Thanks! Ofcourse the first 5 games I played hoping to get this my opponents did completely different things, and by the time I actually got it in a game I had already forgotten half the theory from the video
white bishop in D3 and not the move of the pawn c2-c3. There is a protection of the pawn C2-c3 , the diagonal b1-H7 and of course the square C2. I think the black attack is stopped.
But what if white doesn't attack the knight with a pawn move but prevents check with the dark squared bishop or even nd2? (After be2 you can still pin the bishop so there is still the threat I guess) But what about those moves? I would have liked to see that in the video because I feel like those are pretty natural moves and they aren't losing, are they?
after Nb4 can white just play Bd3? i know it just trades the knight for a bishop but i think it prevents black from controlling those light squares around the king early in the game.
After the black knight gets the white rook with a fork, white will move his light square bishop from e2 to d3 to trap the black knight in the corner instead of moving the dark square bishop.
Yes, but what about with the movement Bd3 after taking by the black the rook on a1? /2:52/. That is the lost of quality, that is true, so the game probably is won by the black, but in the next moves the white takes the kniht on a1, and the game can be continued, that is true with the lost quality of the white.
you should say more which is the best move for the opponent so that we can learn even more! huge love to, i have watched so many videos by you and learned so much, i went from being 1000 elo to 1400 in just a week
@@GeneralBlorp I thought the same. I saw the right King move right away and I'm only 700. (maybe I played a variation of it already) I didn't become any better watching his videos so far. But they gave me some insights.
the natural move to me is bishop e2, not even sure why anyone would be moving queen side pawns in that position, wouldve seen how to handle the bishop line more than what was shown. But I am only 1700
Thanks for your feedback. Usually I show the most common moves as you'll face them way more often compared to the best response suggested by Stockfish.
Adamisko šach invented this, he’s a really cool TH-camr, if you like the modern scandi you guys should check him out, he calls this the, “Xena attack.”
Merçi Grand Maître pour ces strategy d'ouverture clairement expliqué!çe livre est-il édités en Français?avec vous je fait que progrèssé!merçi beaucoup. 🏆🎉
At 7:34 instead of castling, Rd8+ is better. The idea is that you want to play the move b5 after Kc3 instead of the rook sac. If you castle, then play b5 there is mate in 2 with Qa6+ Kb8 Qb7#. The move b5 takes advantage on the fact that the c4 pawn is pinned to the queen and the queen is stuck defending Qc2#
Isn't castling mate in 3 anyway? Or if the opponent blocks with the knight it should be mate in 4. Why do you want to go b5 in this position? Edit: see below
@@ExplosiveTN123 your reply might've been deleted. Anyway, you were right, white has Kc2 to survive a little bit and there is no mate. If Rd8 instead of O-O-O, there is M6.
Thanks for this trap! I'm learning how to use black pieces effectively and at the same time play aggressively (since that's my favorite opening when I'm white
Aren't you overlooking the line that after Nb4 white can play Bd3? That stops the queen check on e4. Black may get the advantage of trading knight for bishop but that is not quite the same disaster as outlined here
I'm glad somebody else noticed this, I was going to comment on it if no one else had. The line I'm looking at goes 7. Bd3, Bf5 8. o-o, Nxd3 9. cxd3, e6 White is definitely behind, with doubled pawns on the D file, and black has a better start on development, but it's a playable position, even if it's ugly. But please let me know if I missed something.
There's also a variation where black plays 7. ..., e6 to try to develop the dark square bishop, but in that line white actually comes out ahead. After: 7. Bd3, e6 8. o-o, Nxd3 9. Qxd3 Then 9. ..., Bd6 makes it +1.3 for white or 9. ..., Bb4 gives us +1.8 for white.
Don't get me wrong, though...I don't want to seem like I'm criticizing. Bd3 is a relatively hard move to find, and according to Lichess, only around 450 people have ever played it, out of more than two million games. So, yeah...this trap is definitely going to work way more often than not, and it's definitely worth knowing...I was just saying that it's not irrefutable. Still a great video, and I wasn't trying to imply otherwise. ✌️
I learn through muscle memory, but maybe only 1 out of 100 openings go this way. What is a good way to train these ideas new to me without loosing 99 games trying to get it right?
i reached the position after 6. Nf3 in 5 games out of total 833 online, so it really is a relatively common position for Modern Scandi players. Until now I played sth else in that position but I'll try to remember using this here from now on, looks very promising, thanks.
Hope this saves me in my first tournament tomorrow! I hope I crush a lot of beginners and intermediates with this. I'll recap what happened after the tournament
hes not here to help. hes just here to give "trash tricks" players hope and get views with such keywords and skewed win percentages in the video titles. here in reality, these "trash tricks" players have a short life span. but hell never tell them that.
That's a great video Igor, but you should give credit to Adamisko sach, the TH-cam channel from which you certainly found this cool trap called the "Xena Attack" 👍
After Knight to B4 my "natural" next move would be Bishop to E3 preventing any check from the Queen. After that move white can start to chase the Knight.
I don't think so that's right because your chat me your fork and also after long Castle the king is a big danger and by the way you are also vigna pawn
So I ran this trap and the opponent took a suspiciously long time to make a move (~2 minutes of the 5 minute timer) after I delivered the check with the Queen. Then they found Kb2. I suspect they ran it through Stockfish. I still won though.

