Qxa2 how possible? After Rook a1 what is the play for black? (Time:11.14
Wouldn't it be better for black to fork the white queen and rook before capturing back the white bishop with his king?
You speak a lot. Please think about those who know a little about English.
15:45–15:55 "Rookie error" lolll
in the line where they take 3. dxc5 can you follow up with … Qa5+ and then when they defend the check take with 4. … Qxc5
or is that just exposing your queen early for no reason
This is interesting GM Smirnov- worth noting that the London player in this case, gets basically none of the standard setup. There is no hint of the majestic pawn triangle. They are forced to respond to Black's moves immediately and are quite disrupted. It's kind of a shame because I like the London and I play it's close relative: the Colle-Zuckertort.
I've been playing this against d4 for a little while and my opponents absolutely hate playing against it. I'm so happy that Igor made this video. This channel is so great
Top players are able to see 8-10 moves ahead and identify a solid sacrifice which will win them their game. Love your channel, keep up the good work!
15:45 "That would be a rook-e error"
