    In this video, I play the black side of Italian Opening against lichess user chess_1865 (rated 1791). After my opponent commits to an early and slightly dubious Bg5, I decide to hold off on castling and launch a vicious kingside attack.

    Jan Gustafsson goes over similar types of lines in his excellent 1...e5 chessable course. He too advises going 5...d6 and 6...a6 in most lines and to delay castling to preserve the option of a kside attack if white goes wrong. I'm not sure if he goes over this specific line cause it is a little unusual for white to play Bg5 so early.

  • @ojaimark
    @ojaimark 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    In the late middle/early end game when the knight came to d4, there were a few moves where all the tension on the king side was essentially balanced and static, but there was a fork on the queen and the inactive rook with Nc2. Assuming I'm a beginner and not really able to find those 10 move winning lines that resulted in 4000 arrows being drawn on the board at one point, is it even worth it going for the fork to win a pawn and an otherwise inactive rook? Is it worth it to prevent any possibility of activating that rook, or is it better to keep the knight involved in the attack and just do your best to never lose tempo and not let the rook be activated that way?

  • @BubblesBub434
    @BubblesBub434 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Was pawn g4 a way out of it at the end there?
    At least black will end two pawns up in the rook ending so probably still winning, but I didnt see an immediate checkmate
