♛ Find the Fischer’s games shown in the video in this blog-post –
Perhaps in every other game that you play, your opponents might try to pin your knight with their bishop by playing Bg4 or Bg5, which is their attempt to start an attack against you. And most players defend passively by placing their bishop behind their knight (Be2 or Be7) in order to unpin it. However, there are better ways to deal with such pins on your knights.
In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov teaches you how to deal with pins on your knights aggressively. You will learn to brutally punish this pin by looking at the games of Bobby Fischer, one of the most brutal and aggressive chess players. In fact, very seldom did Fischer defend passively with moves like Be2 or Be7.
So, how to punish your opponents for pinning your knight? What are the aggressive ways to counterattack your opponent? Watch this video lesson and learn!

Hi Igor, could you make more content about endgames and middle game tactics/principles?
Thank you for your educative content btw! 🙂
in the puzzle Nxe5 leads to legal's mate if they capture queen. If they take the knight instead you get the bishop and are still up a pawn.
8:36 don't you lose the pawn if black takes knight and you recapture with queen? is there some trick afterwards?
Hello sir how can I contact you for business enquires? Would be great if you mention your email or Twitter handle in the description
Nice video but man your voice is cracking so bad it's annoying af never watching another smirnov video
Isnt bg4 in exchange ruy lopez theory? Blacks mistake was not taking on f3 not playing bg4.
Knxe5, knxb3, qxh5, g6…can't see anything after that
Edit: I need my computer haha!
It looks like you can sacrifice your queen for fork on their queen and bishop. g5-bxd1, bxf7- king to d7 because knight to d5 is check, so you go knight to e6 for the fork and if they move king to e7 you check mate them and if they don't it looks like you can keep the king in limbo with checks until you remove the rook. I think you get rook queen bishop for a queen. And then push pawns until you can figure that out. It was hard enough trying to keep track of the knight locations and where the king can go. King looks like it's forced into the middle of board.
Listen here, Bobby Fischer. I might have to watch a video on flushing the transmission but I can certainly change the oil. And I'm considering going with waterless coolant when I flush the cooling system. Waterless coolant is a thing. Google it…
Bishop to E2 is not that passive. It can be played just fine.
This is helpful. Thanks for sharing!
Nxe5 Bxd8 Bxf7 Ke7 Nd5 mate (De Lègal tactical motif!)
2:00 Pawn h5
i got distructed with your high pitch voice 😅😅😅
Wow, I had the exact same position this evening. I handled it a little differently but it all worked out.
Nxe5 Bxd1 Bxf7+ Ke73 Nd5#
Just to point out that Parma had the position after 12…f5 in the Poisoned Pawn variation twice against Fischer, once in 1965, drawing, and then again in 1970, which is the game he lost. He also had the exact same position against Buljovic in 1965 and against Barczay in 1969, winning both of those games. In all four games he played 13. Rfd1, so it seems somewhat disingenuous to describe this as the winning plan here. Rather one should simply admire the endgame technique of Fischer in managing to convert the 1970 game, although given the +210 rating point difference, perhaps one should also admire Parma for managing to make it so difficult.
Igor Smirnoff is the cousin of Ivan Popov.

7:24 why can't black pawn move h2+
Thanks. I learned a lot.
very informative
thx a lot dude
Thank you for this fascinating video.
Your videos are so so instructive and enjoyable. I played really good chess in high school and made it to the big league competitions because of your videos a few years ago. Glad to see you are still in love with the game and continuing to grow.
N e5 führt zum Seekadetten Matt
NxF5, if BXQ, then BxF7+, KE7, then ND5++, NxF5, if NxB3, then QxB, and if G6, then QF3, threatening mate, so PxN and PxN by white
On the vid banner, should the g1 be white?
Thanks for that. Fischer is the GOAT in my opinion. He destroyed all his fellow GM's and the Russian chess machine single handed. And without the help of computer chess engines which is what all pro chess players use the last 15 years.
He also taught himself Russian and Spanish so he could follow all of their chess games
as well.
Nxe5 leads to mate if the white square bishop takes white's queen. Otherwise white goes a pawn up and an attack if black plays pxe5 due to Qxh5.
N::e5wins
Puzzle looks like a Legal's Mate, with Nxe5, Bxd1, Bxf7+, Ke7, Nd5#
Anyone can smell N*e5 from a mile away 🔥💯But what really is different from GM’s and the way we think is when we are attacked we think how to defend , GM’s are always looking for counters 💯…..The course How to beat titled players changes this ❤️❤️🔥
A bit confused.
8:50 isn't h3 a mistake as if Bxf3 and Qxf3 then Qxd4 and blacks win a pawn
Alternatively gxf3 is playable but white king becomes exposed
Just amazing how Fischer dismantled a player of Geller's caliber.
1. Nxe5 (puzzle)
For the puzzle, the winning move is Nxe5. If the opponent takes your queen, its checkmate after Bxf7+, Ke7, Nd5#. If the opponent takes the knight on e5, then you just take the Bishop on h5 and you won a pawn
1.Bxf7 Kxf7 2.Ng5+ and discovered attack on bishop
I'm thinking of Nxe5, not sure about the name, but I know it's a famous mate.
Igor your my best
He punished Bg4, but I'm punished by Bg4
Great videos for chess!!

7:21 why didnt black just push and make a queen
Don’t pay for YouTube premium. It’s a scam
It feels good, as a 1050 idiot player, to come up with similar moves to what Bobby did so many years ago.
I am learning the London and how, after our Bishop moves to inside the pyramid, black likes to try that pin and we don't care. We often are often moving our Queen for development anyway and we don't mid if they want to trade their bishop for our knight, as we ave moved our other bishop to d2 to replace it and continue our attack on e5.
Other times, against fellow potatoes like myself, I like my chances with both sides queen-less, and it works out for me far more often than it doesn't so far.
Puzzel:
1. g4 Bg6, 2 Nh4 (Bishop is trapped and will be taken) Nxb3, 3. axb3
or
1. g4 Nxf3+, 2 Qxf3, bg6, 3. Bd4 (White occupies the centre and threatens a rook)
Black has threats neutralised. White has more active pieces.
Great content, Igor! Once again great insights…
