Ive thought the scandi was lame for so long because all i see is queen taking pawn on move 2. This is much more interesting, might start playing it in my games.
The Scandi is objectively pretty bad, but unless you're at GM level it's perfectly playable
@@worsethanjoerogan8061 i always play scandi when i get black pieces and i am 1800 elo, tho taking with queen is pretty much horrible, just develop your knight attacking the pawn , most players dont expect it and most understimate it, but i have had many perfect games with scandi
Palme Icelandic gambit is one of my favorite openings, i love it and it comes from this line of the scandi

Scandinavian is my first opening I learnt when I was 300, now I'm 600 ,im learning it again cuz I quitted chess, I also watched Levy video but it's a little bit outdated,but in your video ,you explained everything I need to know like decline pawn on d5 or modern Scandinavian. I hope you reached 1m this 2024.
How much time did it take to get 300 more elo?
@@TheRealIndia228I went from 300 to 1400 in just a year.Just watch agadmator,levy and do as much puzzles as you can
@@TheRealIndia228I went from 400 to 1300 in just a year.All you gotta do is do puzzles as much as you can and learn some beginner openings.You can watch levy or this channel for that and make sure you watch agadmator and hikaru channel as it helps to understand the game better.
Your videos are very helpful! As a beginner, I really like these system type setups.
Thank you! Very helpful!
This is excellent and exactly what i was looking for!
Literally yesterday i was thinking “i need to find more aggressive openings for black, i should look on Igor’s channel to find one” 😂
Great work as always and *love* the teaching method of explaining the why of every position so you dont just memorize moves.
Best chess teacher on YT!
Great! Memorizing moves does not work. There are just too many possibilities.
@@GMIgorSmirnov thank you. so this leads to what i have to say. i am here because i want to use the philosophy of chess in other areas of life. i could care less about the game of chess itself and the pieces to move over the board. - - > i could care less about becoming a chess GM. i care about what chess teaches for winning the battle of life . i care about becoming A life GM, a strategic thinking GM and this is why i call myself "GM SI7D " on youtube.
Great video, very helpful
Great video, thanks
Wow thank you this is great
Nice Thanks!
Love the videos!
Thanks for your videos Igor !
Glad you like them!
Informative!
Thanks a lot, sir! An avid fan of yours from the Philippines... more power and God bless!
❤️
Can U do a full course on Sicilian defends variations. I would watch it for hours
Second this
Very nice, Sir, thank you
my new fav opening
Thanks for the videos you are the best
can you make a videos about middle game plans?
Thanks!
love ur videos bro, very educational, precise and entertaining. Keep up the work bro!! Also can u do a video for sicilian defense, caro kann defense and dutch defense pls bro
great video
You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you! 😃
Thank you igor ❤

Thanks for this. I've watched quite a few of your videos and always find them very worthwhile.
I would like to ask if maybe you would consider doing another Scandi video or two in a little greater depth. I've been playing it a lot for a couple of years (I'm around 1600-1700 on lichess). I used to play the early c6 line as you show, but I found that as opponents got better, I ran into more trouble with it. Now I generally play Nf6 and delay c6, sometimes never playing it. Anyway, maybe you could address that in a future video as in most lines, the discoveries are not all that dangerous.
I also like the two sidelines: Portuguese gambit in longer time controls that you've covered in your opening bundle and Kadas gambit for blitz and bullet. Kadas does amazing in bullet.
Thank you for the video! I’ll have to study this for a while:) I wonder, is there a similar “good for beginners” opening against 1. d4?
Please do make more videos like this. I would love one showing how to play against the Kings Indian as white
Can you make a video on how to beat d4 Nf6 e3? I'm finding it really hard to get any sort of advantage, as I usually play KID and I can't find any sort of solid plan to beat it. Thanks
"will suffer from HORSING around for so long" lmao
Thanks for making a video on the Scandinavian, I used to make the mistake almost all the time of checking the king in the mainline 9:29
AMAZING VIDEO!!! No one else has made such a great video on the Scandinavian defence your video was very easy to understand and it was very educational.
