In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you an interesting chess opening, the Bishop’s Opening, which happens after the following moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4. It is not a very popular opening line (compared to 2.Nf3 or 2.Nc3), nevertheless, it’s perfectly sound as you’re developing a piece and taking aim at the Black’s f7-pawn.
Additionally, by playing the Bishop’s Opening, you are dragging your opponent out of his/her opening preparation. Therefore, you can use this opening weapon to surprise your opponents. Most importantly, there are a lot of interesting aggressive and attacking lines that you can follow up with!

Not sure
i try it i got crashed in a very easy mode comPuter
What about when Black plays pawn to B5 to attack Bishop? That's always what computer does when I play. against.
No 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
1:05 - First variation (black bishop mirrors)
8:45 - Second variation (Queen's Knight)
13:55 - Third variation (King's Knight - most common response)
Thank you
I don't understand how there's only 3? I'm at minute 7.36 and I feel like I saw 3 different variations already bc he cleared the board 3 times. Or was that all still considered 1 variation. Also also is a variation also called a "line"
@@jlstudiopro2974 From what I understand, a variation is characterized by the opponent's first responding move after your opening. In this case, white's 1.e4 and 3.Bc5 characterizes the Bishop's Opening. So black's second move is what will define which variation is being played.
And for every move you make there will always be some corresponding sequences of moves that would be considered the "best" or more common replies/continuations. These sequences/continuations are called lines.
So you could say that there are many possible lines for each variation.
I hope I'm not saying bs here. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.
theres just so many ways to deal with different things which makes me forget everything i try to learn haha
Problem is you need to practice to memorise, but to practice you rely on your opponent making the right moves you want to practice for, and if they don't you play a whole game before you get another shot at it
You’ve described how I feel exactly
I hear you brother.
Yaaaaa me to
Great #sbchesz
I reached 1300 only by knowing the first 3 moves of this opening, and now I will master it completely with your help 😊
I’ve been running this opening for decades and have now picked up a few more tricks. Thank you!
I might give this bishop opening a serious try!
whats ur elo

Adding some tricks to the tool bag
Notice that in one variation Qxd4 is wrong as black wins a tempo, but later this tempo isn't anything to worry about. It's wonderful that the rules-of-thumb change depending on what gives you the advantage.
Thank you! You are a great teacher, I have developed my understanding of chess from your videos, and thanks to you I´m not stuck anymore and chess is fun again :) May God be with you and your fellow countrymen in Ukraine, and may God bless you and bestowe peace upon you. Our hearts are crying
Awesome, I have learn so much from your videos. You are the only one I care to follow bc of how you explain easy and in a calm manner. Kudos.
🙏
This is the most important video to watch. And probably the best I have watched online. Hats off. After all he is GM
Simply a lovely chess opening Sir Igor! Thank you so much for sharing! 😊✌️
Hello GM Igor Smirnov - Thank you for the videos. Your teaching style is at the right pace and rhythm .Thanks for slowing down for others.
Glad you like them!
Another thing with the bishop's opening, you can transpose to a reversed Petrov, therefore play also a reversed stafford gambit if you are familiar with Eric Rosen
That's one of the good ideas indeed!
Awesome tutorial, thank you for the moves 👍👍👍
I've watched this video about ten times and just won my first game with this system in 22 moves. I really like it. Thank you very much.
M mm by
Lmao gg
Thank you. This was an incredible lesson. Please create more videos like this explaining other openings in the same way.
Hello GM Igor Smirnov. Recently found your channel and I’m really enjoying all content, thanks sir for your enlightenment! Could you please share link to your other video referenced here, the one about how for white (or black) to properly defend against the bishop pins in general (or on his black g5 knight as in this review)? Thanks in advance as I just couldn’t locate after quick search, you have sooo many videos felt like finding “needle in the haystack” lol. Cheers!
Thank you! Loved this!!
I like your idea brother...i use that Bishop opening all the time but now i see the idea
Good luck implementing these ideas! :)
congrats in a good if not great video..once again very well explained...thank you very much so much....
Thanks for all of your chess-lessons. With your help I managed to improve my Lichess-rating up to 2000. Sincerely GdN
Thank you Igor. I used to play a lot just over 20 years ago. But life got in the way. I want to get back into the game. Funny how I used to know these lines and how I have forgotten them. Thank you for the refresher 😎👍
Welcome back!
Thank you very much for an excellent explanation of the traps in the Bishop's opening
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing these marvelous ideas in Chess to gain advantages and ultimately win games. I LIKE THEM!!!
I am a recreational chess player and a beginner, I mostly play to spend time with friends in a tough competition who will pay for a beer (several of them) when we play together in a local "war". 2 months ago I started playing on the internet and using these tips I got a few games from opponents who are rated much higher than me, and with stronger players I bothered them a lot in the opening..I remember it was said that Capablanca intentionally lost from fishermen and used such a trap in the attack on the title. It's good that we have You tube we don't have to go fishing

Thanks for sharing the story!
