🔹 Most Common Chess Opening MISTAKE | Key Tactical Pattern –
♛ Find the variations shown in the video in this blog-post –
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you a tricky chess opening for Black against 1.e4. What’s interesting about this opening is that it is very solid even though it’s a lot trickier (since most of the tricky chess openings are unsound if your opponents play the right moves).
It is the Kholmov Gambit from the Damiano Variation of the Petrov’s Defense which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 Nxe4 4.Qe2 Qe7, where Black just copies/mimics White’s moves. However, it’s a lot trickier than one can imagine!