Thanks! Ofcourse the first 5 games I played hoping to get this my opponents did completely different things, and by the time I actually got it in a game I had already forgotten half the theory from the video
LOL Me too. I was usually on my own by the third or fourth move, but after 6 or 8 wins, I'm determined to keep trying to master the Scandinavian.
Thank you for always covering all variations. Your videos are excellent.
2:49 what if after your knight grabs the rook, they play Bd3?
2:26 What if white play Be3 ?( bishop to e3 )
It’s the same thing
white bishop in D3 and not the move of the pawn c2-c3. There is a protection of the pawn C2-c3 , the diagonal b1-H7 and of course the square C2. I think the black attack is stopped.

I would have liked to see that in the video because I feel like those are pretty natural moves and they aren't losing, are they?
My 4th Scandinavian video from him,now I learnt both modern and normal variations and finally even traps . Gonna punish some 600
What is white plays Qe2?
What about 7. B-d3 ?
EXACTLY my thoughs!
Yup that's what i keep thinking as a 900 still haven't figured out why it's not good
Indeed GOOD to mention Stockfish options. The draw is nice and mating continuations a lot of fun threats.
0:49 when i was here my opponent played Qf3 I was like bruh
2:22 why are the options Nf5 or Bd3 aren't valid here for white?
1:22 white can bishop d3 best move
I was thinking the same thing the whole time, was waiting for him to address that
What is after 6) .... Nb4, 7)Bd3 protecting the pawn as well preventing the check ?
It was fun playing chess with you last night!
after Nb4 can white just play Bd3? i know it just trades the knight for a bishop but i think it prevents black from controlling those light squares around the king early in the game.
After 7.Bd3 play 7...Bf5! Black gets a comfortable edge. I recommend analysing the positions that follow.
I also agree with you quiet a bit
nice way to counter black's attack. thank you
After the black knight gets the white rook with a fork, white will move his light square bishop from e2 to d3 to trap the black knight in the corner instead of moving the dark square bishop.
and what if your opponent play bishop to D3 insted pawn to C3.
Exactly!
Yup...that's what happens every time
also my first thought
Yes, but what about with the movement Bd3 after taking by the black the rook on a1? /2:52/. That is the lost of quality, that is true, so the game probably is won by the black, but in the next moves the white takes the kniht on a1, and the game can be continued, that is true with the lost quality of the white.

Thx Master! Very good video!
Great lines Igor!
Nice video,i like chess igor smirnov
Thank you ❤️
doesnt white bishop to d3 counter the trap?
If your opponents knew the trap, they would play Bd3. But they don't. So they play more natural moves (c3, c4 or a3) and lose 😎
If white covers the queen check with Bc on e3 it's just a rook for a knight
But if they push pawn to attack the queen after taking knight?
What about if queen goes e2 sure you can take the rook but he takes your queen?
Great video
‘They have to do something about that, and continues to take the pawn, but how many players would do this? I wouldn’t.

What if they play Be3 instead of attacking the knight? That blocks the check before it even happens.

Yeah, And that's why I think it was a trash and waste of time.
