    In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares with you the most common chess opening mistakes or blunders in the Ruy Lopez which happens after the first moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. You will learn how to punish Black's mistakes in both the popular variations, 3...Nf6 which is the Berlin Defense, and 3...a6 which is the classical approach.
    You will learn some really cool traps in these variations that give a strong, checkmating attack for White against the Black's king. In fact, in one of the variations the most played moves by Black gives White a success rate of more than 74%, that's huge!

      Is it possible to make a complete course just on the Qe2 Ruy Lopez? I am looking at taking it seriously, so looking for courses on that, the two knights attack on the French at a level that would be respected, and the side lines, but those two are most important. I was also wondering if you can do individual positional concepts listed in your GM positional understanding course. It has a list of ideas for positional concepts, but there isn't any book or more importantly any video courses on them expanding on the individual subjects. Thanks for any answer.

    I appreciate your going over the main lines in Ruy Lopez, and in proving them with the computer's analysis. But, especially, the optimism! Makes chess fun even if I lose, in trying these cool new moves out.
    Don't worry about anyone commenting that these are not All Possible moves! How silly to expect that.

    Hello Igor. I'm a relative beginner, only been playing online for a year or so, and my rating has been between 950-1050 most of the time. I was just making it up as I go along, trying to learn from my mistakes, and watching what others did. I happened to watch a few of your videos over the weekend, and I watched your free masterclass last night, which I found to be interesting and easy to grasp the main concepts, so I do recommend that video to anyone. I played a few games after watching the video, and was much more attacking in my play, a bit more creative too, I could feel my thought process was different, that I had a strategy of sorts. So, I thank you for the free masterclass, and I am sure that my rating will edge upwards now, but more importantly, I will be enjoying the games more, because (as you say) attacking is always great fun. One other thing, down at this rating level, people don't play that many standard moves, and especially they appear to defend with pawns a lot, which can frustrate my efforts. Best wishes to you, and thanks again. (Oh, please check my own website, with some handy tips for the next decade....2malachi dot com, especially the proclamation).

    Not risking the defense of the King. As it will leave openings. There is a simple way to say it this way. There are times to be aggressive and a time for defensive actions that even goes into retreats as you cannot afford it or it will lead into a bad situation in which things are more exposed.

  • @uremomisepic
    @uremomisepic ปีที่แล้ว

    hey wouldn't it be better to play rook e7 @6:00 having checkmate threats but even with good play from your opponents you'll just hunt the king out into the open than fianchetto your bishop and develop the rook to e1 and you got a killer attack before black can do anything. example: after king g8 - rook e7 - rook f7 - rook f7 - king f7 - queen h7 - king e6 - knight f4 - king e6 - queen d3 -king e7. In this position the knight is hanging, the king is vulnerable giving you enough time to develop the bishop and rook to active squares en make another killer attack.