Thank you so much!!! I love this!!!
What are the best ideas after the most popular reply 1 e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nc6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 d3 Na5?
I like the way you teach us how to play chess. Very simple and easy to understand... Thanks brother
I normally bring out my bishop like this although I recognize that the bishop is more useful to me near the end game since they are fewer pieces on the board. I like having my bishops available for long diagonals rather than relying on my knights short hopping coverage of the board. It’s a compromise for me based on my opponent’s response . Interesting analysis. Thanks
Yeah, snipers are good for quick tactics but they're killer in an endgame. Especially if you have the pair 👍
I'm glad that you've found it helpful!
You are an excellent player and teacher, thank you, Igor!
Thank you very much, I love this Opening/ your suggestion so much.
I'm glad you like it
It's a really powerful opening indeed !
I tried it recently in a couple of rapid games for the first time and it worked.
I won both of them, even if I had to sacrifice some pieces.
Very interesting and helpful !
Thank you, Igor for this Video chess class !
Well done! Keep it up!
Just a wonderful, fresh new idea in the ancient game of chess! Thank you so much Mr. Smirnov!

Watching ir for the third time in a matter pf teo weeks. I must say, it’s pretty substantial and worth it. Great job Smyslov
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excelentt! Thank you so much! Instructional!
For sure best chess chanel of all time he shows most of the best moves and tries to show all the moves that could happen even though he doesn't do all of them it's fine because he tries his best great job man I love your vids!! (Even though I'm new lol)
Fantastic analyses! Thanks! 😀👍♟
You are a brilliant teacher Sir.
Thank you so much for these video.. i'm on my 2nd week of learning chess and i can see there are improvement because sometimes i won the game..
Thanks really tricky and helpful thanks for the video again
Nice,been using this opening for a while now,this will help thanks
I did try this Bishops- opening with a friend of mine. He started to play the sicilian defence after my e2-e4 anyway i won. Heres the coordinates: 1. e4 c5 2. Bc4 e6 3. Nf3 Nc6 4. O-O a6 5. d4 cxd4 6. Nxd4 Nxd4 7. Qxd4 b5 8.
Bd3 Bb7 9. Nd2 Qb8 10. Nf3 Qd6 11. Qe3 Qc5 12. Qf4 f5 13. Be3 Qd6 14. exf5 Nf6
15. fxe6 Qxf4 16. exd7+ Kd8 17. Bxf4 Bxf3 18. gxf3 Bc5 19. Rad1 Bd4 20. c3 Bxc3
21. bxc3 h5 22. Rfe1 b4 23. cxb4 a5 24. Bb5 axb4 25. Re8+ Nxe8 26. dxe8=Q# 1-0
That’s the Bowdler Attack, and it’s pretty bad for White. He must have blundered at some point. I too lost to the Bowdler Attack most recently, so it must be a very sharp, though dubious opening for white.
Great job, as always.
A lot of interesting points I guess it took you awhile to learn all these helpful pointers it’s definitely an advantage to have this kind of knowledge than try to rely on own instincts Thanks
Fantastic explanation. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, these tactics work so well and are easy to learn.
This looks interesting. I will try this. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks
Awesome video, just like all of them - my biggest problem is to remember everything 😂
What if they respond to the bishop opening with pawn to A6 with the intention of bringing the neighboring pawn to B5?
Wow; I know I wouldn't last long against you Grandmaster! Thank you for posting.
I have followed other instructors but I find yours the best. Thank you.
Great to hear!
Thank you for sharing great opening moves
Thank you for making this video and teaching the bishops opening my opponents were all shocked seeing my moves and started thinking in the first two moves
Edit- Won against many high rated opponents using the bishops opening
Wauw, this is all so logica but I would Nederland think of all that. Truly amazingly explainded
Thanks so much. It's really interesting and fun at the same time. I learned a lot, I have replayed this video so many times hahaha
God bless. I'm Subscriber and fan from the Philippines.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool. I learned chess from an app called Dr wolf. Gave me a little knowledge to basey game play around. Developing my bishop before knights is a common tactic I use.
I also figured my choices throw people off from the queens gambit or.kings gambit most people open with. I develop a triangle that locks a bishop as a defender but frees the other up along with the queen. A quick castle ....... if it doesn't seem dangerous and I'm fully developed and ready to start making.intelligent piece trades , taking outposts, "after I built my bishop a safe home base" then I use knights to confuse the opponent and catch them off guard. If I can get a rook , rook ,queen open file it's usually gme ending.. still learning. Only started playing.the day before christmas
I have also been challenging myself by purposely falling behind and playing catch up against online opponents. I sat a goal. Checkmate using rook king, or other things. Today was Rook practice
I see this opening in every game and I learned how to counter it kinda well. Just castle queen side and push knight to pins and I’ve been winning lots of games that way. Btw I’m 1500 elo so pretty intermediate level
how long did you take to reach 1500 from ground up? like 6 months, 1 year, 2 years? Thanks for your reply..
