Can you make a video on how to play the Sicilian defense
They did it first. It's karma. Right?
Thank you!
Hello Igor I was wondering is it better to look at your attacking moves first or your opponents threats. In a recent game of mine my opponent had three threats on his next move,two checks and a threat to my Queen. So I castled and he attacked my Queen,anyway I managed to move my Queen and a mate three. After with the help of Fritz I discovered I should have checked as I had a mate in two.In many of my games I discover if I'd played a little more active,in other words looked at my attacking moves first I would have turned draws and even loses into wins. In this video you talk about selfish thoughts my problem is I am only considering my opponents threats and not looking at my possibilities. Any replies would be helpful.
Hi Igor, could we get a video on the best beginners openings for black? Loved your ponziani videos, it's brought me a lot of wins! Don't really have any openings/ defences in my arsenal for when I'm black though, so would be nice to learn some good strats from you π
If I combine your lesson with lessons from other GM's will that make me a stronger player? For example:
Ben Finegold:
– Never play f3/f6
– Always play Bf8
– Always play Kb1
– Play c4 because it's explosive
– Knife to f5
Simon Williams:
– Always give Harry a push
Jesse Kraai:
– Pawns aren't people
– Check that miserable King
Did I miss anyone?
thankyou master π
My sister does 3 cheats!
The simple rule "To take is a mistake" that I learn from here really help my game a lot. At least I know when I should exchange pieces and when I shouldn't.
Again fantastic, thanks
Can u do a opening video on the chiodini gambit
Very instructive. I wish I could afford your coursesπ’
9:34 And then black tries to exchange Queens, right?!
In fact ,by definition an exchange must be initialised by each side at the same time and chess dont work like that.
You should work to make that word dissapear from chess learning
After an exchange , something else happend ..I call it the ( Residuum ) of the ( chop)
Can you do the pirc defense
At 6 minutes in: which video showing traps in the two knights game are you referring to? Thanks.
nobody will sacrifice his bishop like that
Very important for chess learning like this β€
In regard to the king, put that old bum to work. Make him earn his keep.
9:41 if queen takes the night then black queen takes white queen
Outstanding video, thank you again. My suggestion which I have given earlier too: Try making more videos on most unusual but successful openings for white and Black. You made one and it was really good too. Please make more of those. Thank you.
i dont play chess that often but i pick it up every few years..as i age i sort of want to get better so i watch a few videos ..do you have like a beginners strategy video to chess
While playing, I often say to myself "to take is a mistake". I think I got that from Igor.
I missed that Queen check & Bishop capture so I clearly need this video lol. Thanks π
