Igor may not be a super GM but he sure is one of the best chess teachers of our time. You probably can't be both one of the best players and one of the best teachers at the same time, I'm glad he chose the latter. Thank you for your high quality content, your videos always make my day!
@@GMIgorSmirnov You deserve all the praise Igor. Your work is much appreciated! While I've got your attention, would you be the right person to turn to if I'm looking for private online chess lessons? Not necessarily you personally (you probably either don't have time for that or I don't have the money to afford you) but someone you know. I'm currently ~1600 daily and ~1100 blitz (I'm apparently not thinking fast enough for blitz) and my goal is to be 2000 classical.
After e4 e5; Nf3, a lot of my opponents play d6 instead of Nc6 (I play Scotch almost always if opponent responds with e5). Some people say that Philidor defense isn't really good; are there any good ways to take advantage?
@JK-srsly Yes, you move the knight back, but not much is lost. You lose a tempo, but f6 is not ideal, it blocks the knight and opens an unwanted diagonal.
I was never able to land the first trap even though it's the first trap I ever learned. However, I decided to give it another shot earlier and I finally landed it
It's really good tactics for Blitz and bullet games. But neither one of this will work playing classical and rapid .nowdays Even 700 elo players are highly aware about this traps..if they got some time to think about next 2or 3 moves. Every time you will be failed with all 6 moves ideas. But it is good for 3 minute or 1 minute games. Because opponents overlook the possibilities of quick mates..to maintain the time advantage.
I didn't even believe that someone level of 1800 would really fall for the trap Until it happened in my recent game My rating is 1450 And. Opponent rating was 1600
9:17 why not Qween to f3? The knight can't go to f6 because of the pwan and we are threatening to checkmate in the next move! if black Qween comes to e7 then I can simply grab that knight!
Always when you present a Trick with white I watch and gob to chess, get 2 - 3 times black ; when you do black I get white. This is very consistent. But i figure this out. Thx Igor.
This is what the computer tries to do on chess on the macbook, every single time. I would call that cheating on the computers part, because playing the computer should be more like playing a low level human player, not like playing against a professional who knows how to win from any point.
I used to see these at like 900 rating a couple years ago. I haven't seen them in awhile and I'm 1300 now, but I can guarantee I would not fall for these... But mainly because I've fallen for them before lol
I'm about 1000 daily. I agree with you that the higher you go, you need to change your opening. I got to almost 1200 using the bishops opening or Italian but soon got dropped back down as they new how to play against the openings. Im not saying they don't or won't work but if you play the openings you need to study much deeper. I need to purchase one of his tutorials next time I get paid. I think it'll be a good investment :)
@@smilerjon3670 I've been thinking about buying some courses too. You can only figure out so much with just checking stockfish every game, and it's hard to remember specific lines when you don't know the idea behind it. My puzzle rating is 2100+, but my openings hold me back a lot. I just can't decide which opening I want to learn.
After your main line of 1. e4 e5; 2. Nf3 Nc6; 3. d4 ed; 4. Bc4 Nf6; 5. Ng5, 5...Ne5; 6. Bb3 d5 looks like a simpler way for black to defend, combining ideas from both variations. One possible variation is 7. ed Bb4+; 8. c3 dc; 9. bc Bd6 where black is solid enough and probably already for choice. In the final line given with 6...h6; 7. f4 hg; 8. fe Nxe4; 9. Qxd4, an interesting addition here is 9...d5. After 10. Bxd5, the tactical shot 10...Ng3 becomes possible, since Qf2 now leaves the bishop undefended; but possibly even better is 10...Bf5, exploiting the pin along the d file to create counterplay.
As a player who prefers to play black, I admit that I sometimes forget about these nasty traps. Thus I often use semi slav to particularly mitigate white's aggression and just trade pieces and pray I don't get mate in under 10 moves 😂😂😂
Hi Smirnov, just want to point out that the picture of 'Durgesh' that you've used in your video is actually not his but one of Durgesh's closest friends Sushrutha.

Qf2 for the puzzle, threating mate in 1 on f7, and also attacking knight on g3.
Nice!

