    💡 5 Best Chess Opening Traps for BLITZ and BULLET | Part-2 - • 5 Best Chess Opening T...
    In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov is presenting to you the most dangerous chess opening trap in the Sicilian Defense. It is the most popular opening that happens after 1.e4 c5. And here’s the move that almost refutes the Sicilian Defense 2.a3.
    It is terrific that such a modest-looking move can be so deadly for Black. And Igor is going to prove to you, statistically, that it is exactly the case. He wanted to dive deeper into this variation because he covered it in his recent video lesson about opening traps for blitz and bullet games, and a lot of you have said in the comments that you have crushed your opponents using this line.
    Therefore, in the following video lesson he has covered not only the mainline, but also the possible sidelines so that you can handle them easily.

    Nice trap techniques. Thank you
    Puzzle:
    1)Neg5+; Kf8 (only square),
    2)Ngxh7+; Kf7 (only square),
    3)Qe6+; Bxe6,
    4)dxe6++
    Is it correct sir?

    It seems to be called the "Mengarini Gambit" according to pg. 408 of Schiller's Unorthodox Chess Openings

    Good video. I like that you provide advice for Black too. Too many chess videos present some opening as a magical solution rather than providing a balanced view.

    When I was a kid, living in Uzice, GM Ljubojevic taught me this line to exhaustion. At that time, I was a 10y.o. 1st category, 11y.o. master candidate, a young hope and all that, but then the wars happened and all the hopes crumbled. But, I can testify that GM Ljubojevic went into this a3/b4 line into some real depth. He showed me a bunch of lines, traps and tricks, and he did it all some 30+ years ago, before he reached the highest point of his career.
    Anyway - on one side - here's a GM who really explored this line half a century ago. On the other hand - I don't know if he ever played it in classic game, or if anyone ever did on that level. He considered this line to be one of his personal bags of tricks for 5m games or simultaneous games he played by the river. Never in a 2h30m for first 40 moves game.
    It'd be fair to call this gambit after someone who really used it, I don't know if there are such examples - of someone being successful with a3/b4 on some advanced level. Ljubojevic was among top10 for some time, so, I think a3/b4 would probably be considered insulting, right?
    I mean, just imagine, top players of planet, opening, fighting for center with every move, and after 1.e4 c5, you play 2.a3, preparing 3.b4 lol ;D

    The first idea, 2...g6, is the main line and scores extremely well for black in the database. The second approach allows 4. b5 Nd4; 5. c3 Ne6; 6. Bc4 Nf6; 7. d3 (followed by Ne2, exd5, O-O, Nd2 and a4-5), which guarantees a small but long-term advantage for white.

    this gambit. ~ "Dumbfound attack gambit" 😀 ... what do you think ?
    :for the puzzle it seems easy to capture blacks queen. - with white moving his queens to F4 check : Black can only block by moving his Bishop to F6 than white can take blacks queen - with knight to D8 after his Rook takes the knight then white other knight takes his other rook on A8...so he lost a Queen & Rook in a few moves = two major peices so He may as well resign...
    also after he blocks the check on F4 you could go =
    Knight to G5 Check
    blk: F8
    wht: E6. Check & folk
    Bishop takes -- Knight takes
    Renewed threat free Folk @ E6. "Check"
    and take blacks Queen that way (oops I may have missed something - black rook can't take whites knight....but anyway you cut it white can capture the Queen ) ....lol

      Not really a gambit with 2.a3, but 3.b4 is a gambit.. I Think Mengarini variation is right, but Also Bezgorov variation, he played alot of rapid games against strong GM’s with good results
