Basically Kasparov plays the same principles in both the Spanish game (Ruy Lopez) and Italian game while playing as White. He moves the Knight from B1 to the King side to attack the Black's Kingside irrespective of however White castles.
Thnx. Your English reminds Me of a Brit impersonating an American in the 1960's(they're better now). This is a tribute to Your keen ear.@@GMIgorSmirnov
This maneuver is named after Steinitz who used it in a classic game against Chigorin. In fact, it was used earlier by Staunton against Van der Lasa in 1853.
There's actually another great example by James Mason vs Winawer in 1882 of this maneuver that predates the Steinitz Chigorin match, but Mason might have gotten the idea from Steinitz in his game against Blackburne.
I have no doubt in my mind that You are the best chess teacher out there who gives out so many things for free as well. I would love to work with you both as a chess player & professionally. So that I can spend maximum time with you.

Excellent lessons Igor! I have played almost same way with white, but there are two differences. First one I move pawn b2 to b4 to attack black bishop, so no need to my bishop back immediately. Secondly I move Bc1 to Be3 and sacrifice with black bishop and the double pawn help me later on by opening f line.
How to play with and against an opening please reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 for example as black I play caro kann against e4 but when I play e4 opponent also sometimes play Caro kann.
Hands down the best chess teacher online or anywhere else for that matter. I play chess professionally and teach the game for a living so I know of what I speak, write etc....
I found out that aiming for the king this way is quite useful. My defence is a bit weak sometimes, so I got some ideas from this video. Playing something unknown or weird is also working in short time games.
I doubt Igor reads these but I'll write this as though he does. 1. How impressive is your English? It often takes a couples sentences or more before I can tell you are not a native speaker. I can usually tell in less than a sentence. 2. Your work ethic is so impressive. I think the most intelligent people have a few common attributes: Seeing from others perspective, endless curiosity, imagination and even a sense of humor. Three out of four isn't bad. lol I realize you are in a role. 3. The real reason I'm writing this is because of your masters in Psychology. I also have wondered for years why we do what we do. I've now been watching a ton of chess mostly to see how you all think. Hikaru's brain is incredible. I've seen him take a blundered queen then a second later realize the queen was blundered! I have studied us humans using a totally different method. This year marks my 44th archery season. I've been living and acting as a primitive person for that long and I finally had an epiphany about why we think like we do. In a nutshell, you must understand how other predatory think while stocking prey. We have evolved that method like a giraffe evolved his neck. Everything we own, do , and act is related directly to that. I would love to go into detail but youtube is all I have. I've never even had facebook.
As always, Igor published another excellent opening on the Italian Game. I like this variation and play it oftenly. The only difference is after I move my Bishop to B3, I don't bother to castle. I begin relocating my Night immediately. It saves time and I castle afterwards.
I always favor bishop over knight. In some games, I've trap the rook against the edge of the board between my bishop & 2 pawns. I pretty much always hunt the bishop with my knight.
This is a cheat code for chess. Kasparov is truly genius. I watched this video on Friday. Three days later I played a casual game to see if I remembered it. Against a player rated 200 points more, black could do nothing. He had to sack his queen to stay alive for three more moves. I felt like everything was in preparation. If it were a rated game I'd probably be facing a ban.
theres a whole chapter on the suject by nizowitsch. his thinking was there are cases where a bishop can play that pin as is played commony by both sides in the the piano. he then gives some examples including some of capablancas games. nimzo basicly thought that putting the question to the bishop is dependent on the kind of pawn structure there is in the center. if the bishop can find no way to activate then put the question and or play g5. if the bishop has chances to awake then it can be a different game. this issue is one of nimzo's elements as taught in his book. like others have said here none of this is new. i think capa quotes a game of his own in his book crushing the enemy bishop's chances,. but relevent to this day. igor is just teaching normal stuff in a small lecture that is very usufull. i recomend looking at nimzos write up about when the bishop can come out ahead.
Thanks for the video Igor. Just a small point, if I may. Although your English is excellent, your Latin in a little off. FYI the plural of tempo is tempi, and not tempos.
I've been playing chess for years but I was never any good at it. It seems like I'm lacking something. I'm trying to devise a system that works for me and everyone else. I'm on to something good. When I'm finished I could be a tough opponent!
@@GMIgorSmirnov You have developed a top notch manner of presentation that is unequaled, and so thank you for that. When it’s so entertaining, it’s much easier to understand and more fun. Thanks for reading the comments, too.
So funny I just watched this. This is exactly how I won a game earlier. Black's pieces were very ineffective once the queen and knights were in the king territory.
Hey igor! Thanks for making our chess way better. You seem very intresting guy. Why not share your stories like your best tounament , your becoming gm stories, basically making content like gotham chess. It would add a lot to your channel. Best wishes!

guico piano pianisimo that is just opening in italian
these are just plans in Italian game
Good point but GM Smirnov always instructs on his Chess Academy Channel. And always ask "Did I learn something?" Yes indeed.
Basically Kasparov plays the same principles in both the Spanish game (Ruy Lopez) and Italian game while playing as White. He moves the Knight from B1 to the King side to attack the Black's Kingside irrespective of however White castles.
Thank you!!
I really like your lectures. Crisp. Real master is the one who can make others grow. You have that quality.