@@humungous09 8 months for me to reach 1600
Love your content! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
I'm watching and practicing everything in this video until I master all varioations shown here, amazing.
Keep it up
Great video! Just subscribed, I applied this opening, and earned me some wins :)
Lovely analysis i enjoyed
This my favorite move, Now I understand even further how it works this is very helpfull
That Last variation is venomous...Can't wish that on my worst enemy
I get charged up after watching these videos and loose miserably while playing 🤣🤣
Lol
No way you can loose in chess. You can lose, however.
@@antoniomontana5778 wow best move
Me tpo 😂
😂😂😂
Hey thanks I play really well I stopped playing this years ago because I wanted to learn other opens this reminded me of the true power of the c4 bishop
You are an INCREDIBLE teacher! Thank you for wonderful lessons!
Thank you! 😃
Great guides, thanks for that :) Not only this but all I have watched so far.
Sometimes I do not understand why complicate things. For example at 15:22 you suggest sacrificing the bishop on f7, followed by Qd5, but why don't white just play immediately Qd5 or even Qf3. I can't see how black can save the knight and we do not need to sacrifice the bishop.
Excellent video, thanks
Thanks really enjoyed the video powerful move
just great! Thank you!
Thank you Igor! I have been trying out this opening and I am gettingn great results! :)
Great to hear!
1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.d3 It seems to me that Na5 getting the 2 bishops gives black an easy game. What do you recommend against this "spoiler" line?
Hi Igor, at 6:36 mark, you should also consider black moving the b pawn to attack white bishop
I was thinking the exact same thing. Did you find anything?
Wonderful video! Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am so grateful for your style of teaching the best slow and very indepth
Happy to hear that!
great job, have ordered many tapes from your company. Well done.
Thank you very much!
@@GMIgorSmirnov what would you do if knight moves to C5 after taking the pawn?
Thanks for tutorial chess. Great moves i got it here
Guess it'll be very usefull for me, I realized that I play a lot this opening, hope my game improve with those advices.
Hi this is great, thanks! How would you deal with 1 e4 e5 2 Bc4 Nc6 3 Nc3 Nf6 4 d3 Bc5 5 f4 d6 6 Nf3 exf4 7 Bxf4 0-0? At first I thought 8 Qd2 but 8 ... Be6 seems to equalise easily. New subscriber, thanks!
Hello, thanks for the video. For some reason, I can't see link for pgn file below video.
Thank you Mr. Smirnov.
This is good to know. Thank you
Great information!
Nice to see someone who actualy knows what is he talking about
every time I watch this, I learn. What a wonderful gift. Thank you
Thank you for this lesson. I really appreciate your teaching style!
Excellent content. Thanks for sharing 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mirror pawn takes 1:20 Mirror Bishop takes 2:58 Kight defends 8:45 knight defends black bishop attacks 11:20 knight attacks 14:10
Indeed a very interesting opening the bishopsopening. At 15:43 after dxe5 what if black plays Nc5? You mentioned that there are no real good squars for the Night. What is the right way to play here? Does any one know?
Best Chesschanel ever. Thx.
Igor, Your free lectures are unbeatable! You are more articulate than the best English speakers in chess. I will vote for you for president.
Brotter, I am weak, but jnow I am strong!! I feel glory in soul... and bones!!!
4:41 black could play d5, a discoved attack on the queen, winning the bishop
Great video! One question… At 16:50, after white plays Qxd4, what if black plays Qe7? The only lines mentioned are the black knight retreating. Seems best for white to castle by then if black brings out the other knight, the white queen must retreat and black gains tempo.
I'm 1100 and for the first time I've beaten a 1200 player thankfully to this video. I really appreciate!
I'm a 900ish player who regularly beats 1200's. I don't care if I win, just exercising my mind. I've been using the Bishops Opening for years, when allowed. The only response to e4 that blocks this opening is d5. It gives black the lead immediately. White will start opening with d4 instead of e4 after a few setbacks from the same player.
@@edwardmoczydlowski3666 d5 doesnt give black the lead at all
at 1100 you just need to know how to move the pieces, this video wont help you beat anyone who isn't a beginner as the strategies for black are terrible.
@@nashoo2968 I hope you're joking. I taught for 2 years. My students would have destroyed this guys
@@jacobmcdorman5552 they're 1200s,it doesn't mean their position is better
Wonderful video Igor! In the line 1. e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nc6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. d3. How will you handle 4....Na5 hitting the c4 B?
Thanks.
I love your videos but i am increasingly disappointed that not once has someone I played, played into one of the traps. Usually by move 4, they do something that makes continuing the trap impossible. :(
Very nicely done! I wish I could like this video twice.
Glad you enjoyed it!
18:40 nope. Black plays q to e7. ? Like I said earlier, none of this is effective against Fritz in beginner mode, the supposedly easiest mode but obviously it's using a huge database of opening lines from GMs in beginner mode because it's playing the hardest lines that you didn't cover.
