I'm in the rating where no one plays G5 lol
1.Rf8 Rxf8 2.Nxc7#
1.Nc7 then 2.Rc6 is a checkmate
wow
i dont like how this video assumes my opponent is magnus carlsen or something
Hi Igor, what is the follow-up with trap 5 if Black King doesnt take the bishop but moves to f8. Black is already a knight more so what will play White than?
If the black direct come for giving check without taking the pawn what will happen
White
1.Rf8
2.Nc7
I have an i dea to how to counter that move
Fact: none ever plays bon G5 to protect the bon bruh….. i have never played against someone who did it
Oh my
Useless trap
If the queen go for direct check white no way to live
Love this video. Is that your cat in the back?
Ndatenda waita basa
1.Rf8; R f8;2, Nc7 mate
Good tank you
after Queen takes e4 then white will play Knight takes c7 check then King d8 Rook f8 King takes c7 Queen to c5 check King b8 and Queen takes c8 is a Brilliant Checkmate.
Great! Very instructive, thanks for the work!
Dear sir, all techniques are good, when the opponent is not strong. We shall be thankful if you kindly share the tough technique and moves of the chess to defend strong opponent.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Queen h5 check – black King d8 – Rook f8 check – black Rook takes Rook & Rook takes black Rook check – black Queen e8 and mate with Rook or Queen !
If after Queen h5 check – black Queen interposes, it even a quicker mate after Rook takes black Queen & pawn takes Rook – Queen takes black Rook checkmate!
White – Knight C7 check!
Black – King D8
White – C6 check mate !
How do you beat pawn d6 at 3:04?
D5-C7
Is the checkmate
Nxc7 check, if Ke7 then Rf7 Check Mate. If Kd8 then Rf8, Rxf9, Rxf8 if Qe8 Rxe8 check protected by the Knight, Kxc7, Qc5 check king forced to b8, Qd6 checkmate if they choose not to block with the queen before taking the knight everything still goes exactly the same. there is probably a quicker checkmate, but this is the one i found.
Are you serious? Nc3? white has just gained a big tempo so he just keeps developing
What if they just don't pawn g5? I've been trying this in my games and they just ignore the pawn and they get a free pawn that I can't really punish them form.
6:17 help what to do if he captures i dont get it
Trap-2: If black had played d5 on move 6, the position would have had a value of -2.37 (depth: 27)
Its a beautiful mate Rf8+ Rxf8 then Kxc7++. The Knight wins it for white
Earlier I was too scared to fwd F7 pawn but learnt King's Gambit watching this video
These r amazing
I tried opening up for my bishop but pawn d6 crushed me as that knight was wiped off
What if black doesn't care about pawn and make very unpredictable move
I think 1. Nxc7+ Kd8 2. Rc6++ is more spectacular
Good job great tips very knowledgeable
I watch alot of your videos and whenever I play the computer to try out you attack the computer does a move in the beginning that you don't cover, time and again. I am almost thru watching your videos because of it lol. In this example after the queen exchange and the white Queen moves to H5 Black moved NH6. And you did not cover this move so the video isn't really helpful for me.
this is good. but the matter is every time i start like this .. Opponent comes with random shit move
How to proceed if the queen gives early check? The 2nd move from the black.
Such a smart guy.
too scary for me
Checkmate in 2 moves right? Sorry I'm a newbie but I think you will go check with rook then knight check capturing the pawn in front of the bishop XD
3:06 actually Nh6 is the best move followed by d6 so both Knights will be lost and there is no more checkmate. although White is winning
to avoid this trap, black must trade queens at the early stage.
The best way to get a checkmate for the last one is Qh5, if black decides to move his king to d8 then you can move the rook to f8 and he is forced to trade rooks and then he has no choice but to block the rook with thier queen and you can take the queen with your queen and that is checkmate. If black decides to block the queen's check by moving the queen to g6 then you can take with your rook and if he takes your rook then you can take his h8 rook and that is checkmate. If he tries to do any other moves i have found checkmates for those too, but there is too much possible moves for me to disclose in on comment
White knight to C7, Black King to D8, White Castle to E6 is checkmate
Qg7 move forces checkmate in couple of moves. There is no stopping of that.
Rf8 rxf8 nxc7#
Kc7chq
Rf8 double chq byR&Q
Qc5
Qd6chqmate
Trap 4 @ 9:17
Great stuff as always GM Smirnov!