Some of my most memorable experiences have involved prophylactics
This is how to play Guico Piano pianisimo I think
I love this video. Well done. Thank you
this is why the italian is often called the quiet game..you play a very long a tactical maneuvering game just like the marathon that knight ran

If u play against an opening the trainer needs to know which opening is your opponent is playing for example Queen's gambit 1.d4,d5 2.c4
Thank you, man. You're really a great teacher. I've really improved my chess watching your videos. Cheers man, thank you again
🙏
Amazing lesson Igor! I would love to see a video on Benko (Volga) Gambit someday...
Thank you! Great lesson.
Very first example at 0:40 is actually the legal trap where white can do nxe5

I find Nelson Lopez's videos on his channel Chess Vibes more useful. (And I find his speech easier to understand, too.)
I found out that aiming for the king this way is quite useful. My defence is a bit weak sometimes, so I got some ideas from this video. Playing something unknown or weird is also working in short time games.
Such a rich course ! So much content in only 12 min for positional understanding! Congratulations!
Cool video...adding to my positional knowledge of chess🤭🤭
Nice!
Thank you Igor, as always high quality content, only your lessons improved my chess!!
Great work with the analysis! Thanks for getting back to explaining the bishop B3 retreat. I didn't get it at first.
Nice to see Kasparov fight the B-pin the same way I do ;-) Although h3, g4 is definately my favorite!
Definitely needed this lesson...thank you
Excellente vidéo, très claire et inspirante 👍
You should make a video like this for Tal and how he deals with pins

Watching from Philippines
On move 7, would it not be better, or at least just as good, to move the A Pawn up, rather than pulling the Bishop back?

Thank you sir. Question, why is it that in the Giuoco Piano white wants black to play Bg4, but in the Ruy Lopez white stops it by playing h3? 👍
8:43 or you just take twice on g6 since the pawn is pinned
does the move order change if my opponent plays the anti fried liver defense
Igor, great review. Does this same basic plan work when you play the Exchange Ruy and white doesn't retain the light square bishop?
Excellent content 🎉
thank you
I play the italian quite often, and I dont quite understand bb3. Wouldnt b4 also protect from the knight while also gaining a tempo and more space?
that chao was cool haha
I wonder what you think of the Chessnut air and the Chessup machines?
Finally got the video which I wanted🎉🎉
You are the best!
@7.40 surely Bxh6 is the best move? A free pawn.
In your first example of chasing the black bishop to h
Great video
Can you do a video on traps in the Benoni defense for black??🤲🤲
1.d4 c5
How about he just retreat to e6 to trade bishops? Do you wanna trade or not?
0:05 Lol!
"..do unto others what they did unto you.." 😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks❤❤

After Bishop G4 then I playing Bishop xF7 pawn check as longs as my queen pawn is not on D2.

Igor is absolutely hilarious. His one liners come out of nowhere
I usually choose d4 because there is no Sicilian. Looking for Garo strategies there. Has GM Smirnov covered any?
unhealthy fear of an opening stunts one's development
Garo?
Love you sir❤❤❤
❤
Can you make a video on how to remember squares
Thanks for the suggestion. Noted.
Dude that's just clickbait. I was fully expecting for Garry Kasparov to be speaking and explaining
But he kinda sounds like Kasparov…..
Doesn't matter, what matters is what you've learned
You have very, very high expectations 😅
@@planezero😂😂
Who was talking in the video then 😢. I thought that was kasparov
It looks a bit like the ruy Lopez set up?
8:39 I would rather K:g6 than thake a bishop for free...
at 7:56 why not take the pawn on h6
I've been playing chess for years but I was never any good at it. It seems like I'm lacking something. I'm trying to devise a system that works for me and everyone else. I'm on to something good. When I'm finished I could be a tough opponent!
Good attitude buddy 👍
no way so cool
Bg4 is just bad in these positions, play a6, h6, Bb6, nce7 to g6 as black and push d5 on the right moment. To be honest, the nuances are very deep
This gameplan seems very similar to the Ruy Lopez gameplan
Horsing around
Is that a bojak reference
isnt that kinda like ryu lopez opening ?
6:02 Do onto others what you would want them to do onto you. Not what they actually did. 😂
0:26
Why not Legal trap?
Because after Nxe5, black has Nxe5 protecting the bishop
@@Kutford In that case: Nxe5 Nxe5 Qxh5 Nxc4 Qb5+.
btw Nx5 is the best move according to Stockfish (brilliant).
this works on elo 1000
"black"king e¹-e²without war
Why bishop to b3 and why white is horsing around? Because he likes to play Ruy Lopez, he only pretends to play something else :)
Excellent content
❤️
Bro trying to speak like Kasparov????
In most cases they just take horse
My complaint is that Igor’s charismatic and entertaining explanations have totally ruined my enjoyment of other chess presenters.
🤔

Yesterday i have see the same game of Bobby Fisher herw u r lie or that lie
Bushop... wtf is a bushop?
Can you analyze the game vs Topalov at Wijk aan Zee in 1999 please?
I know it's one of (if not) his greatest game.
Thank you 👍👍
Thanks for the suggestion. Noted.
anyone who knows the Ruy knows this. zzzzz
So funny I just watched this. This is exactly how I won a game earlier. Black's pieces were very ineffective once the queen and knights were in the king territory.
Not so thinly veiled boasting. Probably more like a game you just lost. HILARIOUS so funny.
