[@viytalic9049]

Even if you was in check, you'd eat the queen and be gobbled up by a pawn before you could even get the rook. I'm confused on why they'd have to move the king if the knight was at C2 as it can't reach E1

[@meltedspaceogd123]

It's called capture or take, not "eat"

[@edl5731]

On concept #3, you missed the best move, which was also the topic of your video from two days ago. Move the knight attacking the queen results in a discovered check and the knight is blocking the queen instead of checking with the bishop.

[@matthewm5066]

They can block with the queen though

[@liamlynch9460]

The queen can just come back and block the check, so there is no threat on their queen though

[@b-reyer8252]

@@Mileschad Yeah but you're down 2 pawns and 99% of the time it isn't a good idea to trade queens when you have a more active and attacking position

[@Chris-87]

I like how people think they know more than masters lol. That's not a great move because white plays Qd2 and you lose a lot of your attack. Bg4 is absolutely brutal. If Ke1, black plays Nxc2++ (mate). If Kd2, then black plays Nf5+, with the discovery now, white can't block with the queen. If white blocks the check with f3, Nf3, Ne2, or Bd2, then black captures with the knight and has a discovered attack with the queen, all of which are way more devastating

[@thomasnewton2935]

Move the knight in front of the white bishops pawn on the left side. You take a pawn and when he blocks with the queen, you take it with queen for checkmate.

[@Elipsis150]

This helped me so much. Just played a game where this exact thing happened. I counter attacked his Queen to where he eventually lined up the Queen behind the bishop on the white diagonal, and I made the knight move you mentioned sacrificing the pawn. He took the pawn putting my king in check, I moved the Queen up to get out of check, he realized his Queen was under attack so he moved it to the dark square, thus hanging the bishop so I was able to capture it with my king.

[@RobokiYT]

At 7:07, better move would have been Nf4 as there is discovered check and you win queen

[@Outcastsage9033]

They can play Qd2 which blocks check and offers a trade of queens

[@anantyadav3528]

7:01 the best move here is to bring the knight to f5 and that would be a discovered attack to king while at the same time queen would be under attack of that knight we just moved

I’m confused. 1:46. If opponent is going for a scholar’s mate, why suddenly would they do a “random move” instead of the bishop move to set up the mate? The whole analysis of attacking the Queen falls apart. Am I missing something? Shouldn’t the analysis be punishing the Queen and developing your pieces WHILE defending against the imminent check mate? If scholar’s mate is blocked, would’ve white just retreat the Queen?

Build a position in chess like a fire, start with the pawns as the tinder, then knights and bishops as the kindling and rooks and the queen the logs that you add on once the fire is nicely established. (Much harder than it sounds).

Thanks for the info, I’m at 450 elo and I like using the wayward queen to put pressure on my opponent and catch them off guard. I’m at a level where it works half the time and now I know how to recognize when it’s not working and recover before it’s too late.

[@oxifly276]

Goofy ahh

[@Pap3rGang]

7:03 in this position, I see a way to win a queen. If the knight goes to F5, there will be an attack on the queen while also a discovered attack on the king. They cannot take the knight that’s attacking the queen they cannot take the knight with the pawn. And if they do it will be an illegal move because your king is still in check. If anyone finds a good solution for white let me know.

[@solareclipsedudefinale9026]

I think Queen to d2 saves the position as the queen blocks the check and saves herself

[@soaringmonster]

Never thought guides to beating Nelson would get this complicated

[@ch-arts-us]

lmao

[@ubitialcosmos]

7:05, because you'd be forcing check, the King would move to the left, or down one square. If they moved to the left, that's forcing the fork all over again. If they moved down one, you could still go for the pawn, because that would open up the Queen head on to check again. If you don't want to lose your knight, you can simply move him to a spot that could also force check from Queen, while keeping pressure on/ guarding other pieces/being guarded.

I resisted thoughts that I had blundered and managed to develop a really strong middle attack with my other pieces directed at her un-castled king. Obsessed with freeing my queen, I suddenly realized the only safe move I had for it was to E7: checkmate. Completely unplanned. To the explosion of laughter from those watching, I realized instead of a win it was an escape (which I said to her), and I never wanted to play her again.

You should've went along with it lol

I like to make early queen attacks then pull my queen back to start. It's great for baiting out piece's that I want to make moves first. Plus, it's hard to punish if the queen just returns back to square one because you can't cut off the route. I never go for the early checkmates because I assume most people are smarter then that, though, I've gotten it a handful of times on people I knew weren't.

@@TheRomanianWolf Either one. Just depends on my mood. I prefer to bait them into thinking I'm going for the fools mate or a scholars mate, it typically pulls out a early bishop or knight, if not and they don't defend, I take another step forward towards it as long as I know it's still a safe option. Only pulling back once they move a piece the way I want or I end the match by checkmating them. It makes it easier to control the game if you control the piece's your opponent moves.

One thing I’ve noticed is that generally unless you’ve played a bunch of bad moves, you should be safe from an early Queen with no other pieces developed by de facto

7:03 if you play Nf5+ you pick up the queen

[@oooooAEooooo]

bro u made the worst moves on white

[@janjanveluz6937]

I just lost earlier to this type of early queen attack, thank you for making me learn much faster on what I have to do, ill continue watching your channel so I would become a better player

[@csongorpapp9807]

4:30 instead of taking the bishop with king, Nxc2+ is forking the king, queen and the rook aswell

[@csongorpapp9807]

7:00 also Nf5+ is a discovered check by the queen by also attacking the queen, the only good move for white here is Qe2, and then u can go for a queen trade or keep developing pieces while u held back his queen and also blocking his bishop

I'm more likely to use queen to protect a bunch of bishop attacks, but there's a knight move to stop that from being done.
