fun fact. Bobby Fischer crushed Spasky when he played this opening.
My coach really liked your videos, and so did I, I am a 1544 UFCF rated and do u think I can play this in 1500 to 1800 range?
1:17 Didn't you told in Bg5 pin video that, we should attack on b2 pawn, so after Bg5 there's c3 and then we will play Qb3 putting pressure on be b2 pawn, to win the Rook.
In case of queens gambit declined I´ve made good expierience by keeping blacks position locked with pawn c4 c5 and don´t offer a bishop trade. You don´t need to castle because the whole queen side becomes a huge castle by itself. If c5 is attacked by b5 b6 pawn b2 b4 is a strong reinforcement. And in the mean time you can rip off blacks queen side with queen, rook, bishop and knights through the open door b and a lines. Usually blacks queen side is so locked that the pieces can´t move at all. If you´re done with the queen side you give up on your pawn struture and it´s easy to switch to the king side very quick with two or three pieces.

Thanks Bro, love from India❣️
We always use this trick 😁
2. c4 YOU RESIGN NOW
You don't play against D4.
You get developed first and find ways to
equalize in the center later.

A la Carlsen, also known as the Anti-Carlsen Opening
Great video.
Thanks man🙂
Thanks a lot👍👍
Unbelievable
Igor Smirnov you are russian?
Kalau bahasa indonesia
Thank you for this video
Thank you so much
There are a lot of information regarding chess on YouTube in terms of strategies, principles, openings. As a beginner in Chess where would be the best way to start the learning curve and how to take my gameplay to the new level the right way. I started a YouTube Chess project and i would like some quality perspective of people who has the knowledge to point me in the right direction. I would appreciate that a lot.
A very big thanks to you.Honestly,you are a very good teacher.Meanwhile,I have used your underrated video opening and your czech defence.It isvery solid and you can easily win.
Boring, explains impossible moves that even a beginner wouldn't make.
what application is good for screen recording?..when we make a video and will upload it to yt?
GM SMIRNOV- I am so curious where did you learn to speak English so well. You dont really have an accent its very internwtional in its sound. Makes me think maybe you had an English speaking parent/s or spoke English often at home or socially. Maybe you were born in an English speaking country. You speak so well i assume there is no way you learnt as an adult then mastered it. However if you did its unbelievable because the ease and level at which you speak tells me you probably learnt as a kid naturallyone of your first languages
Please tell me i am really curious.
It's NOT a Queen's Gambit until 2.c4…
Can you make a video about bongcloud opening? Ive been searching all over yt but got only little bit reference. Thx in advance
I've just found your channel, and this is my second video of yours. I've played d4 for 25 years. After the first video I watched I have high expectations. I'll leave a follow up comment after I've watched this video.
Mate that opening is brutal
Great video and channel. Do you plan on making another video for black when white goes for the Carslbad?
the best YouTuber ❤️🔥
What are your main openings as white & black? your favourite against e4? Many thanks 🙂
This video is nice, maybe not the best against d4 but quite good! Thanks
Thank you so much GM IGOR. I learned a lot and improve my technical knowledge of your video.
No, Fischer never played 1. P-Q4
After the king's Knight has been exchanged, white often gets the Queen behind the bishop to give check. It looks tactically pointless (wrong, even), but I find it really annoying when they do it. What should you do in this situation?
I play the slav as black. I thought everyone might be thrilled to know that!!
Hello, Igor! What if white undermine black's pawns with e4, not b3 ?
Perfect! Thank you Master.
Your videos are very helpful. Because of you, I believe my chess game is improving. I watch your video, I take notes, and I practice your tactics. Thank you.
