outstanding video, your the best
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
I muted my youtube notifications because it was too noisy and distracting as there's always a lot of videos getting uploaded…. but it's only for your videos that i go through the notifications list to see if there is any new uploads from you.
@GMIgorSmirnov At 14:49, is there an overreaching general principle that makes Be4 a bad move? On the surface, it seems to conform to what you are saying, it advances the bishop into opponent's territory and puts pressure on the knight, but according to Stockfish, it's actually worse than the move that you made as a 1600 player (Bf8).
Over the last 2 years, I have been able to go from 600 to 800!!!
Thank you sir ❤
Thanks, Igor.
Can you do a video on how to play as black on your second move in the Englund gambit after white did not take the e.4 pawn
13:33 rd1xd5, black can't take the rook with the queen because because of be2 – c4
Is bC4 an option?
13:36 I'm 1000s. As white, I would like to play Rxd5, attacking the Queen, and discovery check idea.
This video was really helpful and interesting because it showed the difference in thought processes between a club player and a master. The club player is more inclined to be passive and defensive, whereas the master looks for opportunities to move forward and attack his opponent and put him under pressure.
For the puzzle Rxd5, threatening the Queen and a revealed check. If Qxd5: Bc4 pins and wins the Queen. If Be6: Rxd7, BxB3, Rxd8, Rxd8 and axb3, white is up a bishop and a pawn. If Qf7, Bc4, Be4, Rxd8, Bxc4, Rxf8+, Kxf8, Qxc4, white is up a Rook and a pawn.
Great stuff, thanks Igor!
I really need an Alekhine defense video from Igor
Thank you, Igor – you taught so much in a short time.
I saw a documentary about Viktor Korchnoi preparing for for a tournament by giving up smoking and drinking, and doing some exercise. He didn't win, so I'll never make that mistake 🙂
for the puzzle move is Rxd5 then Qxd5 then Bc4 pinning the queen to the king
I would take with the tower on d5. If the queen take, go on e4 or f3, bishop c4. If the queen go somewere else, discover check and still taking the queen with the rook and maybe even the rook if the queen go to c8
Can you make a video on all the Chess tactics and rules before 2000. I love your content.
