  2. I play this tehnic, but it work 1 or 3 time, then tbe oponents catch up the trick

  3. Without doubt Igor is the bomb of Chess tips & strategies man! 🥇👌👏

  4. Igor, thank you for this video. This is perfect timing. I have been thinking about playing nf6 on Black's 2nd move. After watching this video, I will definitely try it.
    As White playing against the Scandi, I have always been uncomfortable when Black plays nf6 on their 2nd move.

  5. What opening should I use when playing against low rated, like me, opponents, that use an engine to play lights out master chess?

  6. You are the best chess teacher on YouTube.

    Hopefully i gain enough ELO before you get popular and everyone knows my tricks 😂

  7. Almost every time my queen goes to d5 for a pawn capture (regardless of opening), opponents will play Pawn C4. How do I punish this?

  8. I saw Fischer play c4 as white but against e6 (or c6) he ignored it and played d4 and then after exd5 he ignored it again and played Nc3 for a nice setup as white like queen pawn games

  9. It seems this only works if they take the pawn gambit on move 1.

  10. The only issue with that Igor is could have developed the queen to a4 check to the king and take the Bishop!

  11. It's true that I can't draw my games to the openings you show 90%+ of the time. Let alone winning!

  12. Your scandinavian videos are my absolute favorite!!!

  13. Ah this is one of my favourite opening but I was relying on the pawn near the queen. This seems cool I'll definitely try it out!

  14. 8:04 what if my opponent plays pawn a3 forcing me to withdraw my bishop?

  15. What program do I need to view stockfish ratings for a move as you show us? Is it for paying customers of Lichess?

  16. My response to the Scandinavian is the Blackmar Diemer Gambit…. works against up to 2000Elo

  17. I like the way you explained same Mato jelic

  18. You keep leaving things out. We're C players here, you can't just say "and you win his Q" when it costs us R+B. The pawns are even and he has the bishop pair. Yes, we're ahead in development, but isn't that less important now that so much material is off? See your final little thing at 9:00. I would agree that Black is "probably" ahead but it's not automatic.

  19. What if they go pH3 to counter the bishop instead of bE2 in the beginning? (1:45)

  20. It is so useful informations! Scandinavian defense is super strong. I thought it is super bad.

  21. i am working on a secret gambit very similar too that and it would be fun if you can play it and discover some psychologic tricks in it.Say me if you are interrested

  22. I'm only like 1.200, and as White I play 3. Bb5+ because I watched your videos so I know these traps and I can avoid them by playing the different line.
    Most of time my opponents simply replied with 3… c6. And after 4. dxc6 I am a pawn up.
    I rarely face 3… Bd7 or 3… Nbd7.

  23. Hello any one can help me I suddenly lost my points from 2200 to 1500 on chess online application without losing I don't know why
