🔹 The Most Brutal Way to PUNISH Scholar's Mate Trick - • The Most Brutal Way to...
The Wayward Queen Attack (also known as the Danvers Opening or the Patzer Opening) is one of the most common chess tricks played at the club level, which happens after the opening moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Qh5.
Of course, the main idea of White is to follow up with 3.Bc4 and checkmate you with 4.Qxf7# which is the Scholar’s Mate. Additionally, their strategy is to continue playing normal chess if Black (you) defend against the checkmate threat.
However, you should not let them get away with playing this weird, desperate attack. That’s why, in this video lesson GM Igor Smirnov teaches you the brutal way to punish this Wayward Queen Attack or early queen attack.

[@BobChess]

Thank you so much. My friend has already know to play Wayward Queen correctly, but I don't think he would know this surprising line.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Great! Have fun surprising him.

Would you say this the new go to strategy to punish the early queen attack over the standard variations?

[@justicechristopher9780]

Brooooo... You are something else

[@isthatatree]

This video has the exact thumbnail and title style of gotham chess that came out more than 2 years ago

[@95castle]

How is black castling when they got checked on move 3?

[@arunavamukherjee2087]

what if at 3.04 after black plays d5. white still plays bishop h6 threataningcheckmate?

[@rileymanderscheid9805]

Your vids seem so cool. Seem? My opponents have never moved the way you say they most often do? So far I'm 0-14 when trying to apply your lines lol

[@Lovetheviolins]

Thank you oh wise and mighty one...

[@neko6803]

another idea worth exploring is actually e4 e5 Qh Nc6 Bc4 g5, repelling the Queen, Most players will the play Qf3 and you could then play f5 shortly after. If white takes with Queen, play d5 IMMIDEATLY, with a discoverd attack on the Queen (Bishop on c8) while simultaneously attacking whites Bishop on c4, winning it. Sure, it isnt as devastating as this, but it works too if you arent a fan of gambitting pawns.

[@neko6803]

that being said. some people take with Pawn (exf5) you will have to study how to go from there, i honestly forgor XD

[@st3foto]

I play wayward almost when I'm with white and it's good to know the counters

[@mikey3387]

Thank you for this. Your videos are great. I'm low level elo, but have won the last several games in a row. I find those tricksters immensely resign when they lose their queen. Bunch of no chess-playing fools

[@anthonybeckman9665]

Thank you! I'm so tired of facing this attack.

[@danielghorayeb2263]

Question at 2:57, what if he just goes bishop h7 you said he would? Aren’t you kinda screwed?

[@robertpease9834]

Bb4 double check, followed by RE1 mate

[@charc0al_tv]

Thanks for this video! You helped me crush my coworker who annoyingly always opens with wayward queen! It was 10 minute time constraint, here's how it went: 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 Nf6 3. Qxe5+ Be7 4. Bc4 O-O 5. Nh3 Re8 6. Qf5 d5 7. Qf4 dxc4 8. e5 Bd6 9. O-O Bxe5 10. Qxc4 Bxh3 11. gxh3 Qd6 12. Qg4 Nxg4 13. hxg4 Bxh2+ 14. Kh1 Qh6 15. d4 Bf4+ 16. Kg2 Qh2+ 17. Kf3 Qh3+ 18. Kxf4 Qxf1 19. Nc3 Qxf2+ 20. Kg5 f6+ 21. Kh5 Qh2# 0-1

[@bentonkrauss6280]

I am new to chess and just got destroyed on an online game from this move! Thanks.

[@randylplampin1326]

Dancing queen? Am I hearing strains of ABBA in the background by any chance?

[@tamaskalvin1109]

What if at 5:26 after Bh4 white plays Bxc2 offering a queen trade?

[@teoduloabantejr5416]

[@willfrancomb3203]

6:36 Isn't that just a M3 for black? With Be3. If Knight blocks then you just take it and win. If Bishop recaptures, you retake with knight and have two different Mate threats that cannot both be stopped. Qd1 & Qd2, each square is protected by one of the knights. You can take one of them or move the white knight to cover one of the squares, but you can't stop both.

[@charliemarley1513]

Bd3 will delay the mate

[@jopekpl3986]

I have a great idea for an episode. Brumenfeld countergambit. It ain't so known and can be pretty good for black. Maybe you'll be interested. Btw great episodes. I love them.

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@blassynilmah3624]

I will be wishing i get such an opponent from now

[@aayamkoirala]

Hello

[@hoofhearted1102]

Why would they worry about the pawn forking their pawn and bishop at 3:00 when they have checkmate in two and don’t need to get distracted by this? Also, what should you do if they don’t take but move the pawn forward to threaten the horse, as it’s got no where to go?

[@crimson8076]

i think he showed both possibilities, at 3:00 he showed if they took your pawn, and at 4:50 if they ignore your d5 pawn and go Bh6, of course the light squared bishop is not on c4 so f1 is an available square for the king to go to, but then you just take the bishop with your pawn that has been hanging for several moves. and if they push the pawn and threathen your knight, simply take their bishop with your pawn, and after they take your knight its mate in 2 for you, Bb4+, wherever the king goes to you finish with Re1#. hope this helps

[@7000ant]

White should play 4. d3 0-0 5. be2 ... to guard the King and castling soon. Don't waste a Queen move.

[@shadyel-kashlan8897]

Good day igor, i want to thank you for this "effective" way to overcome the wayward queen "nightmare" since i have suffered a lot. Your way of explaining this line is faboulous & simple to learn. I promise you to study it very well in order to make an agressive, brutal & massive attacks. Have a pleasant day...

[@Frankthegb]

Can you type like a normal person

[@TheDa6781]

I'm stuck at 730. What's the best opening for black and white to learn ?

[@crimson8076]

for white at your level i would suggest the london system, its a very sound and robust opening suitable for beginners alternatively for more dynamic positions you can go for ruy lopez, and for black i first played the king's indian defense. hope that helps!

[@adityagrandhi5593]

lol this is called the kiddie countergambit

[@ted5567]

They play that constantly in chess univirse.

[@Rahu37]

this things rarely work for 1500+

[@Robil63]

I think you hold the record for amount of marbles you can have in your mouth and still talk - sort of.

[@marksanders7704]

"Hey mate that's what I call strategy!"

[@sebasstein7014]

They don`t need to move their queen to g3, they can simply play Nc3 or Bd2 and your great discovered check is useless, you wasted a pawn for nothing and gave the whole center to the opponent. Just play Nc6, defend the pawn, then push the queen back with Nf6, make the opponent waste moves with his queen and lead in development yourself. Playing in this video only works if the enemy is a complete noob and has no eye for a discovered check against his queen, if he does you are in a bad disadvantage. Defending the pawn and just doing normal development made me win every game against an enemy who tried to pull a wayward queen attack so far.
