[@stefanvb2008]

Nice trap, videos like this are cool

[@theonlywinner]

Very cool! Thanks for posting this one!

[@rudigerhorn8126]

Really cool and funny 😅 (and instructive as well)

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Thanks!

[@0sofio0]

thank you Igor! I've just played caro-kann for the 1st time in my life what seemed to totally confuse my higher-rated opponent making him lose on time... feeling for them I realised I have no idea what I'd to if I were them so here I am))

[@Paragonxy]

Thanks Igor, I just finished a game with black resigning after just 7 moves...The trap really work. Thanks for all you do 🙏 You have helped me improve my chess game. Please make a video on how to play sicillian against white with the black pieces 🙏

[@theinquisitor5518]

I've seen so many traps for white in the Caro Kahn but this is a new one

[@utubefreak7167]

Holy Moly just won a game like. I saw this video yesterday and oh my lord the opponent played exactly like this

[@leewhitford2959]

Another great video from Igor. He really explains the ideas very well which you can use in games. I would recommend his course '7 keys to victory' which has helped me to improve

[@chandrasekarannarayanaswamy]

very much excited

[@suyogbajracharya4186]

Nice

[@KOHTAOMURDERSDEATHISLAND]

Stunning! ✅

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Indeed!

[@godfire3132]

please make a video on the hippo.

[@xSpizon_]

make a video about the old benoni defense because sicilian players will love it Starts with: 1. d4, c5 Lines: 2. if exc5, nf6 3. Most players will play nf3, continue with e5 4.1 if e4, Bxc5 5. Bc4 and continue with a somewhat Rousseau gambit with f5, you win many tempos 4.2 if nc6, continue with Bxc5. You have control of the center, almost a lead in development, and some tempos. and the thing about this is that they can go for smith morra and any other normal openings that they usually would play, perfect for sicilian players.

[@user-rg6jo6km6g]

Hello Igor can you make a video to play against scotch gambit

[@brianbeattyphotography]

lol complete devastation is the best description. nice

[@rocknroller546]

Hey random question here. Is there still a trap white can play if black defends the bishop on F5 by the Knight on D4 by playing Pawn to E6 rather then moving the Bishop away? Or is it development as usual? Thanks love the videos

[@jeffersonparsons5519]

Looks like fun, but I recently started playing 1 b3, after watching your videos; and I am having too much fun and success to switch back to e4.😂

[@pispi198]

Same here 🤣🤣 I am struggling to switch to e4

[@wonderwind2716]

By the way, at the beginning of the video, it will be more precise to say "If you know both yourself and your opponent's plan, you can crash your opponent in 100 battles" according to Sunzi's original word.

[@RR-xb1nh]

Just an advice to Caro players keep the position closed as long as you can and also try to trade the light square bishop early that diagonal is very important in Caro kann defence

[@johnstevenson9956]

I tried this tonight but on the second move, my opponent, instead of playing D5, played E5, and I had this weirdly placed Knight on E2. It was a hard fought game but I finally went down like a rock in about 80 moves. Computer gave me 90% accuracy but it really hated that Knight move.

[@Zywl]

0:40 what do you recomend if black plays Knight to D7 instead?

[@front331]

Then white plays d4, 4..e6 leads to an advanced French kind of position but 4..g6 is a crazy line and better for black.

[@____Believer____]

What if my E6 pawn is taken? Than no trap is there without a check a to queen!!

[@bdpv02]

I always play Ng3 with the same idea of pawn e6 I didnt know Nd4 is also possible 😮

[@ivoyaglichev3851]

Nice trap. A simple way to refute it is to play 5...Qd6 and after 6. ef+ B:f7, you play Nd7 and 0-0-0.

[@menzimngadi6793]

Massive

[@user-ey4bk4yd5t]

After Qg4 what if black plays Qe5+ (threatening de knight and pawn)?

[@ahmadhusain3756]

OMG. What a trap

[@BobChess]

Rest in peaces to Gothamchess subs

[@prplt]

I play another trap against the caro (where knight goes to g5) but this one looks even better 😂

[@episode80]

Just hit over 1600 elo!😊 Thanks to Igor's legendary tips, especially the Rousseau gambit.👌

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Amazing! Keep it up

[@priyankbhatia496]

What if the pawn takes the bishop instead of the qween at 03:40 min. What will you do then? The knight move will be a blunder in that situation as the pawn can simply recapture and white will be down pieces and on a tough spot. I don't know if I'm correct, but I just want to know what you would do in that situation.

[@iankemp1131]

Nxb6 wins the Queen. Both in this line and the one shown, White has the Queen for 2 minor pieces, and his pieces are more active. So after axb6, Qf3 is really hard for Black to meet with the double threat of Qxa8 and Qc6. If Rc8, Qb7 with a new double threat of Qxc8 and Qd7. And if now Rd8, Qc6+! mates in 2. The e6 pawn is a huge thorn in Black's side.

[@priyankbhatia496]

Now that I analyse it again , its actually a very strong opening and a very strong line.

[@fireflynched]

Svar if knf6 is played?

[@Lukeicht19]

Why cant the pawn on c 6 who is forking both knight and bishop takes bishop in that way i guess its pretty manageablr for opponent

[@ohyeahohyeah1071]

Even before I try this, I know that most of my opponents will use their bishop to pin my knight to the queen instead😅 Just hoping that playing f3 doesn't create any problems in that case

[@iankemp1131]

I would imagine that they either play Bf5, when you continue as shown, or more likely Bh5, when you can continue with Nf4 followed by e6. Not quite as trappy as the game, but again awkward to meet.

[@timbrophy]

Royal/ Triple fork after only 12 moves! Opponent resigned! Can I share a Caro Khan game between 500s?

[@jriggan]

🍻

[@helenmayor7109]

I guess the pawn can take the bishop instead of the king.

[@EndHomunculus]

Day 1 of asking Igor to make a new, updated video on the Vienna opening

[@daveg-j1866]

Played this for the first time against 1800 player on lichess, they resigned after 8 moves 😂

[@starry7544]

White's position seems really weird out of the gate if black doesn't fall for all this...

[@astro6897]

Gonna destroy some Caro players

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Good luck!

[@ingogoldbeck2886]

Sorry, but who plays c4 to attack the knight??

[@peterbago4574]

1800-1900 players really like it. They think they actually have a good idea.

[@user-rz8lv7pl3x]

igor >> Gotham

[@guillaume6399]

I have a Friend his like 2100 on lichess im 650 😂 he Always does the karo i will try this 😅😂

[@amal.a.p897]

First

[@rdp317]

No one moves black pieces like that

[@andersjonsson8403]

Thanks a lot Igor! That was exactly what I was looking for! 😊👍♟

[@GMIgorSmirnov]

Great!