Great vidéo .. Jobava London next ? Hyper Accelerated Dragon ?
Pls B29 Sicilian defense nimzowitsch variation, and also mid game plans, these videos are perfect 💯❤
nice ideas
as amazing always....
Great video! I really want to try this now, because I'm bored with the Caro or d6 that I usually play.
I tried it just now and with 2.nf6. But I couldn't get the pawn back until many moves later, and then I soon made a fatal blunder. It was a pretty good game up until just then.
I played 3 today, and my first was a 96% accuracy on Lichess, with 18 centipawn loss. Maybe a record for me.
Hey Igor Nation. I love this channel. Can you look into the CATALAN opening? Please and thank you
Hey Nice suggestion.
PLEASE DO THE KINGS GAMBIT NEXT!
Thank you very much.
I love these videos. Thanks Igor!
Good teacher❤
❤
Underrated
Learning every day new moves
I more thean agree with brandonlaureys: exactly what I was looking for. I will certainly also look into the follow up video. Best regards
your format is particularly helpful for beginners and starters. i for one don't know how to 'study' chess. i know how to play the basics but i decided to study chess in depth(? sort of) because i want to teach my child how to play. Hoping that someday he gets better bring him achievements or skills or at least develop what cognitive development this mind game might bring.
your format is bite sized, a bit still too much for one bite 😅but the vid can be paused and watched for a few times so that's not much of a problem. i transfer and save it using other availalble online tools so i can just run through the line, along with different variations. i separate other variations if there are too many of them like your version of the sicilian. but on videos with one or two lines, i save it in one chapter.
your videos helped me a lot and i hope i reach 1000 to 1500 someday. 🤭I benefit from it too after all, not just for my child.
thank you for you generosity in sharing your skills and knowledge in chess. the best that i know, easy to watch and listen to.
After Qxd4 I'd like to have seen the continuation of Qe2. That makes Qxf2+ impossible Also there's Nxe4 since it's unpinned which also stops Qxf2. Finally B Be3 would attack the queen. There's so many ways for white to respond here. I guess the idea was just to show up that checkmate idea but that's "hopeful" chess. :)
I usually go for knight to f3 on move 2 when black recaptures the pawn with the queen, it's like a zwischenzug to see what black will do. Then on move 3 I win tempo by playing knight to c3 attacking the queen. That's if the queen doesn't move on move 2, but almost all the opponents I face don't move the queen unless attacked.
Thank you so much I have been trying to perfect this opening
You rock
Catlan please!
You continue to make the most useful and informative chess videos, enhanced by your great commucation skill. Their length is about right and they relate so well to un-titled players. The only thing missing is your cat dozing in the background!!
you are my best teacher
I've been playing off of the English opening video you made about a week ago, I've climbed up about 200 rating points
GM Igor Smirnoff thank you for all you do! Merry Christmas!
Ditto!
Merry Christmas!
This is a good opening.
Thanks Igor and Happy New Year dude, may 2024 be your BEST year
IGOR NATION FTW!
It's an excellent content on the Scandinavian Defence as a crash course.
Expecting something like this on the 'Benko Gambit' as a crash course as well.
Love this format! Scotch gambit and Bishops Opening please
What about after black queen takes pawn, if she goes eE6 , instead of e5 ? What should white do ??
King's indian defense please
Oh wise and mighty one...
Today's i have a chess tournament than I will play this skandenevian defence.🎉 thanks
Good luck!
@@GMIgorSmirnov Thanks, it's over and I won by checkmate.
Nice
Thanks
you deserve it@@GMIgorSmirnov
Hey Igor, thanks! I reached 1700elo and I wanted to play a other opening after e4 that is more agressive but I didnt understood why I should play it although gothamchess made a video for it! Thanks for being my tutor so that I reached 1700elo in just 10 months! Today stockfish said that I played like 2100 in a fried liver attack in 5min chess. I love these agressive openings when I am only losing games so thanks again for this video!
Congrats!
You reached 1700 ELO in 10 months? How many tournaments did you play?