Yes, he is amazing. One of the few genuinely great chess coach.
Thanks for the goid video content format. Works well for chess content.
❤
great as always Igor!😃
Thanks short and sweet
What's the best move for Black after Ng5?
9:37 Qf2 wins. Double attack on Qxg3 and Qxf7#
Good
Is there a way to show the scores as the game progresses?
I like video GM Igor Smirnov
🙏🏽
After e4 e5; Nf3, a lot of my opponents play d6 instead of Nc6 (I play Scotch almost always if opponent responds with e5).
Some people say that Philidor defense isn't really good; are there any good ways to take advantage?
Qf2
I forget every trap on board ..my body shakes and hand shivers 😂😂
😂
Queen to f2 forces Black to avoid immediate checkmate, so you capture the knight next move.
At 9:50, Qf2 wins the knight.
0:51 what if they play f6 in this position?
@JK-srsly Yes, you move the knight back, but not much is lost. You lose a tempo, but f6 is not ideal, it blocks the knight and opens an unwanted diagonal.
I was never able to land the first trap even though it's the first trap I ever learned. However, I decided to give it another shot earlier and I finally landed it

hello gm igor
At 1:27: Black can block the Queen by moving the pawn to g6. Than what?
You take that pawn with check as it would not be protected
Scotch Gambit trap works even with 2100+ Bullet players.
They don’t play e5 anymore 😢😢😢
The first gambit isn't possible. You don't attack the queen with that pawn instead we play pawn to g6
This tricks are for lazy players who fears to roam with queen.
I didn't even believe that someone level of 1800 would really fall for the trap
Until it happened in my recent game
My rating is 1450
And. Opponent rating was 1600
Is 1600 equivalent to 1800? Those 200 points places one at a different level. imo.
First comment should be pinned❤
Puzzle answer: Qf2 ( sacrifice the roook) attacking both Knight on g3 and threatening Mate on f7.
Qf2 for the puzzle right
I'd say right.
Yup
bishop takes, check, takes or takes, check, takes, takes and mate
9:17 why not Qween to f3? The knight can't go to f6 because of the pwan and we are threatening to checkmate in the next move! if black Qween comes to e7 then I can simply grab that knight!

first ayo i love your content i am journey to watch all your videos..
Yay!
Your killing me bro I learned Russo from you but you keep bringing it up and the Stafford is opening your hurting my elo 😂😂😂
is Qf2
Always when you present a Trick with white I watch and gob to chess, get 2 - 3 times black ; when you do black I get white. This is very consistent. But i figure this out. Thx Igor.

at 1:47 if they play knight e5 to block, there's no way to checkmate and it's a draw by repetition
Qd5+ Ke7 Qxe5# is checkmate, no?
@@BigDBrian yep, just today played another game, same moves but thought deeper and yes that's checkmate
NOOO... That first one is my moves...
after night to g5 if he didn't play h6 if he play F6 then what will I do
the winning move is Qf2
I just lost 3 games to these openings
I just tried this and got rekt
BxF7+ K:B. Qf2+ K.... Qxg3
I used to see these at like 900 rating a couple years ago. I haven't seen them in awhile and I'm 1300 now, but I can guarantee I would not fall for these... But mainly because I've fallen for them before lol

Bxf7+
very nice
Thank you... Wonderfull white attack... But, how can black avoid those traps?
After your main line of 1. e4 e5; 2. Nf3 Nc6; 3. d4 ed; 4. Bc4 Nf6; 5. Ng5, 5...Ne5; 6. Bb3 d5 looks like a simpler way for black to defend, combining ideas from both variations.

when the knight arrives on g3 we play bishop f7 followed by queen f2 and take the knight on the next move
I start the Scotch gambit 1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Nf3 Nc6.
My experience is it is more likely to be accepted this way.
Hi Smirnov, just want to point out that the picture of 'Durgesh' that you've used in your video is actually not his but one of Durgesh's closest friends Sushrutha.
9:50 Bxf7+, Kxf7, Qf2+, Ke8, and Qxg3(white wins a pawn after all the exchanges).
4:00 same is possible in the Evans Gambit except you having a pawn b2 and you're not castled
9:50 -> queen to f2
😮
Can u please make climb rating content using bishop opening with white or rousseau gambit with black?
Plsss..
It's an interesting suggestion! Maybe oneday
In the first position, I'd be a little worried about 5...d5. Do I have enough compensation for the knight after that move?
Probably not, but your opponent needs to play a lot of best moves to hold your attack. Bxd5 to start.
I just love E4 trickery😅
e4 is so tricky
You are easily the best chess teacher on YT, keep up the good work! :)
😃
You really always come up with a new way to win. I personally think that you’re the best chess teacher of all times
Great TRAP Igor, thanks a lot! 😊👍♟
Glad you like it!
