This is why I like Bishop opening
In the 1st example – black can play pawn to d6 and make space for king escape, so no check-mate.
You've done a fantastic job with this video. 👏
Wow! I am a bishop openerer and now I get a late Christmaspacel! Thanks a lot Igor! 😊👍🎅
To fast
And when black does the Sicilian defense followed by d6??!
awesome
Igor, I like the pace of your commentary. Some chess commentators go too fast making it hard to follow them.
Nice video
"hey all…"
Hearing Igor's excellent, mildly accented colloquial English really brightens my day.
12 mn 05 s : Fe6 au lieu de Fg4. Les Blancs ne gagnent pas.
Im testing this openning with 1100 bot and got a 100% ACCURACY game. lol. it's nothing to win a game vs bot, but 100% accurcy is a 1st, thats fun.
1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3. d4 exd4 4. Nf3 Nxe4 5. Qxd4 Qe7 6. O-O c6 7. Re1 d5 8. Nc3 dxc4 9. Nxe4 Bf5 10. Nd6+ Kd8 11. Rxe7 Bxe7 12. Nxf5+ Kc7 (12… Kc8 13. Nxe7+ Kc7 14. Bf4#)
You make this opening seem simple, yet artistic. I love this opening and I aim to memorize all of it 👏 👏 👏
1 VARIATION: PAWN D6 FOR KING ESCAPE?
Thank you so much for your wonderful videos. My chess game was stuck because I wasn’t learning and because of you and your videos I find myself learning and improving. You are an excellent teacher and I wish you all the success.
Can anybody point to me the video in which he explains the middle fork trick with the pawn? I saw it once and have been playing it but forgot the lines. Just need to watch it again, thanks
