Good job keep going with this tempo
After watching your videos my elo has increased from 400 to 1300 . Thanks 👍.
Nope, Nxe5 is a bad move, because then opponent can go Qa5, check and take the knight on next turn
Black can delay by playing Be3. (First example).
lovely cat
Bishop's opening is my favorite, grew up playing it. Thanks for the insight GM
Trap 2-If oponent drap the pone D3 with quin than again bishop f2,king D1…Than more complicated position…I guess..
0:40 doesn't that allow the center fork trick? Wouldn't it make more sense to switch the move order to not allow that? eg. e3, Nc3 etc.?
Reminds me of the Lucchini Gambit but for white
4.30 LIKE better qh6 10.30 hector gambit 15.50 no dont take on e5 pawn backwards main reason to easy to take slow tempe down and also space time and force get messed. up o yea you forgot a nice move in bishop opening nd5!!!!!!!! its kinda like holloween gambit
press like first and then watch the video… guaranteed perfection from Igor as usual.
great real stuff for today reality !!!!!!!!!!
No! Black plays Qa5+ winning the Knight on e5.
what if black plays 4. BxN?
Outstanding. Thank you
Thank you sir, you have helped me alot imporove my game
I think after QE5 you can't save the knight. It is very tempting though. But whenever my king is exposed on diagonals or has backrank issues I always double check any move for an incoming queen check/fork.
I have always found your videos very helpful in my journey of chess. I have learned allot from your courses that I have purchased. The latest HOw to think like a grand master. Great.
GM Igor what if after white moves to QH5 abd Black replies Pawn G6 what is the white's best move
Are the examples from the lichess database?
Really enjoy your videos!
6:55 pxN pxB … is better result for white i think
I'm confused in the first bit why wouldn't you give check as black with the Bishop instead of the Knight moving out the way
Nxd5 is a bad move. Black can simply compensate with Qa5+ attacking the King and the undefended knight on d5.
igor you cat does not look impressed lol
How can a pinned piece still protect a piece if it can't move? I lost a game like that smh
Personal experience regarding traps is that most rarely work against other experienced players; simply play the person reactively.
i was watching the cat the whole time.
Great.
I'm almost playing this opening. I got 28 winning games in my 28 game. This is effective tactic. I love this opening.
Thanks for this.
Your analysis and videos will be the reason i shall finally be able to reach the ultimate goal in any chess career.
To defeat my own father 🤣
How do you get access to the lichess database that shows the % of moves played?
Well it doesn't always work
There's always a move that's different
I've been trying to figure out why I'm so attracted to Igor's videos….I think his voice is so clear and understandable, I mean he doesn't say any unnecessary things…kinda hard to explain but I just love to hear him talk.
>2 Bc4 really gets your opponent off his opening knowledge
Are you kidding me. Every sub 1000 plays the italian every game
This knight move immediately loses to Qa5+.
