happy birthday🥳
Happy belated birthday!
Happy Belated Birthday! Thank you for being our chess teacher. I don't really know what to say but, keep going and happy birthday ;D
15:03 – Bxg7, Kxg7, Qe7+, Kf6, Qxd8 taking the free Rook because of a check, that's quite nice.
incase if black put rook on e8, white should put the rook on e1, next move, white bishop to c3, maintaining pressure on g7 while strengthening the e file, then white queen can go to either e7 adding pressure to g7, or e6 forking a king and a rook
9:14 If you check the statistics at Lichess database, you will see that taking on e5 is the correct move, but NOT THE ONLY correct move. Passive move c3 (and also sacrificing own pawn on d4) has the SAME statistic results – 54% wins and 43% loses. The most popular Bc4 is only slighly worse (53% : 44%), so it is also playable.
And you might ask "why would any reasonable person prefer passive c3?" The answer is – to transpose into Ponziani Opening. Transposition is a good tactic for those who are tired of memorizing too many openings and want to learn and play the ones that they are good at.
Great video but I’m a night owl – can you please use dark colors around your camera frame –
Happy birthday Igor!! We are the same age!! 😅
I suggest : Bc7 attacking the black Rook (d8) forcing to move and leaving the square e6 for the white queen
The best high level communicator of chess ideas.
Without the plan Nxa5, you'd think that Rb3 is the least active piece. So I think Fisher had this already planned all along
Bishop c7
happy birthday
Amazing teacher! Thanks!
Happy Birthday 🎉 GM Igor Smirnov!!!
Black could of just moved pawn up one space
Happy birthday
The best movB.g7 is
Happy Birthday!!!
B c 7 then only good move for black is Q D7 bishop can the take the other pawn.
Maybe Bxg7 with fork on either of the rocks depending on black king taking or not
Happy Birthday GM Igor Smirnov’s have Great Day
🎉
Example 3 on 10:40 is it not possible to play Ne6 and if the opponent plays something like
Rf7 white can play Qg5 checkmate
Hbd
In example-3 I would go knight-e6 attacking the rook because the only good responses are rook-f7 and bishop-b6. My response to both of these moves is queen-g5, eventually trading my knight for his rook.
Is there something wrong with this move that I haven’t seen?
belated happy birthday! my best wishes. thank you so much for the lessons.
Happy Birthday, Grandmaster Igor. Still look 26, just 10 years smarter! Thanks for all that you do!
I will do Bxg7 – the pawn is free: if Kxg7, Qe7+ is free rook.
happy birthday
Happy 36th 🎉
Quiz – bishop to c7
Happy birthday sir
KnH5 works petty well if you follow it up with a queen check and take the bishop back. Oh nevermind
Happy belated bday! Hope you had a wonderful 🎉 🎉🎉
Good teaching – very good teaching, indeed! 😊
Happy Birthday
– Look for effective attacking moves first (1:55)
– If no attacks are available, use the principle of the least active piece to improve your position (4:18)
– Apply these strategies consistently, regardless of the position on the board (8:01)