No official tournament yet@@nintendospecial9721 but to with about 10 people, why?
@@nintendospecial9721none yet
White could play d4 against scandy and transpose into the Blackman diemer
Hey Igor, you missed one possible line after e4 d5, which is white playing d4 on move 2 (Blackmar Diemer gambit). How do I play that in case I face it as Black? (I have already seen your video where you covered it from White's perspective, so that's not an issue)
If you don't want to worry about the BDG, go for 2...e6 or 2...c6, but be aware that BDG players - as me - do also have aggressive sidelines there LOL
😊
Which chess app is that
GM Igor smirnov I can't find the part of the before purchase details, where it should ask your adress, could you tell me where I can find it
Can you contact our support at @support@chess-teacher.com we will help you.
Never mind, I figured out how to do the payment
Hi 👋 I bought your premium course and I informed support about it but i still didn't get any course for free. What i should do?
We replied to you. Sorry about that. It takes time to get back to everyone! Merry Christmas!
Hmm I was thinking 1.e4 d5 2.e5 c5 3.f4. I put it into Lichess engine with that move order and it favoured black by 0.6 recommended 3.. Nc6 for the Scandinavian order, put it in as 1.e4 c5 2.f4 d5 3.e5 it favoured black by 0.8 recommended 3.. Nf6 for the Sicilian order. Don't trust the engine in the openings.
Anyway just some ideas if you push e5 and black does not push d4.
However if black does push d4.
1.e4 d5 2.e5 d4 3.Bb5+ c6 4. Be2 Bf5 5.f4 d3 6.Bxd3 Bxd3 7. cxd3 Na6 8.d4 Nb5 9. Ne2 Nd3+ 10.Kf1 Qb6 11.Qa4 Nxc1 12. Nxc1 e6. 13. Nc3 Ne6 14. Nb3 Rc1.
White has a big centre, a strong queen side and black is under developed, a slow positional game. The oposite of a centre counter gambit game. Also some interesting lines not mentioned hiding in that one.
Also
1.e4 d5 2.e5 d4 3.Bb5+ c6 4. Be2 Bf5 5.f4 d3 6.Bxd3 Bxd3 7. cxd3 Na6 8.d4 Qxd4 9. Ne2 Qd8 10.d4 e6. 11.0-0 Ne7 12.Nbc3 h5
Black attacks king side with knight pawn rook and queen. White has a strong castled position and centre is blocked. Options defend or queen side attack. Note white has a floating centre supported by pieces so black might look to undermine that.

Hi Igor I'm trying to find one of your videos unfortunately unsuccessfully
The video is the fort Knox variation of the Caro kann any help will be awesome
Are you looking for this video th-cam.com/video/HvER2idtW6M/w-d-xo.html
No unfortunately not but thanks for trying
It was called the fort Knox variation.
My mistake I just watched the French video by Igor and it is the fort Knox variation of the French defense but again thank you for your help
I was the first to watch
and I was nr. 5958
What if on the 14:06 seconds the opponent goes c4?
I never want to play this. I watched so I could kill it. Thanks.
Fianchetto opening
Thanks im in 2145
Between you and Gotham I prefer you cause your videos and shorter!
With a lot less yelling
In Gotham's old videos he has 10 minute openings
One video on English please, I've been exhausted saying the same
He made one recently
The third country is not Denmark, its actually th-cam.com/video/baHsoEAAMZU/w-d-xo.html
How about The Cow? :)
man !! please Trompowsky Attack
...interesting.
I always lose when my opponent start with this opening.😂😢
Why wouldn’t white threaten Bg4 with h3?
i need to know this also, don't know how to respond to that...
9 times out of ten begginers play Qe5+ and lose their queen in 7 moves
Good thing you didn't mention d4. 😉So I can still confused my opponent with that move.
what if they don't even take our pawn
Then don't play it because scandi is a lame response
@@iconoclasticphilosophy5641 nah its strong
@Arshspidey1 you're right, that's why it's played on all sorts of master level games 😂
@@iconoclasticphilosophy5641 its a beginner good opening
